Any tips on equipment to start clearing this overgrown hayfield and restore it to its former glory? Based on Google Earth, maintenance stopped around 2005 and it slowly became more and more overgrown. Brush hog? It’s mainly thorn bushes but probably some invasive bittersweet too. Some of the brush is wrapped around dead tree trunks.
There are lots of 1-2” thick saplings that I’d like to remove. Navigating around the larger trees that are still in the field area will be a challenge – see the last photo. I’m not against cutting them down first but would like to use them for firewood then and the brush may be annoying.
Already have access to an old tractor and brush hog but ok with renting equipment.
There’s currently an old stone wall between a cleared field and this but I can create an opening.
