I have cleared about 3 acres in the the last year with a Bolens 21 hp 4x4 (Brush hog and rear blade) and a Kubota L39 TLB (FEL, BH, Grapple Bucket). I just purchased a box blade and landscape rake to do the finish work and maintenance. A combination of any of the previous suggestions may work best for you. It really depends on the specifics of your situation. Short term vs Long term goals, Work space, timeline, etc... L39 may be overkill for you in the long term. But a tlb would be nice. I don't like to mess with buying something with the intent to sell it when I'm done but that may work for you. Renting may as well. Renting requires more planning and weather doesn't always cooperate. I like to do things when I want for as how long I want and owning lends itself to that mind set.
