Excellent advice. I used most of them when hand-clearing my pasture. It was an abandoned property for 15+ years, so similar to what you just posted. Thanks for sharing!
Good morning, Brad! All ten are great lessons learned and shared. Despite the hiccups, the property turned out beautiful. Nice job!

I can totally relate, Randy of Dulin Cut & Trim and I cleared a 6 acre lot with just two walk behind brush cutters. We hit or ran over bricks, blocks, chunks of concrete, fence posts, stumps, logs and even car parts. The mower blades definitely took a beating after 2 days in tall brush up to 8 feet high. Randy was the point man with deer jumping out in front of him while mowing. I filmed the experience and posted it on my channel.
Great job sir. Keep up the great work!
Good job & thanks for videotaping it. 👍👍😊
Thanks for the great help many things I never thought about
Thanks Brad…great info!
Great tips. Great job.
Thank you for the insite
you cleared yours and the front acre of the 10 acres i have that isn't big woods i am planting in native trees and plants, some of the same stuff you cleared, returning it to nature, i even have a wildflower meadow.
Interesting
Do you sharpen your blades yourself or send them out to be sharpened?
Bro, you need some steel toe boots, a 4lb sledge and an ice cold 6 pak
Next time use drone footage to examine the property. You still wouldn’t have seen the pole, but might have seen the dirt pile.

That’s a lot of land.
With all due respect, why clear it? Maybe letting nature take over is beneficial in some cases, especially those in which humans are not involved
