Clearing
brush is easy with the Alpine Magnum stump grinder. Because this
machine utilizes a 4800 rpm cutting head and razor-sharp carbide-tipped
teeth, the Magnum can trim through brush and overgrowth in seconds.
In the above picture,
the Magnum is being used to prep an area for development. While the
Magnum can't compete with a bulldozer for sheer speed, it can remove
brush from sensitive work environments near houses and on the edges
of prepared grounds such as cemeteries and golf courses. You wouldn't
even dream of hauling a bulldozer over well maintained turf like
that--but at only 88 pounds, the Magnum is more than ready for
the job.
Because of its lightweight
brushing leg, the Magnum far outperforms the traditional brush
removal tool of the landscaping community - the chainsaw. Chainsaw
blades simply dull to quickly when clearing brush - not to mention
the danger involved with swinging the chainsaw around at full throttle.
The Magnum's brushing leg allows you to cut
a precise swath of brush, and then advance the machine as you clear out more.
This means less wasted effort and greater safety while cutting.
Additionally, since most brush and undergrowth
is near ground-level, the Magnum performs far better than a chainsaw--unless
you're willing to risk back injury by holding the chainsaw near ground level.
The Magnums balanced suspension lets you trim the brush in any location with
a minimum of effort.
Usually when cutting brush, you encounter
a mixture of growth including plants, dead branches, live sapling trees, and
stumps. The Magnum is the only tool that can tackle all of these very different
types of growth without having to switch tools. This means a savings in time,
as well as eliminating the need to transport several different machines to and
from your job site.
