The fleet
Nine machines. One crew that knows when to use each.
We run multiple crews and haul our own machines, so a big tract isn’t waiting on one machine and a homesite under the oaks never gets the machine meant for a ranch.

Machine to job
Which machine goes where
Most jobs use more than one. A typical ranch might see the Tigercat on the open pasture, the Timberpro on the creek banks and a D1 on the trails.
Dense cedar on open acreage
The big wheeled mulcher grinds heavy cedar and brush into a mulch layer across open ground.
Steep, rocky or creek-cut ground
The boom reaches over ledges and drainages while the tracks stay on stable footing.
Under oaks, trails and fence rows
Cat D1 dozer mulcherCat 299 skid steerCat 285 skid steer
Compact tracked machines work close to the trees you’re keeping; hand crews handle the detail.
Mesquite pasture
John Deere dozer with root rake
Root raking pulls the crown so mesquite doesn’t come back thicker.
Pads, roads, ponds and drainage
Cat D1 dozer with bladeCat 299 skid steer
Blade and ripper shape the dirt; the skid steer’s rock crusher turns limestone into base.
Larger timber
The cutter takes standing trees down at the base and lifts them out whole.
See it work
Brush in. Mulch out.
The mulchers cut, grind and spread in one pass, leaving a layer that holds the soil in a downpour and slows regrowth.
