Got good friend that has plenty of big equipment, does road construction . Actually lives in lower anderson and his shop is down that way
Keep in mind most all of them are going to charge you from time the leave till the get back, those suckers eat money
Not sure what you looking at but like others said sometimes a track hoe is better
Just had some stuff done yesterday by friend of mine with his skid steer at the farm. It was mostly small stuff but he could pull up trees about 4-6” in diameter ok , just dug roots up and pulled them up
It will cost $4800 a month for a 320 excavator with manual thumb,if available. 60k machine
$3200 a month for a 308 excavator with hydraulic thumb. 20k machine
It will cost about the same to rent a week or a month.
You can do a ass of work if your operator skill are average.
It will cost you $300 delivery and pickup.
PRO -TIP : Digging up stump is the easy part. Getting roots up and separated from dirt is the most time consuming, when you think you got them all dig some more.

If I was popping stumps I’d use a 336 size backhoe.
If you need to rent a machine, holler at Davis Lee at United Rentals.

I’m usually up for a DIY but not on this one. Thanks for the suggestions but I have a guy who’s quoting me something that seems reasonable. This thread just confirmed the quote was reasonable. I don’t have the time or the know how. It’s not rocket science but it’s not as simple as plowing or bushhogging either. If I had the time I might would give it a shot.
1200 a day for dozer work
How would he get the stumps up with a mulcher?
"And ignoring people on here....that's like being home schooled. Just say you're not ready to face life." Highstrung
The mulcher grinded the stumps to ground level. We added some potassium nitrate to them and the next year the disc broke the stumps up. The first year was a little bumpy but we did not break any disc.
If building a structure I would remove all the roots but not for a food plot. On leased timber land we went the cheapest root we could find.
ha. this hits close to home....
going from a pine stand to a field is not a simple task. its more than pulling stumps and it aint cheap.
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
