Size of the trees would determine what to use. As the others stated, the ones around here don't come back if you trim below the lowest branch. But, new ones sprout up everywhere (not related to the cut one). I've got 170 acres fairly thick with them now, plus a ~couple miles of fence they've grown into (like a wall of trees in the fence), plus a couple other spots with them on. I didn't have that many in my south 320, 1000+ guessing, all smaller because I hay it most years, but years I don't I end up with trees I have to mow around. I went out with a DR string trimmer with a Beaver blade, impressed with that setup for smaller trees (can do a bit more than up to 3", at ground level, but dulls very quickly, considering getting a carbide chain), handier than loppers, got most of them. The 170, about 18 years ago I went out there with an axe, loppers, chainsaw, made a dent in them, but can't tell that now. Shortly after hired a guy, paid him $1000, also made a dent, I'd guess he got 20 acres of thick trees.
Around here, tree shear is the most common tool, they can get very large trees and work well, like scissors. I'm probably buying one, would pay for itself while I use it to catch up, then I could sell it. Haven't researched enough to see what type, I see the other ones that are more saw like. Some guys have tried atv mounted shears, with mixed results. Neighbor cracked a Suzuki frame with one of those. Clearing them is just another project I don't get around to doing.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
