Buying land is like investing money in the bank. If you get a good deal on a parcel of land, you may have gotten that deal because you are taking responsibility for clearing it. While this is a very big job, it can be done with the right tools, machines, and enough people to help you.
The first thing you will need to do is have a plan. You can not expect to get the job done quickly if you go from area to another doing this little bit or that little bit. You are going to need a tractor to help you as well. You can hire someone to run it or if you know how, you can rent one to use yourself.
Walk around the land for a bit to decide what trees you wan to cut down and to decide which trees you may want to keep. Mark the ones you plan to cut down first. You can do this part of the job easily enough with a homelite chainsaw. Make sure that you have some help when you are in the process of cutting trees. This is a job that needs to be done safely and never done while alone in the woods.
When you ask your friends and family to help you clear your land, ask if they have a husqvarna chainsaw or any other kinds of machinery that could be helpful. You might end being surprised at just how much everyone can get together to help you.
Some bigger machines would mean that you would also need to hire someone that is able to operate them by law. One such machine is called a forestry mower. It is very large and can clear and mulch everything that basically gets in its way. For this kind of machine, you would need a sizable sum of money to hire it.
One way to get the whole family involved in clearing off the land for a new house is to have a picnic lunch together during break time. You could bring fried chicken in a bucket or you could bring a dish that you have been simmering in your zojirushi rice cooker. Your family could have a nice time talking about the cool things that will be in the yard around them when the land is cleared.
Before the time that tractors were available and chainsaws were yet to be invented, working the land that you and your family would live on was a part of building a home. These days, it is rare that a family can work together on their land in turning it from a wooded area into a yard.
