Hey everyone,
I have searched through the forum and found some good tips, but I'd like more information. I've never ran a dozer before, but I'm ready to learn. I just bought about 25 acres of heavily wooded land that we want cleared and I don't really want to pay someone else to do it, I'd like to buy the equipment and do it myself and then sell the stuff. I did have a driveway cleared and a housepad cleared to build our home and that alone was $10K, I can't imagine how much someone would charge to clear the entire plot.
Anyways.... I'm looking at used dozers and I'm trying to stay at $25K or less. My main thing is that I'm not sure what features I need to look for, how old is too old, how many HP and size of dozer, etc.. Again, this will be used mostly for pushing timber, the trees go in size from small to big (60 feet tall). Also, I saw some people on some previous threads say that an excavator was a better option than a dozer, I'd like to get your input on that as well.
Thanks for the help.
