I'm a geezer with a primary house in the city and a second house on 100+ acres of "recreational property" about 100 miles away. I keep a few acres mowed around the house and also try to keep the road frontage and some walking trails mowed.
Autumn olive bushes, eastern red cedar trees, and willows in the wet areas are starting to take over the areas that I want to keep open. I can (very slowly) handle the cutting of bushes and trees with a chainsaw, but would like to haul the debris to some brush piles where they would be out of sight and out of mind. The old tractors I use for mowing don't have remote hydraulics or loaders to help with moving the debris. Buying a newer, bigger tractor with a loader and brush grapple doesn't make sense for me at my age.
I looked on the internet for ideas of how other people move brush. A lot of people mention using pallet forks on their front end loaders, but that won't help me. Then I ran across a picture of a person using an odd looking trailer behind an old farmall tractor. Some further searching suggested that it was a variation of a "Hay Bale Buggy".
Has anyone seen or used something similar? I'm currently dragging large pieces behind a Gravely tractor or a Ford 640. I have a riding lawn mower trailer that I use for small things. Does anyone have any other good ideas that don't require large investments?
