will a small backhoe/dozer level trees up to 8 inches around?
I can rent a small/medium sized excavator. not a mini, but not a huge one….
will use it mostly to dig out stumps and move some boulders, but do you know if its capable ot pushing over pines and birches up to 6 to 8 inches in diameter? Id love to just level clear an acre or so…..
Thoughts?
sorry, typos. *Do you think it’s capable OF
Got an 18in .chain saw…. will chop up the trees with it, but need a quicker way to fell many trees….
Im in MA on the NH border… very rocky, sandy soil. Mostly pine groves, a few hardwoods.

If your aim is to clear an acre, you should invest in a good chainsaw,preferably 18-20 inch bar.Once you have downed the trees, rent a stump grinder for a week (or more) and remove the stumps. Then rent the backhoe for the boulders. A backhoe is not the ideal choice for “all” of these assorted tasks.If you have never downed trees before, I would have some one along in case of an accident and to assist in lining up where you need to cut the tree to have it fall where you want it. Suggestions: to have a tree fall in the correct direction, take a walk around it to see which way it leans (if at all) and if there is anything in it’s falling path (vehicles, people, etc). The proper way to do this is to make your first cut on the front side, this will be a “V” cut (falling side) up to 1/2 to 3/4 of the diameter of the tree. Then on the opposite side cut straight through to about 1 or 2 inches of the the first cut and move directly back away from the tree as it falls.Wear eye. ear, hand protection.
You don’t say where you are or what kind of soil you are in, but you should be okay getting them out with that equipment. Most of the roots will be in the top couple of feet of soil and mostly within the dripline of the tree (some pines spread out a little wider, but not enough to make a huge difference).
I would start by ripping the roots and digging a hole on the side where you want the tree to fall, then moving to the opposite side and pushing the tree down with the arm.

Really?
I want to express thanks to you just for rescuing me from this crisis. After looking out through the internet and seeing strategies which were not beneficial, I assumed my life was well over. Living devoid of the solutions to the issues you’ve resolved through this short article is a serious case, and the ones that could have badly damaged my entire career if I hadn’t noticed the blog. Your main capability and kindness in touching all the stuff was useful. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a subject like this. I can also now look forward to my future. Thanks a lot so much for the high quality and result oriented guide. I will not think twice to endorse the sites to any individual who needs to have care about this subject.
