[QUOTE="Earl Thigpen, post: 444993, member: 3999"] Gert, Don't have any idea what tractor time goes for in S.C. but in my part of Texas you can hire a D8 dozer with root rake and operator for about $80/hour. I know because I just did this last year. Run the root rake in one direction and then at 90°. This will break most of the roots off below the surface. Have the operator pile them up and you burn them. Pull a harrow over the ground with your tractor until you get it smooth. Broadcast your grass seed, pull your harrow over again and pray for rain. Can't see why this should cost you more than $100/acre out of pocket. [/QUOTE]
