I'm looking for pointers on how to take the first bite out of the lot as I begin the clearing process. My site is open land behind me (East) and the front (West) is a wall of scrub brushes, small gums and maples with a smattering of oak thrown in.
What's the best technique to get started? Go in with the grapple high and smash as much as you can to the ground first. Or go in low digging things up by the roots?
I've got to clear a 100 foot path before I get to any seriously large trees. Since this will be a learn as you go project I intend to go slow and not break any thing. So I'm looking for some guidance before I become a graduate of the school of hard knocks.
All the videos I've seen on YouTube just seem to be of people trying to tear up their rig. This tractor has to last me a long time so if I can get good, valid suggestions before I get started then I can limit the effects of the law of Murphy.
Thanks!
