[QUOTE="lovehammer, post: 1453716, member: 20753"] I'm surprised you have mesquites and not cedars in Fredricksburg. If the mesquites are only 5" in diameter max, I would use a skidsteer and a shear. Like Brute said, pluck the ones you can so the taproot doesn't stay in the ground. I rented a skidsteer and did a bunch of land myself. I later found a guy hiring himself out with a helper for basically what I paid for the rental. He cost $10 more an hour than I paid for the rental. He could cover ground a heckuva lot faster than I could and ended up being much cheaper. I did rent a dozer for larger hackberry (2-3 ft diameter) and other junk trees that some fool let grow in a fence line. The weed seed bank in the soil was disturbed and I got a great crop of wooly croton and sand burs where the dozer tore up the ground. [/QUOTE]
