Still in the beginning stages of clearing my recently acquired 15 acres of land with my M7060. The land will be my future homesite and it has some very nice features including a hillside elevation change of about 500 ft. with about 5 acres of that being on the top of the hill and flat. It also is adjacent to 1500 acres of Wildlife Management Area.
Over the past six months I have also purchased quite a few things to assist in the clearing of the land. I started off by purchasing a truck that has proven to be invaluable thus far. Soon after I purchased a tractor from a local dealer and quickly opted to install a piranha tooth bar for the bucket to help speed up the sheering and cutting off of countless weeds that are taller than the tractor and other invasive brush that was left behind to grow after loggers cut the whole property in 2012. Within the past month I picked up a more than adequate box blade and a grapple which have been fantastic. So far to date Ive been able to clear / mow about 3 acres. Some discoveries along the way included a single wide trailer that I did not even know was on the property long since abandoned and falling apart. A lot of logging debris and trash from their operations.
My Current objective has been to clear and mow as much as the easier to access parts of the property as possible as the hillside section of the property has several fingers that split different directions making it more difficult to mow and see the stumps left at waist high through the 7' tall brush. Im hoping if we get freezing temperatures this year most of the soft brush will die off letting me see the stumps easier making the process much quicker.
