How close to the ground does it cut? I've seen reports that it leaves some.
One of my quarters (160 acres) has a lot of cedar trees, was overrun when I bought it from my mom. 15 years ago I went out with an axe and chainsaw, got many cleared out. I also hired a shear/skid loader for a few days. Cleared out some more, but more are back. Any way I'm looking at it, lots of time and a few thousand dollars. I'm probably buying my own shear for the bigger ones, but the smaller ones aren't practical with that, I was thinking one of those brush cutters would work, but not if it leaves much of a stump.
I do have a DR wheeled string trimmer, and as I've said before, they are solid. Mine was from when the frames were still all aluminum. All metal parts, bearing, holders, etc., not like some of the cheap ones in town with plastic bearing holders. I have a "beaver blade" with it that they sell, disk with a real replaceable chain saw chain around it. I use the front of that to cut off some of them, but, sometimes dirt around the base of the tree, and it's hard to keep it out of the dirt in general. Works great, but needs sharpened often. I got out several hundred with that this spring, made a fair showing in another pasture that isn't as overrun. Finding time to do any of that is difficult. But if I get caught up I can rotate haying and keep them off.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
