Rotary Cutter - total of maybe 3-4 acres out of 18.5 are going to need to be rough cut periodically
Post hole digger - may be a good option for planting new trees. (we will be planting some fruit/nut trees in one area and will likely start a very small Christmas tree 'farm' in another)
Forestry related equipment - We have 14-15 acres of Loblolly Pines that can be harvested for timber. We need to thin scrub and deadfall between the trees.
I use a 5' heavy duty Rotary Cutter weighing a bit over 1,000 pounds with a Category 4 drive line. $4,000 The scrub and deadfall shreds into mulch. Pointless to handle or transport scrub or deadfall. Chop it.

Rotary Cutter / Bush Hog Considerations for Compact Tractors
If you buy a Rotary Cutter too light it will visit the dealer yearly for $600 repair. NEW Rotary Cutters cut everything at first. As the light blades dull a light cutter undergoes increasing stress. 60" - 72" Rotary Cutters: 400/500 pounds = light duty = grass only. 600/700 pounds = medium...
