Unfortunately, I can't burn the area because there's too many tall (100+feet) trees with low hanging branches. There's also lots of brush that can catch fire. Looks like I'm stuck doing this the hard way.
You know, you can't bribe kids to do work these days. I tried offering my daughters $300 to clear black berry bushes from my back yard. They turned me down. I offered $300 to the boys down the street. They turned me down. I ended up buying goats for $35 each. They cleared the blackberries in two months. Maybe I can get the goats to clear the brush and grasses from the barbed wire so I can find it to roll up. Eight freakin' strands through orchards, fields, swamp, and Pacific Northwest forest! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif It's the type of woods that, when you try to push through, the brush pushes you back! You wouldn't know if there was a bear five feet from you even if it stood up on it's hind legs, the brush is so thick!

I just use my front bucket on my backhoe mostly when cleaning up fencing during a demo job. My toothed bucket is also a big help sometimes. most of the tim I use the thumb and get at the end of the roaw and start pinching it up in balls and draging it towards the machine untill the ball is too big to fit into the bucket and thumb then i work and another ball. then bury about 10 feet under the ground where it sets. Or if its setremely grown up in vines Ill sit beside it with the hoe and rake it loose It usually is so tangle it pulls up a nice clean stripp where the trees and fence as about every 2 00 feet I pull up Il back up and tantake the laoder and work it in to burn piles or let it set in wadded up piles to make a rabbit shelter. I have used just the loader on the backhoe to pushh the rows up into piles for and that leaves a nice trail to bak up from its alot of work looking on the graound for holes and tire eaters and such. I had a lady call me last night wanting 1500 feet of 4 strand to be grubbed and raked off into bigg piles and removed. Ill probably bring a 40 yard container from work to take them oto the lanffill we run. We then can use it for and erosion controll fecne in the drainage hollow.
