Brush hoging a clearing
 

I just presently bought 4 acres in side a state forest that I hunt... Anyhow about 3/4 of acre was logged out about 5 years ago and has small sapling trees... I want to brush hog it and plant some persimmon and crab apple... Any pointers I should knows

Don't hit any stumps! 5 years is pretty far gone for a rotary mower. You might consider hiring a skid steer with a mulching head. Cheaper than a new bush hog...

Just imaging doing all that work
 

... makes me think of taking two aspirins and laying down for an hour.

The price some people pay for just buying four acres.

Thanks ill look into that mulcher

Around here a skid steer with a mulcher head will run $200 or more an hour with a minimum. I would rather go ahead and get someone with a small dozer to clean it off.

Not sure if your bashing me... I'll take it as yes...

The 4 acres i bought are inside a 40,000 acre state forest... So to me 4 acre is like owning 40,000... So i think it is worth wild to enhance part of this property for whitetail deer DFAH...

I don't think he was mocking, but I do think that brush hogging 4 acres is a chore.

In my opinion, it's worth doing, but not with a brush hog. Hire somebody with a bulldozer for a couple hours, it will save you a lot of headache and make your life much easier.

Maybe I should of been more clear on what I was talking about... 3/4 of a acre has saplings... The 3/4 of a acre is what I want to clear... Not the entire 4 acres... But anyhow I've figured out what I was going to do to remove saplings...

land is land, no matter how much. go for the dozer.
my dad had some land cleared by a dozer and it didnt set him back too much i think.
