I have a 4 acre pasture at the rear of my place in which there were two large brush piles. These were created when the previous owner cleared the property and had a dozer push most of the trees from the pasture area into the piles.
My mission over the last two summers has been to get rid of these unightly brush piles, each the size of a house. Since I can't burn in this area, my only option was to haul this stuff out in pickup loads. As you can imagine, this took a bunch of work with the chain saw. However, because this was all pushed into place with a dozer, there was some tractor work involved to dig out half-buried trees, and to do the final grading. Here are some pics of the process.
In the pic of me on the lawn tractor, the first brush pile is in the background, and kind of hard to see because it is so over grown, but it is about 8 feet tall, 20 feet wide and 30 feet long. The other one was about twice that size. I'm just glad to have this project over and see the grass starting to grow in these areas.
I used my loader and box blade for the grading and the pallet forks for digging the half-buried trees out of the dirt.
