Who clears land in the Brandywine Valley?
Huntly Land Co. does, from headquarters in Chadds Ford. The flagship of our fleet is the state-of-the-art Caterpillar 285XE forestry package: the top of Cat's compact track loader line, 134.1 horsepower of high-flow hydraulics driving a dedicated drum mulcher, a BRX418 industrial brush cutter, and a rock grapple. That's estate-grade finishing power that rental units and tractor rigs can't match, on tracks that hold ground wheel machines won't touch. We run every job as one accountable team from first email to final walkthrough: no subcontractors, no handoffs, no runaround. Send photos, get a straight range against our published rate card within one business day, walk the ground with us, and lock a fixed price and a firm date before the equipment unloads. Then watch the proof arrive from the field while the work runs.
The fleet
Most outfits show up with a rental-yard skid steer. Our fleet is led by the state-of-the-art Cat 285XE forestry package, purpose-built for one thing: turning overgrown ground into finished ground in a single pass.
Cat 285XE
The flagship of Cat's compact track loader line, with the highest hydraulic flow and pressure in the range.
134.1 hp
High-flow power feeding a dedicated drum mulcher built for park-finish results, not rough knockdown.
3 heads
Drum mulcher, BRX418 industrial brush cutter, rock grapple. One carrier covers the whole job, no second mobilization.
Tracks
Ground pressure spread low enough for slopes, soft fields, and stream-side ground that wheel machines rut or refuse.
