I recently had about 3 acres of land cleared of cedars. While a contractor was building my pond, I asked him if he could do it and he said "one more day of labor" /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I now have 3 huge piles of cedar that I can't wait to burn (but the weather has to be just right so wait I will) and an otherwise clear meadow. Except...
The dozers they used to topple these trees are big an unweildy. So, my once pretty-level meadow is marked with ruts, ridges and the occassional hole where a tree stump used to be.
Now, I'm a tractor neophyte, at first I thought I could use my DK35's bucket to solve this problem. It only took a few minutes to see that wasn't going to work at all.
So now I'm wondering how experienced folks would deal with this. The only thing I can think of would be to drag a clean log or long wooden beam around with a chain on each end, just kind of pull the high spots down into the low spots.
Any advice, better ways ???
