On that mountain I could get 2 acres per day on average, but put 10 hours a day on it to get it.

I would not want to go any smaller as it struggled with some stumps, but it was $6500 a month (160 hours/28 days). I rented a Hitachi 160 excavator (34,000 pound class) a few years ago for an 18 acre land clearing job on a mountainside, and it did okay.

One major thing goes wrong and you are deep underwater, plus the lost time and productivity while you fix it. It was a great machine and he got lucky, but it was such a gamble.

I worked for a guy that had an old Cat with a stumping blade. I'd go that route if your time is not the limiting factor.

You can rent a good size, brand new excavator for around $3k/wk (maybe even less if you do a 3 month rental), and you can do maybe 5-ish acres in a week if you work at it full time. Here is 30 acres of the 70 I need to clear. What is the probability of that? Am I right that these old bulldozers are pretty bulletproof once you get new tracks on them? That is banking on the rest of the tractor holding together. But then I would end up with a tractor that could push stumps well enough a lot cheaper than other way. My thoughts were, it would be a lot cheaper to buy one like that knowing full well I would have to entirely do the tracks. I know of a few that are kicking around.and have been kicking around for years and years.think Pony-Motor Era Years here, and I can buy them for scrap metal prices. Renting wise, I am looking at a cost of around $30,000.Ī friend of mine said just buy a cheap older bulldozer, like D-8 size and go to town. But it was not 70 acres of land to clear. That worked well, as long as the weather worked in my favor and I could get the time on the equipment. I have cleared a lot of land here, on my own farm and for other people, but have always rented the equipment. I know weight and horsepower right? But how? I got quite a bit of land to clear of stumps and was trying to think of the best way to do it.
