rampeyboy said: (quoted from post at 20:09:23 08/07/09) wow thanks for the quick responses folks! Sounds like good advice to me. I have spoken to a couple guys about clearing those trees for me. Nobody has actually come out and looked yet to see what they're signing up for, but it sounds like $500-$1000 to do the job. I just hate to pay someone for that if it is something I could do myself, particularly if the required tractor could later be used for mowing.
So, aside from the larger trees, what's the best way to clear the 1-5" trees? Maybe rent something like a skid steer, or excavator? I have used my 1 ton truck and pulled a couple over, and out of the ground, but have been pretty concerned about damaging my truck. Basically, I have been letting the truck roll away at idle, and letting the weight of the truck pop the trees out. I am also using a small chain hoping it to be the weak link(not the truck frame)!
You know, a good Stihl saw, some grunt work, chains, a Massey Ferguson or 9N.......... that's how I would have rolled.
