Beirne was hired to clear the land so that it could be usable again for other purposes. The oyster farm job took about 8 days and covered soft ground, hard ground, riverbeds, drainage ditches, and everything in between. The stumps can be a challenge, but Beirne is very happy with how his RK5015 handled these stumps. "There were limbs from when they did the logging that were decomposing, stumps that were decomposed enough where this handled it and made it flat to the ground." The live foliage wasn't his only problem, however.
You name it, it was in there," he recalled. Invasive species like the Asian pear tree, the holly was really thick. "It was just overgrown with pines anywhere from three to eight inches, scrub brush. The farm had been logged about 5 or 6 years ago and was littered with 19 acres of brush. With the Right Equipment, The World is Your Oysterīeirne recently did a brush clearing job for an oyster farm. It's better for the developer, so he keeps using Green Gorilla for his land clearing projects. They don't want to walk through brush."īeirne clears the brush and leaves a nicer, finer mulch that's much more pleasant to look at and walk on. We make paths so the customers who fly in from out of town can get a better appreciation of the property. "He buys it up and brings me in there to clean it up. When the developer buys land to show to potential buyers, he brings in Beirne to clear a path for them to walk along to see the property. Much of Green Gorilla's work comes from a real estate developer, who's actually the customer who requested a finer product, which led him to Fecon. "If you grease it and take care of it, it'll last. It was pretty cool to see."īeirne flipped the teeth at 98.7 hours and greases his machine every four hours. By the end of the day, the teeth worked themselves out. "This thing chewed it up, but it nicked up my two teeth pretty good, but that thing still cut like a champ. I'd have never seen it walking by," he said. An old bulldozer sprocket was hiding under the brush. Sometimes pieces of wood get stuck in there, so I got out to check. "I was finishing up a six-acre tract when the mulcher head shut down. diameter rotor fitted with double carbide teeth, the RK5015 eats through brush with ease.īeirne is very pleased with their resilience and service life, putting logging 170.4 hours on the original set of teeth.

He routinely clears thick brush and limbs, even standing trees to 8-in. Big Dog With a Big Appetiteīeirne was so impressed the new mulcher that he nicknamed his machine Cerberus, after the mythical three headed dog, because of its voracious appetite. Operating with an industrial brush cutter mounted on a Kubota SVL-75 Highflow compact track loader, he did good work for his clients, but still sought out ways to improve his craft.Ī conversation about producing a finer sized output led him to Fecon and its local dealer, Steen Enterprises in Adams Run, S.C. When Beirne retired from the United States Air Force after 23 years of military service as a Joint Terminal Attack Controller and Aerial Gunner, he founded the landscaping company Green Gorilla Lawnscapes, in Charleston, S.C. What he ultimately found was that a finer finish led to many more starts, due to his RK5015 mulcher from Fecon.
So, after a client asked if he could find a way to produce a finer finish after a bush hogging project, he started researching his options. in diameter, leaving behind a carpet of mulch that is easy on the eyes, and on the feet.ĭan Beirne is a big believer in the mantra, the customer is always right.
