Anyone have any good ways to do this? No spray area. I was thinking machete. In put on a solid machete would also be appreciated.

Corona brand from Ace Hardware, and sharpen it good every few hours of work. -
Years ago I cleared a small small area that had young very straight saplings growing under some big oaks in junction….we used a weed eater with a blade on it. Very similar to a circular saw blade.
I recall doing my best not to get the blade into a bind.
These sapling were about 3-4 inches in girth.
We also used a small tree pruning chainsaw but the weed eater was nice that you didn’t have to bend over and could ‘reach in there’

Limp loppers, chainsaw or weedeater with a chainsaw looking blade
Be glad it ain’t mesquite. Those have to be poisoned.
These are awesome for smaller cedars . Extendable handles. No bending over
Just killed a big rattler with my cedar loppers!

If you are cutting them off at the ground make sure you are cutting parallel to the groung so they don't turn into tire killing spikes
How big and how many would detrmine how I handled themComment

Brushcutting weedeater if there are a bunch (enough to justify buying or renting one)Comment

Thanks, unfortunately my city Boy self has gone all electric on my yard equipment and the forester blade will not fit my weed eater.Originally posted by Big pig View PostLimp loppers, chainsaw or weedeater with a chainsaw looking blade

Even more disappointing is those clippers are “currently unavailable” and they don’t know if they will be back. Those seemed like exactly what I wanted.
At this point BT’s suggestion of renting a brush cutting weed eater may be the best option.
We have mo’ plenty mesquite but I just keep it under control because it’s about where I want it.Comment

Pricy if all you have is a small area but this has been one of my best purchases as far as return for cost. This joker will eat up cedar all the way to 3” thick! Eats 1” saplings like grass. If you don’t need long term use may look for one to rent.

Buy your self a circular saw blade and grind the center hole out until it fits your weed eater and use that. Cuts them like butter. I've done it to lots of them for the ranchers around here and they won't use any thing else now.Comment

I'm assuming this is not red cedar. If it is you must remove the root system to kill it.
If it's juniper cedar, make sure you cut below the lowest green limbs otherwise you are wasting your time. I use a tool similar to the looper that you looked at. Home Depot has them, Fiskars Model 92346935K...
Good luck,

Machete?? Heck no. I'd get a weedeater with a 3 prong saw blade and never look back.
That's what I use on everything that has a trunk smaller than a handball, about 2.5 - 3" in diameter.Comment
