Post #1380084

I hope someone here might be able to help me out . I'm considering buying a lot that is just shy of 6 acres, densely wooded (few large pine trees & oaks, mostly native shrubs 2-3 inches in diameter, approx. 15 ft high). I would want to selectively clear it out (preserve most of the pines/oaks). I'm trying to figure out what it would take (as in type of equipment, price, skill level, etc.) to clear.

Is this something that could be cleared with a Bobcat (or would a dozer be required)? If a Bobcat would work, can it be rented/operated by me, a lay person...or should this be cleared by a professional? Any suggestions/past experiences/price info would be appreciated. thx
