We have a good chunk of land, two small 1 acre plots exist now. I'd love to start clearing out more plots (my goal is a nice 5-10 acre one), yet have never done that kind of work myself other then clearing out a small area of tree's. We have a nice little Kubota that can dig, thinking of trying a small area first for some apple tree's then moving on to a nice sanctuary hay plot for the deer and birds. Ideally I'd like to beg the neighbor to borrow (rent) his monster backhoe / dozer, I just don't know him well enough to ask that. I'm just dreading trying to get the stumps out without some major equipment. Even if it takes me a few years whatever, I just want to get it done.
