[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1453726, member: 5381"] Well I understand completely since I'm in the same boat of doing things myself where possible, so lets move on from that. I also agree with some of the others in the thinking that grubbing is not the way to go but if you are working on an equip program, you probably don't have a choice. One thing they do quite a bit around my area is to aerial spray the pasture to get a kill on most of the mesquites, wait about a year and then bulldoze the dead trees. This is a lot less damaging to the soil and the grass will start its comeback among the skeletons when the shade is gone. To make it really worth it, you need to come in a couple months after the aerial spray and get the ones that were missed or not completely dead. This would not help if you are trying to keep some of the bigger trees. I have seen grubbing work really well and I have seen it only make things worse. Soil conditions matter a lot. Some soil just does not grub very well. [/QUOTE]
