After looking for rental equipment, comparing the price of that and hiring someone to do the job, I decided to hire someone to do it. The man cleared 75-80% of the property on Saturday before the machine broke. So he owes me another hour and I added some extra trees in which will be an additional hour of work.

This machine pushes down trees, bushes, weeds, shrubs, everything except the 3 piece set of living room furniture someone has been using in the thickest part of the woods on the back. The gadget will take in most small trees, chip the wood and throw it back out as mulch. It also has a rake attachment which he'll use to smooth the ground on the "driveway" that they will use when pulling in the mobile home.

In this picture there is a large clearing just beyond this bunch of pines. That's where we will put the mobile home.

Clay took down a gazillion Black Jack Oaks, some laurel oaks, and a lot of what the locals call rosemary bushes. These are not to be confused with the herb we all know and love. These bushes can grow to 7 feet tall and just as wide.

I am told these are very desirable pines, Long Leaf. I wanted to keep as many of these as possible for privacy screening from the road. I also hope to use the needles as mulch in my flower beds.
