If I could easily drop $12k for clearing without batting an eye, I could probably afford to buy my own used dozer for only a little more and do it all myself.
Guess I can't afford to be a landowner in TN  |
Yeah, I know what you mean. By the way, the land that I had cleared cost under $275 an acre 10 years ago. So, I couldn't afford to be a land owner where you are, much less in TN!
Still, the money paid for dozer work was less than it would have cost to do it myself. Seriously, especially when you add in the damage done to the machine and the cost to haul it back and forth. But if you don't have the cash rolling out of your .. uh.. wallet, then it doesn't matter!
You can get a lot done with a chainsaw and a haul line. Just
cut, haul out, pile up and burn when weather permits. You will get a lot cleared and will get in shape / lose weight too!
