re: Mini-Ex? Land clearing question

I would highly encourage you to hire a competent bulldozer operator. He shouldn’t take more than a few hours.

You could technically do it with a mini, but it will take forever to haul each tree to a burn pile. You may also end up with splintered trees and holes all over the place you’ll have to go back and clean up.

With the bulldozer he’ll be able to push down the tree and expose the roots. He can then push the blade into the roots, “lift” the trees out the ground, and basically clear a swath almost immediately without turning the trees into toothpicks.

You can then rent a mini later if you want to rearrange your burn pile, run underground electrical, water, septic lines, etc.
