high speed drum up front swinging flail chains. It chopped good sized 
trees down into slivers and chips. I think he had a few problems with 
barbed wire wrapping on the drum

as it was clearing up an old fence line. This was done in March as it 
was the only time they could go down the whole fence line without 
running through mud and water in the

the sloughs. I got some drone video of it working.
