Efficient firelane and stump removal?? #3299653

What is the most efficient way to build fire lanes and pop stumps for new plots in a fresh clear cut. The logging crew used a 550 dozer to build landings, but I have about 9/10's of a mile of lane I want to put in and one more long linear plot. I don't want a trash job but it doesn't have to grade, I can do that with my tractor. Should I look for a track hoe operator or big dozer?

Depending on the size of the stumps and if pine/hardwood, a trackhoe may be more efficient at removing the stumps. Really think you'll need both.


"Cull" is just another four letter word...

Depending on stump size, stump type, and soil type a big (120+hp) dozer might could do the job for you. But it sounds like you may need trackhoe and dozer.

If you want to pick stumps a trackhoe with a thumb is the way to do it most efficiently. If you have the rest of it pretty well cleaned up you might be able to do the rest with the tractor if you have a real tractor.


No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

I’d shove with a dozer but you could also get a forestry mulcher to do it quickly but you will have to disk over the stumps and they will eventually rot

We had some areas cleared of pine stumps. The guy used a track hoe and made quick work of them. Used the bulldozer to grade it out.

Forestry mulcher and a sub soiler will have it row crop ready and no stumps or clean up to do.

SS, we had to have a trackhoe remove our stumps. We had two big dozers try and they wouldn’t budge our stumps. Stumps were the same size as yours I would assume. Dozer will do a great job at the firelane but It’ll need help with stumps as big as what you have.

I’d skip the huge burn piles and push off to side. With that many stumps it would be a big pain to burn completely.

You don’t burn the stumps. You bury them anyway if done right
