Lease lane clearing.

As the title states... I think I'll need a drum mulcher to clean my lanes up after all the slash the timber company left behind last year. I can't get a bushog in there without tearing it up I don't think.
Looking at a total area of about 0.4 acres. Any idea what I'd be looking at price wise?
I've never had to rent equipment and it looks.kike a drum mulcher will have to come with an operator if I rent so.kight as well hire someone.
I basically can't hunt it this year due to the overgrowth now after not getting to cut it last year.

Don’t know what state you’re in. But check with the Forestry Commission. You can hire them to do it or get the name of some of their contractors. Very reasonable rates. All said you’ll come out better probably.
You can find most of the info online

I do dozer work on the side. Sounds like something that could be done in a day. I’d say 1k on the high side.

Dub I’d bet a dozer could make this fella happy or at least let him hunt this year.
Mulcher is on HIGH priority list for this spring.

The pine slash will be half rotted by the time you line something up after season. Throw some food plot mix out with all this rain, it’ll come up.

I did a job similar to this Monday. There were two log loading decks that were covered in slash and broken logs. It took a little time but the customer now has a couple new plots .

A dozer is a much better option IMO to clear out trash left by the logging companies. The stumps and other trash can be set up to funnel deer into the plots, as well as clearing it out better so it doesn’t tear up your equipment later.

There is so.much we can drive a four-wheeler around without getting beat up. Kids can't walk it.
It's aggravating as last year they burnt the bedding area behind me the week before opening day two years ago and then they thinned it out a before last opening day.
They had all that equipment they could have pushed some shite back to at least make my area somewhat usable.

The hope would be they could mulch down to the ground enough to make it walkable and rot faster..as well as cuttable with the small stumps gone.

So pushing this would be better?

It’s still there if it’s mulched. A dozer will remove it and pile it where you want.

Location and when do you want it done
ETA: As someone that does both (dozer & mulcher) the mulcher is a much better option as it leaves the mulch to protect from erosion and also can be disked into the soil later.

Two things...
1. The timber company does not run their multimillion dollar operation around your deer hunting, or anyone else's for that matter.
2. They can be funny about you putting equipment on their land they are managing for timber, not deer

I'd be south of Fields LA/North of starks. Sometime after deer season ends in January. I'd imagine it'd get busy for crews doing this.

I'm aware.
But I'm also aware they lease land to us (we pay them) and if they destroyed our areas then we'd quit and stop paying.
I didn't expect them to make it all like pasture land but one extra pass with a blade would have taken no time and I'd actually get to hunt. Especially while they are all already there.

I'm in no way taking the timber company's side, but they won't care. They will have it leased to someone else next year.
They will let it grow up this coming summer then they will spray it so that nothing will grow for at least three years. They will then burn it and plant pine trees next winter. Anything you clear out now will have rows of pine trees down the middle of it by the end of next winter.

That’s a bit out of my range but I’ll see if I can find you someone close.
If I can’t find someone to get it done I’ll make the trip.

I had to get a dozer this fall to clean a big log set. Huge piles of debris pushed to the outside left me with1-1/2 acre plot. Along with cleaning 4 more thinning lanes it cost me 1400.
Needs a little more rotting of the mulch but I’m set for several years.

Thank you.
I've spoken with a few local who said they can do it after the season. I'd hate to see you come too far for a small job. I do appreciate the feedback.
It's two small clearing and one lane.
I'd be surprised if they came back and planted this small area anytime soon.

I may be able to put you in touch with a few local guys, I live in Sulphur and hunt around Merryville. If you need me to reach out just let me know.
