I'd think that if you're just clearing out underbrush so that you can get a better look at what you have... then you want to do as little damage as possible. Get a good chain saw and a spacing saw and go at it with that. The thing with dozer's is this... You go into that mess with your typical dozer from the rental store, you won't have a forestry package... so you lose lights, you bust glass, you drop trees on the roof, you tear the exhaust off, you get rocks stuck in the under gear because it's not guarded properly, ETC. BT/DT spent many hours clearing land with a dozer that IS guarded. These things happen to seasoned, professional operators, not just rookies. That's why forestry machines are specially guarded for their work. How much damage do you want to pay for at the end of the week?? On top of that, if you're crawling around between trees that you want to save, you will do damage to the roots and often to the trunks of the larger trees, no matter how hard you try no to damage them. So... again, I would suggest that you thin it manually, see what you have, and then clear what you want clear later on.
