[QUOTE="tom4018, post: 1260067, member: 55"] We did about 5 acres a few years back. It had some decent timber on it, cut everything that was worth anything. Hired a guy with a D9 for a really cheap rate ($130 an hour), he pushed all the stumps out and piled everything. Overall not bad, got a couple dozer piles left. Ran a bog over the ground a couple times, put a little winter wheat on it the first year just for a cover crop. When it came time to feed hay I just kept feeding all over it. Fed on half of it pretty heavy then the next fall ran a bog over it again and got it in fair shape to seed. Put a temporary fence around it, then did the same to the other half the next fall. It has turned out fair, not the smoothest ground but none of mine is. I have gotten a decent stand of grass with good clover on it. Overall I think I had it figured up to be about a $1,000 and acre to clear plus me bogging, picking up small stuff, running a disc over it and seeding it. [/QUOTE]
