I am having 5 acres of pine timber cut within the next few weeks, in order to eventually open up some more land for pasture. I understand that the logging company is going to come through an make a mess in the process, and I am prepared to have to work to clean it all up. I am trying to get by on a very low budget to clean it up, and I know this is going to involve more work on my end. piling limbs and burning them is pretty straight forward, but my questions are about the stumps. They are cutting between 80-100 18" to 24" pine trees. I know, ideally the best way to remove the stumps is with an excavator, but that really isn't in my budget. I have access to my John Deere 5045D, a Case backhoe, and a large, self contained stump grinder. All I am looking to do is knock the stumps low enough to where they will not damage my brush hog. Any recommendations?
