Best way to clear unwanted trees from pasture

From August 15, 2019 before we started clearing the pasture.


From today, May 24, 2020.

Really looks different. I am trying to clear about 1/2 acre and you've made more progress than I have :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone! We still have plenty more tree cutting and burning to do, especially to the smaller pasture at the far left, but trees are removed from all the places we will build. We will build a new house with attached garage, a horse barn for my wife and girls, and, of course, a detached garage mahal for yours truly. It is time in the near future to start interviewing architects, contractors, etc. I have never built a new home before, which makes me a bit nervous, but once I jump in with both feet I'm sure it will be okay. How hard can it be? Famous last words, lol. Seriously, though, I have a couple of friends who recently completed new builds and are happy with the outcome.

This thread makes me think of the Palouse region in Eastern Washington. In the mid 1800's it was covered with big pine trees (probably 18" diameter average). 75 years later it was all open fields, and some of the most productive farmland in the world. How on earth did those guys do that back when mules and oxen were the main form of power on a farm?
