If you can find someone who has a shear on a skid loader they can be sheared off at ground level. The people I harvest with cash rent some land that had been in CRP and the cedars had come up in it pretty bad. The landowner took it out of CRP when the contract was up and wanted it farmed. The farm manager had someone come in with a skid loader with a shear and he did a good job. To save a little money the landowner said he'd cut the cedars in one corner of the field. He hacked them off at six inches or so. The land is in a conservation plan and can only be no-tilled so soybeans were no-tilled. That fall (2010) the floating cutterbar hit a stump and it bent the cutterbar to the point where they had to replace it after the season was over. It's too bad your cedars couldn't have been sheared off right off the bat while they can be seen because cutter bars and hidden tree stumps don't get along together very well. The cutterbar on a haying machine is probably tougher than the flex bar on a beanhead bit it's still a bad combination, and Cedars don't rot away very fast. Jim
