We don't do bush hogging either Thats a whole different ballgame. Not too much into irragation either. But thanks anyways. We do work mainly in Hardee, Highlands, Southern Polk county. Its good to hear about someone close by.

How about renting a tractor and brush hog in my area you can rent for the day for about $150-200 just charge him for rental and your profit<p>----------<br>paul<br>

[cjcland]

i thought about that but its only 2 acres by the time i put my 30 an hour in and the rental they would probly laugh at the price i guess all i could do is try it

[southside]

CJC, Iwould suggest looking in the yellow <br>pages in your area under bush hogging or<br>land clearing/firebreak contractors.Dont<br>bother hiring a machine or trying to put<br>your mower through overgrown land.Either way<br>it would cost you heaps.Using a tractor/slasher is real different from using<br>mowers,especially on steep ground.Lot of<br>guys get killed over here on tractor/slashers.You don't want to end <br>up playing cards with Elvis! :)
