The owner uses a bucket with a tooth bar and box blade to push over small trees and stumps, showing honestly what a 25hp compact tractor can and can't do against large rocks, hardwood root balls, and hills. Useful for owners weighing realistic expectations for clearing trails or small lots themselves.
An owner-operator documenting hands-on work on their own property, with a part two follow-up planned.
It struggles with large rocks that don't move and hardwood trees with deep roots. Anything over 4-5 inches gets cut with a chainsaw instead of pushed over.
A bucket with a Piranha tooth bar for grabbing trees and rocks, plus a box blade on the back to keep the tractor short for tight spots.
Downhill is much easier. The tractor struggled going up the hill but had an easier time once it crested and started heading downhill.
In about 45 minutes of tractor time, the owner cleared roughly 80 to 90 yards of new trail, not full land clearing.
