How fast do you want to get this done? You need something with some power and traction. Skid loaders and even the 80hp tractors will be some what limited with front end loaders that top out in the 3,000 to 4,000 lift capacity range. Yes you can dig out a fairly large tree with one of these but it will take it's toll and beat up the machine. If you were taking down a few trees this would be the way to go - but 60 acres is a lot and a building 2-3 acre pond you're talking some big machinery You need to go with a Payloader or track loader. Pay loaders can easily lift 5,000 lbs or more with the loader (I'm not talking about the toy ones)and have a much heaver loader frame and bucket. The Payloader option might be better but a track loader (again not a toy) will ger the job done. A place I'm associated with did some land clearing last year and the year before and it cost them about $10,000 per acre to cut down all the trees, pull up all the stumps and gring it all up. When they were done they had level ground and several large piles of wood chips. $10K will go fast even if you dont grind up the stumps. I'd go with a really big payloader.
