I"m no fan of messing around clearing trees with a wheel tractor. A small cat will do the job fasster, better, and more iportantly,safer.
If you are going to do it with a tractor, I"d consider pulling the trees over with a long choker cable attached to the drawbar and attached to the tree as high as you can get. You might consider using a snatch block anchored low on a big tree, also. You"ll get the tree, roots and all. A small cat with clearing forks makes short work of brush, but you may have to pull that with a choker also Soil type and conditions are really important. You want some moisture so the tree roots come out easier but not so much that you have poor traction. Pile the trees and brush for burning and wait til they dry down before you light them off. While you"re waiting for them to dry, spray the ground with whatever you will use to kill what ever is there. Then plow that down. Depending on the seed load, you may have to spray again in the spring before you plant if that"s what your time line is. If you want to fall plant then a single spraying might worrk,again depending on the seed load and type of weeds. (Fall germinating weeds might require additional spraying.)

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
