re: Mini-Ex? Land clearing question

It will cost you $4-500 per day for a small excavator that will be enough to clear land...roughly 25hp. I am clearing 3 acres right now and rented and operated myself to save a little money, but i have also been around equipment/tractors most of my life. If nothing else it's fun being able to learn and do it yourself. But, it also may not be as economical as paying a professional.
