Message: [QUOTE="Patman, post: 187052, member: 16962"] Hard to beat a skid loader (aka Bobcat) for knocking down small trees and digging. Then again if your just looking to grade out some open area a tractor with a box blade on the back is pretty effective. Now if you want to do some SERIOUS tree removal and dirt reorginization a dozer is the answer. I'd say find the land first then decide what you want to do to it. Another option might be a land lease? Our club has a lease on a 1,000 acres where we have cut HS in the woods and setup a MX track and a 16 mile outer loop (GPish). Most of this was done with chainsaws, lopers, and a tractor (the MX track had some heavy equipment help). The land owner makes some money, we get a private place to ride without it costing a zillion dollars and everybody seems happy. I have a John Deere 4100 4WD with loader, brush hog and box blade that I use around our new place and will be using at the clubs lease and I am sure it will be more than enough for the job. Just noticed what you do. I'm SURE there is a dirt contractor you have worked with on a project that would be willing to help ya' out even for a small fee. Then ya' get a trained operator and the right equipment. (That's where our heavy equipment came from).:D [/QUOTE]
