Dixieland, There are already different machines that do just what you are talking about. And from your descripition the problem to how to get rid of the exisiting trees and brush so it can be handled with a minium amt of work. I do not mean to be cute here but .... 1st... A D6 Cat at $100/ hour will do more in one hour in gettin a fence line open than a small mower,ax,chainsaw, weedeter, etc. Yes, you need to burn the piles the spread out the ash piles. 2nd... A Hydro-Ax or Seppi-unit. These machines can waltz through dense, heavy brush, darn large trees and leave the top soil undesturbed with a park like finish. The Electric Coop here uses a Sepi-unit to keep the highline right-of-way clear. everything is ground up into a mulch. They run about 250/hr. After these machines go through anyone can maintain with a tractor and shredder, and chemical spray if you want. I find most people won't make a wide enough R.O.W. for a fence. Thus it is hard to keep undergrowth down and the fence then becomes overgrown. We make ours at least 45 feet wide. We will only leave the old, extremely large, oaks, Elms that would take 2 men to reach around, everything else goes. Anyway you asked...If I missed your point then... get-after-it! Later, John A.
