Hi,
I am getting some land cleared for wildlife food plots. Has 10+ year old hard maple, ash and oak stumps and now trees in the 1-6" range. Any larger trees 10" on up will be passed. A guy with a JD 700 has bid on it at 100/hour. Seems like a good deal to me. Sound good to you?
Also, on fairly level ground as described with the old stumps plus rocks, how much ground would you expect him to be able to push off per hour? Obviously, not exact, but round about how much?
Last, what can I do as the wallet man to make his job go faster so he can clear more area per day? More brush piles? Rows of brush and not piles? Drag the rough ground with a 30 hp tractor while he clears?
Thanks!
