Any other way than using a good Heavy-Duty Bush Hog would take you for ever.. You have 2 tractors..use one on the Bush-Hog and the other with a chain, pulling the largest trees out.. Saplings like2" or less, it don't even notice.. 3" Diameter and you had better NOT have anyone around within 50 to 75 Yards..it will throw 3' pieces that far.. I cleared a lot a couple years ago..used my JD 520 and 6' Bush-Hog... The saplings were more than 4 feet above the top of my exhaust and I could see NOTHING ahead.!! Not knowing the size or shape of the "clearing" and if there were any stumps was tough.. The rear axle-housing will tip the saplings over and the Bush-Hog will sound like a real Bad Boy, behind you.! Be SURE to have the front of the Bush-Hog at least 3" to 4" Lower than the rear, so it can pitch the pieces out.. I have done the same thing with our JD "B" in similar stuff.. I use 1st Gear, for safety, if I cannot see ahead..!! Once you make the 1st round, it is not as bad.. I prefer to run clock-wise around a Land, so the Left wheel is running on already cut.. the blades rotate retreating on the Rt side and attacking on the Left side..so, the Left side gets the cleanest cut..I always over-lap about one Foot, if I am clipping pasture, for a good clean job.. It is advisable to use Dull blades, to shatter the stems and not leave sharp ends..

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
