I am by no means an ex-spurt but the farmer that I bought my JD350 Crawler loader from
owned two 350's, both with loaders and one with a backhoe. He also owned a D7 Cat with
a tree pusher. He used all three pieces of equipment to clear 500 acres of timber in the
vicinity of Truman/Lake of the Ozarks. I don't know if this will help but good luck on
your endeavors.
