I purchased a 6 acre parcel adjacent to my current lot, and just had 3.5 acres rough cleared for a pasture.
The area was a mix of cedars, black walnuts, hickory, white oak and other stuff....some areas were really thick, others no so much.
Added to the clearing, there was a large pile rocks, clay and dirt that was dumped on the parcel when my development was built. By large I mean 80 feet by 30 feet by 10 feet, or approx. 3000-sq. yards. This pile had to moved approx. 200 feet and dumped into an old dry cow pond and then levelled. All total, I paid $9000 for the work to be done by a local contractor with a large tracked CAT. That was fun to watch.
Now I face a 3.5 acre dirt patch with lots of roots, small stripped trees, deep ruts that I must prep for seeding at the end of march.
I will post some pictures soon. I am really enjoying running the box blade through the area
