big price changes from state to state in southern iowa that job would have been done for around 50000.00.it would have been more work in iowa, due to heavy clay soils the rootballs would have lots of clay with them causing lots of big holes to fill.if i really want to make some money i need to move!

I think my Boss gets 1000-1200 per acre, but all we do is cut it down, shove it to the bottom , and burn it. Of course, we have to yo-yo most of our stuff, as we live in the Hills. The BIG Iron comes right behind us, and Big Iron don't CARE about stumps. A D-11 thinks a stump is just some sort of Impurity in the ground.

Wow. I can't believe I read this entire thread. Educational and entertaining at the same time. Without the time constraints it may well have been in the $150 000 range. It really sucks when so much time is put into planning and bidding a project and then the vendors turn around and cancel.
