RE: Trail maker
GhilleGuy:
We've used several diffrent tools for clearing trails. A lot depends on how thick the woods are. A good lopper for cutting saplings up to 2" can get a lot of it done. Buy the one with the longes handles you can find. Make sure you cut them as flush to the ground as you can. For larger trees a small chain saw works well, keep it out of the dirt/sand or you'll dull it quickly. You can always put a brush buster bumper on the quad and just drive. We have also used 18 volt sawz-all's with a few xtra battery packs and an aggresive blade. Straps/ropes/winch on the quad can also make trail clearing easier. Hope this helps.
