FWIW, I am in louisiana. I will not be building on the land, my house is connected to it.
Im using our Yanmar 336d, the disc is a small, 5ft unit, but a heavy one, it was able to cut very good last year. Box blade is a standard 5ft unit.
I had a few issues with pocket Gophers last year, but I was able to trap them out real easy. It did have a ton of old roots, I was able to get a few truck loads out. Also, there was some old concrete there, and an old gas line. Before I got the land, timber was there. It was cleared out, and all the stumps removed, but the skidders and dozers made the land VERY rough. I was able to get it more than smooth enough for a ZTR to hit. There are just a few spots that are still not to my favor. Also, the land dips down towards the rear, and over the years, some of the topsoil has washed off. I need to replace that. I would have done it all last year, but my wife, and little girl were put in the hospital at about this time, and I didnt get to finish it.
Also, the term "Golf course smooth" is apparently a touchy term.
What I ment, was relatively smooth. Our little girls ride thier bikes there, play ball, ect. Also, my wife jogs around it.
So, smooth enough for that.
