Default RE: Renting a bulldozer

ORIGINAL: dtk913

I will trygive everyone a better idea of what I need to do. The piece I am talking about is about an acre and a half. It is in an area that was selectively logged about 8 years ago. There are no really big trees, but quite a few 6-10 inch diameter trees, mostly elm. Those aren't the problem. I can take care of that with a chainsaw. The part I am worried about is all the underbrush that has grown up, mainly thorn bushes and stuff like that, and the deadfalls that were left from the logging. I just think that if I want to get a good ssedbed going I am going to have to really clean it up. Plus a dozer or something like it would be nice for piling up the cut down trees and deadfallsin certain areas to get the deer to come into theplotnear stand locations.Hope this gives everybody a good picture of what I am looking at.
Try not to remove much topsoil. Also if you can get a dozer with a root rake you'll be more effective. Here in Michigan I paid $75 an hour which included the operator.
