"What input do you have as far as working these burn piles with my tractor?"

I agree with your plan on 8 small burn piles.

If feasible/possible, let the burn pile "cure out" over the summer.

Since you are surrounding by pine trees, as we are on our farm, burn only one pile at a time after a good rain.

The small trees that you described below (4" diameter) should be easy to handle by hand once they are burned.

Once the fire burns down, throw remaining small pieces in the fire.

Approximately 24 hours after all pieces have burned down to coals, then rake out the coals with a steel garden rake.

Once all the coals are burned out, then use the box blade on your tractor to "smooth" the ground.

There is really no need to expose your tractor, especially if it is a gas tractor, to a fire based on the size of the wood that is being burned.

Hope this helps.
