price per acre?

[woody3]

12 acre site heavily overgrown, not been touched in 6 years was lawn

 

any idea on price? also starting in January is this a problem?

 

i am guessing a brushcutter, then rake and then mower? time it will take?

12 acres with a brushcutter!!! Forget it.

 

Whereabouts are you based?

 

This is the sort of setup you want to looking at:

A good flail behind a tractor, if only 6 years growth over 12 acres.

Especially IF IT was Lawn before.

its a former campsite in the southwest, tractor would be no good as many hidden concrete posts, it was lawn before and is around 3 foot high at the moment

Difflock is correct - unfortunately you need to blade across it using a 7.5/8 tonne 360, Wheel digger or similar, with the front blade skimming the ground to find all the conc. posts. Will take a while though. Dig them out as you go, then get the flail on Tractor into play. Discuss with Client as surely they wish for post removal anyway and a bit of grading as is normal on these derelict sites.

"Oh sorry sir i forgot about them, and btw, how much will that new tyre cost for your Fendt 930?":lol:

Graze with Cattle, sheep or outdoor pigs would expose the posts.

its going to be a holiday park again from next may, heavy machinery or animal will cut the ground up won't they?

Skid Steer with a closed deck brushcutter (and it sliding on the ground) should give you protection from concrete posts.

Graze with as many sheep as possible as soon as possible and then take them off before Xmas. They will not cut the ground up much unless it is very heavy ground and it becomes very wet. If it is free draining ground they could stay there till spring. There are usually farmers willing to pay a little per head per week and they will have all the electric fencing etc. It will make it much easier to see what it there and once the concrete if taken out you can reseed in April. Then mow. Simples
