[QUOTE="BeefmasterB, post: 621415, member: 8931"] Unless you have a long term use for it, I would rent. I had the CAT people deliver a D6 LGP with a 6-way blade, last year, for 40 hours of use. Cost about $2000 plus fuel. Built a pond and and knocked down trees ( Huge Elms, lots of Pecan and a lot of Bodark). All the trees went down easy except for the Elm. Had to tilt the blade and cut some of the base roots first on them. Once the trees were down, it was a simple matter of pushing them into large piles. The D6 was incredibly easy to operate. I had no previous experience with dozers before. Be careful though, the ease of operation is so easy, you can pretty much get to feeling like Superman and get into trouble real quick. Bees live in trees and they don't like it when there house is going down! When moving large downed trees, those branches seem to want to be in your lap and face when pushed. Any bulldozer CAN get stuck in a situation it can't get out of. After getting the root ball out, you will be left with one big crater. How are you going to fill it in? YES to rippers!!!!!!! A [u]must[/u] for neat clearing. [/QUOTE]
