You may want to ask over on the ACME and ACMOC boards, see if anyone can post photos from old literature and of land clearing jobs, seems the Rome Plow company, Fleco, LeTourneau, and other companies who built track type tractor attachments specifically for land clearing, may have produced a tree pusher, but after looking through the Rome and Fleco websites, nothing turned up, also checked on e-bay for old literature, can't say whether these were commercially built for sale or were designed and built just by contractors, for use by same, I've seen numerous photos of them posted over the years.
Someone on those other boards, particularly from Australia, may be able to be helpful here, as years back, land clearing and tree pushing was a popular method of clearing and tree pusher attachments seemed to have been popular.
The rome K/G type blade or whatever it was called then, was used by the 168th engineers battalion in vietnam, another attachment built for clearing.
I would imagine that after seeing some photos of the tree pushers used, like in Australia, it might be helpful in replicating a design that will stand up to the task, grade of steel, material selection, along with reinforcing needed to stiffen the attachment is probably the key to succeeding here.
