[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1259843, member: 12607"] Have no idea, at this point, what it cost me. Had about a 15-acre plot of 35-40 yr old planted pines and mixed hardwood that were decimated by an ice storm in '94. Had it clearcut, and hired a local guy, husband of one of my coworkers to clear it. He'd initially given me an estimate of $2500... but presented me with a bill for $8500 when he was done. I paid it, but he'll never work for me again, and I'll never recommend him to anyone. Wouldn't p*** down his throat if his guts were on fire. Dozer piles were so full of dirt that I ended up having to hire someone else, a few years down the road to tear 'em up, repile 'em so they'd burn, and respread the dirt. It's still pretty rough ground, as stump holes have continued to sink over the years... but it's pasture, not a hayfield. Would I do it again? Probably. But, in hindsight, I'd do it differently.
