Realistically how much STX brush can a Cat D4C dozer clear in about 4-5 hours? My brother is wanting to make a new sendero and with travel time the operator will only have around 4-5 hours to work in 1 day. He’s wanting it to be 100 yards long and about 10 yards wide. And if time is left on the clock maybe clean up some fence line as well.

2. Depends on size of the brush but I would thing he could knock out 20yds x 100yds in a couple hours if he is just shoving the brush back. If he is wanting brush piled or much dress up done he will run short on time.

I think the plan is to push the brush back. A new sendero needs to be made but the LO won’t allow a controlled fire to burn the piles. If there’s time left we are hoping the operator can clear the existing road a bit. How do y’all leave your fence lines? Do you clear them to the fence or leave a little bit of brush on there for coverage?Last edited by STX_Shooter; 01-28-2020, 07:01 AM.

But that can be subjective, the mulching of roads might open the ground for new forbs
