Matt, I agree with Allan here. If you are in Brush Country ie...South Texas. The Dozer opperators have Root plows, on the rear oof their machines and Brush Rakes for the front, so the soil will silt on through and keep the bigger stuff, to pile up.
Check into it!! A good operator will run you about $100/hour on run time. If you get him to just Rootplow he ought to be able to do more than 5 acres/hour depending on density of trees and trash. If you let him pile it up too I will bet a "Big Red" sodawater he will ave 3acres/hour + - alittle. So that should put you in the $35/acre range!!! And that is CHEAP.
After that then start plowing and get the soil in shape for whatever you have in mind. Hope this helps.
Later,
John A.
