I don't think I have any quite that big. Seems like they cleaned it up half way decent. Should look good in about 5-6 years when the pines start to take off.

Most of it seems to be pretty clean to me. Here's a couple piles around the land. That was my thinking as well about cutting between the rows. I do like how it gives the deer cover, but think think the land would look a lot better if I cut between the rows.

There’s a few large piles, but most aren’t that big. I just figure cutting the sage and brush will make the land look better. The grapple would help pick up a lot of the stray logs. I’ve got a 4540 Mahindra that should do the job. Just have to figure out how much I want to clean it up.

I’m not sure how they planted them (I’m a city slicker 😁). We are buying the land from a timber company and they stated the Loblolly Pines were planted in Jan 2020. As far as we know, they planted all 48 acres like this. I figured it would look good if I could cut down all the sage and other...

Thank you for the advice! I will look at getting rid of the bigger logs left and maybe let the rest rot.

I call a cutover....land that timber has been cut

That's one reason I want to keep some of the debris out there. I want to keep the deer coming in.

I haven't walked mine entirely, but it does seem like they done a pretty good job cleaning up afterwards. I figure I have years to clean it up the way I want it.

Well....that kind of makes me think a little differently about this :) . What would you advice to do with all the slash piles? I'm guessing there is probably 20 of them spred through the property. i want to clean the land up some, but also want to keep the deer coming in ,and try and not damage...

Nice setup!

Instead of burning all the piles where they were left when they cut the land, I decided to find one spot and burn it all there. Which grapple (Root or Rake/Clamshell) would work best to pick up the left over timber? I haven't walked the entire land (48 acres), but doesn't seem like there is a...

Great questions. They are loblolly pines were just planted in Jan 2021. The main purpose was just to basically make it look "pretty". Although, I actually had the same thought you mentioned earlier today. When it comes to wildlife, If I do cut down a lot of that sage and brush, the deer may not...

I haven't stepped it off, but I'd say the yare a good 8-10 ft apart

Not bad...I think it would be very feasible for my land to be cleaned up within that time frame.

Man, that looks amazing afterwards!!!! I'd love to own some land like that. How much did you charge him? I know, my land has very little on it like that to cut.

THat's why I'm thinking I could probably do it, if I could rent a skid steer with a mulching attachment.

That was my guess...around 1k an acre. I will have to check once I get to tha tpoint. Hoping it will be much les since mine is mostly just sage, thorns, and some stumps.

Any idea what they usually charge per acre?

That's something to keep in mind. I haven't walked it all, but what I have so far, it was in pretty good shape. My original plan was to go super slow and bush hog all that I can. I'm thinking a skid steer with mulching attachment may be better.

I'd have to rent the skid steer and mulching attachment. That seems to be the best way to go.

I’m thinking a skid steer with a mulching attachment would knock it out pretty well. I can touch it up with my bush hog afterwards….I think.

Looking for some advice on cleaning up some clear cut we’re buying. It’s been re-planted in pines (in rows). I’m wanting to cut between the rows and clean it up. There are some stumps from where it was cut 3 years ago along with some sage and thorn bushes. What would you recommend to use to...

I think if I go with Kubota I知 going with the MX5200DT. I like the fact it is heavier and stronger rear end than the L4701. I would use it for cutting, driveway work, and potentially moving round bales.

Anyone have an idea what a Workmaster 50, 6 brush hog, 6 box blade, and trailer runs? Drove one today and it was pretty sweet.

Potentially looking at the 2545 now. Would love to know what you all think of yours and problems you閾ｴe had. I will be using mine mostly for cutting grass, moving some dirt and working on my driveway. Eventually, will probably get some livestock on my 26 acres.... It has a couple moderate hills...

I've been doing a lot of reading and watching videos lately. I am between a Mahindra 4540 or a Kubota MX5200 or L4701DT. My land as you can see from the aerial pic is about 95% pasture land. I have a couple of hills that I bush hog, the one pic gives you a general idea of one of the hills (the...

I遏･ a city boy who has realized owning your own land is the only way to live! Although, I must say I have realized there is a lot more work to keeping your land looking good than I realized. That逞ｴ the ill informed City boy 😁 being educated. Even with the work, I have no desire, to ever live in...
