A landowner near West Point, in Fayette County, had done his own grubbing with a dozer and was left holding the piles. The burn ban meant they were not going anywhere. One day with the Tigercat put them on the ground.

The pile problem
Grubbing with your own dozer is the cheap part. What most people do not plan for is the pile that comes out of the ground afterwards, and it is always bigger than it looked going in: whole trees, root balls, dirt packed into the middle of it.
The usual answer is a burn. When a county burn ban is on, that answer disappears, and the pile just sits there taking up ground.
Why mulching clears it
The machine works the stack down from the top rather than driving into it. Root balls and the dirt caught up in them slow it, but they do not stop it, and what comes out the other side is a layer on the ground instead of a mountain in the middle of the property.
No permit, no weather window, no waiting for the ban to lift.
