My SIL does that for a living. Let me know if you want his contact info.
ETA: I don't think a 10" tree would be a problem for his equipment.
If your SIL can do work in the Wylie/Rockwall/Royse City area, I’d like to talk to him about clearing some hackberry and cedar elms in a pasture. I also need some pond repair work done if he does that type of work.
Sounds like the type of equipment we hired on a job a few years ago. Company had a trackhoe with an attachment that mulched trees while they were still standing.Just a few months ago, we hired a man with a dedicated forestry machine to clear and reclaim some pastures, mainly of elm and cedar. Two days, @ 8 hours a day cost $1800. He cleared close to 15 acres. And there are no brush piles to burn either. By this summer, we will be able to disc it, and replant hay on it again.
It was money well spent.

Nothing left when they were done.

Unless it's Mesquite. Then it grows right back from the stump.There are several types of attachments of the forestry equipment. The common is the one that attaches to skid steer.
They also make various sizes of dedicated forestry machines. People wonder why they charge as much as they do per hour, they should price the equipment! They are very expensive pieces of equipment, as well as needing lots daily maintainance, and repair parts are expensive to boot.
But time and money that would be spent over six months to a year, clearing land, they actually are very cost effectives ways of clearing land. Usually you can brush hog over the areas immediately, and disc up the soil in about six months to year, depending on the stumps below ground rotting.
And twice as fast.Unless it's Mesquite. Then it grows right back from the stump.
With more thorns than before.

I'll be experimenting this spring.
Till then, I'm digging them up.
Ive watched a few vids to get rid of stumps. Other than grinding or pulling them up, ive seen drilling 1" holes about 5-6" deep & fill with Epsom salt, slighly water & cover. Repeat as necessary... it will eventually dry out & rot.
Rock salt and diesel. Not only will it kill that stump, but it will kill all the little mesquites around it too.I have some small mesquites on my place that I need to get rid of. Does anyone know what I can put on the stumps to keep them from coming back? And do I need to wait until spring to cut them?
