[QUOTE="Bama, post: 88932, member: 1184"] This was kinda one of those things where you know better but do it anyway. I should have sprayed it first to kill it before I cut it. I was trying to cut corners, wound up costing me more in the longrun due to one of those punctures being a dreaded back tire. Back to the origional post. I just realized i may have not explained myself well enough. When I mentioned using a dozer I was refering to a dozer pulling a bush & bog. It's kinda like a harrrow. Its a really heavy built disc. Its made out of cast iron and is very heavy. It has to be pulled with a really big tractor or dozer. The dozer is the best method I have saw. There are several pastures around here that was put in a program that you have to let the land lay by for 3 years. You can bushhog one ever three years. The only problem is some folks let their go a little longer. Then a bushhog wont get it without destroying something. The dozer can push over anything that gets up to the 4 or 5 inch range. Most stuff will be at or below 2". The bush and bog will get it out of the ground and does a pretty good job of tearing it up. Thats where it helps to kill it before running this over it.
