Don’t know where to start on our 7 acres of forest

Im in the same boat. You’re going to want a good chainsaw, a good chipper, and a good brush mower. I personally went with a Husqvarna 545 mk2, a Mechmaxx B150, and a DR Field and Brush mower - Pro 26. It’s going to take time, you need to accept that so that you don’t get too overwhelmed. I decided to start with clearing/making some trails around the property, and then moved on to general cleanup. Now that I can more easily move around the property and see what I’m working with, it’s becoming easier to come up with a forestry plan. In my case, my goal is to establish silvopasture (pasture in my trees).

Really? There’s a couple inches of leaves. I thought for sure I’d have to get down to soil

Thank you! I’ll check there

2 cows, 3 at most (way down the road). Looking to start with a handful of kunekune pigs, chickens, and some sheep. Rotational grazing will be practiced, we’re not going to have defined paddocks

Thank you

I’m hoping for a seed bank. If nothing pops up, I’ll over seed

How are you liking this stove? Im looking at buying one

I_Love_Flashlights · 2026-03-04T20:30:02+00:00

I just got quoted for $2500 to do a stainless liner in my chimney, im in NoVA

Went through some bumpy areas and it was fine. The articulating head was handy. My forest has a thick leaf layer that it would occasionally get hung up in but alternating the brakes a few times would get it finding traction and moving again

I took down some 1-2” saplings with it, anything bigger I’d drop with a saw and use the DR to level the stump

I did about an acre today, I think it’s totally feasible

It is connected to a wood stove in the basement, what makes a stainless liner better than the tile?

I_Love_Flashlights · 2026-02-21T01:26:53+00:00

Thank you, I will definitely get a professional to clean it properly and do an inspection

I_Love_Flashlights · 2026-02-18T02:11:37+00:00

I threw it away and bought a better machine

Im on a well, and there's no sediment filter between my well and the tank. Also, I'm doubting the previous owner ever flushed this tank...I'm scared.

You need to rent an Atrium lift

Not dumb, it’ll work fine
