Vermont plan for clearing ~15,000–20,000 sf (≈0.35–0.46 acres) of wooded land for multiple
lots [200 lots total, probably 7-10 at a time per year] for a ~3,000 sf single-family homes.
Scope at a glance
• Tasks: access & laydown clearing, fell trees, de-limb & buck, brush handling/chipping,
stump removal (“grubbing”), topsoil strip/stockpile, rough grade, haul-off or on-site
processing, basic compaction, temporary erosion controls.
• Typical crew approach: 1 large excavator (with thumb) as primary, plus either a dozer or
a skid steer/CTL and (optionally) a forestry mulcher for speed on underbrush.
Core equipment (standard “cut & grub” approach)
• 20–25 ton excavator with hydraulic thumb; optional root rake or rake bucket
Primary tree/stump remover, piles sorting, loading trucks.
• Mid dozer (e.g., CAT D4/D5) or CTL/skid steer (high-flow) with bucket & grapple
Windrowing, pushing slash, rough grading, site cleanup.
• 12–15" towable chipper
• Vibratory roller (7–10 ton) or plate compactor
Potential add-ons (site/rock dependent)
• Hydraulic hammer (breaker) for excavator – some ledge in limited instances
• Forestry mulcher head (on CTL) or dedicated mulcher
• Stump grinder – what is best equipment for this?
