I am trying to create a pasture in the foothills of the berkshires of Western Mass and have just finished clearing a half acre of dense mature forest. I had someone in to remove the stumps which are now in a plle waiting to be hauled out and ground up. My excavator will be back with his bulldozer to flatten out the craters as best he can, but i am wondering what the best tool to rip through the roots would be? I have a heavy 40 HP tractor and am wondering if a box blade with rippers might work folled by raking and possibly roto tilling in some manure... Is their an easier way? perhapa higher it out to someone with a bigger machine? Thanks!
