I think what you want for that work is a 4-6 class machine with a root rake. I've got a 4 hightrack and a 6 way blade that has cleared a lot of land. 8" stuff is about all you want to push over with it if you want any measure of control. It can knock bigger stuff over, but a large hardwood can get kinda hairy with that machine if it doesn't want ot go over on the first push and you've got to get under it more..... Sometimes they don't want to wait for you to get that second lift... and they come back to the cab for a visit... I wouldn't even consider a skid steer for the clearing aspect of what you want to do. I'd go with the dozer or an excavator for now and then buy the skid steer later on if I needed that. Keep in mind that the 4H that I have is a 12 tonne/90 hp machine machine and that's about the bottom end for productive land clearing. A 6 or 7 is about the top end because big machines lose a lot of dexterity... and that's more useful than brute power when you're clearing land. You only need enough machine to push your biggest stump out. After that you're losing ground. The 4H is just about the right size for what you want to do... Case 1150 is also in around that area as would the Deere 550 and I believe the Komatsu D65. The Cat's in that class are probably better machines than the Case (I think), but the Case does have split drives to the tracks so you have tremendous manuverability with that machine that the Cat doesn't have with it's ancient clutch and brake steering. If you can afford it, a newer hydrostatic machine would be the way to go...

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown Tractors - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
