I've done a fair amount of tree clearing on the farm. Fence rows, Osage, cedar etc. I need to start clear some heavier timber and was wondering what your techniques are.
This is in hilly southern Iowa in a "pasture" that's been neglected for about 40 years. With a few exceptions it's about equal parts eastern red cedar, honey locust, and osage orange.
Right now all I have is a D6c with brush screens around the rops. I'm looking for an excavator but I may not be able to find one for this project.
Had one guy tell me he pushes trees up in windrows. Presumably that means pushing them into rows from either side.
What's your method?
