Clearing Land Equipment: How Farmry Helps You Clear Land Faster, Safer, and Smarter
When you look across a new property for the first time, it can feel overwhelming. Thick vegetation, tall grass, small trees, old tree stumps, and other debris all stand between you and the pasture, garden, or construction site you imagine. That’s where the right clearing land equipment from Farmry comes in.
Instead of trying to rent land clearing equipment every time you have a new land clearing project, Farmry lets you build a dependable set of land clearing machines that work with the tractor or skid steer you already own. The result? You get the best equipment for your property, you control the schedule, and you dramatically speed up every land clearing job.
In this guide we’ll walk through:
-
The main types of land clearing and land clearing tasks
-
Which Farmry land clearing equipment fits each job
-
How to handle uneven terrain, steep slopes, and tight spaces
-
Safety, waste disposal, and long-term maintenance costs
All examples and recommendations below are Farmry only—no outside brands, no generic machinery.
Step One: Understand Your Land Clearing Project
Every land clearing project starts with an honest look at what you’re dealing with. Farmry customers typically face some combination of:
-
Overgrown grass and heavy vegetation in old fields
-
Clearing brush and small shrubs in fence lines or along driveways
-
Fallen trees, large rocks, and storm damage
-
Old tree stumps left after tree removal
-
Steep slopes and uneven ground where hand clearing and hand tools are risky
You also need to think about:
-
The wildlife habitats on your land and how gently you want to clear land
-
How close you’ll be working to buildings, power lines, and limited space areas
-
Whether your job site is a future construction site, a food plot, a yard, or a trail
Once you know the mix of clearing tasks, you can choose the right land clearing equipment from Farmry instead of guessing or renting larger equipment that doesn’t fit your real needs.
Why Farmry Instead of Renting Land Clearing Equipment?
Many owners start by trying to rent equipment for a weekend. That can work for a one-time land clearing job, but it has problems:
-
Rental heavy equipment is expensive and usually booked out during peak season.
-
You’re rushed; there’s no time to learn different land clearing techniques.
-
You often need additional equipment—a stump grinder, brush mowers, or a wood chipper—that isn’t available on the same days.
With Farmry, you invest once in heavy duty PTO and hydraulic attachments that are designed to handle repeated land clearing projects:
-
Built for compact tractors, skid steers, and skid steer loaders you already own.
-
Engineered for fuel efficiency so you’re not wasting diesel as you work.
-
Tough enough for heavy debris, large trees, and thick vegetation.
Instead of trying to match your schedule to a rental yard, you simply hook up your Farmry attachments whenever a new job site or overgrown areas appear.
Farmry Stump Grinders: Finish Tree Removal at Ground Level
Nothing slows a land clearing process like leftover stumps. Farmry’s stump grinder and stump grinders are built specifically to make stump grinding safe and efficient:
-
Carbide teeth chew through tree stumps at or below ground level, producing fine mulch.
-
Adjustable cutting depth lets you tackle small vegetation and big hardwoods with the same land clearing machine.
-
A heavy flywheel and robust guard structure manage safety risks when you’re close to fences or buildings.
Compared to manual clearing or trying to dig stumps out with a bucket, a Farmry stump grinder:
-
Reduces root balls without ripping up the whole yard.
-
Cuts maintenance costs because you don’t need a separate contractor.
-
Leaves a tidy pile of chips that’s easy to handle with a loader or wheel loaders on larger sites.
Whenever you’re clearing trees, Field rows, or windbreaks, a Farmry stump grinder is the equipment needed to truly finish the job.
Safety tip: Always wear safety goggles, hearing protection, gloves, and follow Farmry’s operating manual when using any stump grinding attachment.
Farmry Wood Chippers: Turn Heavy Debris into Useful Mulch
Once trees and brush are down, you still have to manage the mess. Open burning isn’t always legal or smart, and hauling loads to the dump raises waste management and fuel costs.
That’s why many landowners add a Farmry wood chipper to their clearing land equipment set:
-
PTO-powered chippers eat fallen trees, limbs, and other vegetation.
-
They create uniform chips for waste disposal, landscaping, or forest trails.
-
Paired with a front loader, you quickly move chips around the job site.
By integrating chipping into your land clearing techniques, you:
-
Reduce the volume of other debris on the ground.
-
Eliminate dangerous piles that attract pests.
-
Protect nearby wildlife habitats by leaving clean edges instead of slash.
Farmry chippers are tuned for small to mid-size tractors, so they’re ideal for homesteads, small farms, and light forestry operations.
Flail Mowers & Brush Mowers: Clearing Brush and Tall Grass
For overgrown grass, briars, and heavy vegetation up to small saplings, Farmry flail mowers act like a controllable forest mulching tool. They might not replace giant dedicated forestry mulchers, but they’re perfect for most property owners:
-
Heavy rotor with hammer knives shreds tall grass, small shrubs, and woody stems.
-
Handles uneven terrain and light rocky ground better than a simple bush hog.
-
Leaves a more even finish than many brush mowers, especially around homes and barns.
Farmry even offers a remote control mower for extreme steep slopes, ditches, and tight spaces where putting an operator on a tractor is too risky. This Land-clearing robot is ideal for limited space areas around ponds, retention basins, and highway edges.
With the right Farmry mower setup, you can:
-
Open up old pastures without relying on hand tools or manual clearing.
-
Maintain trails through forest mulching passes that create smooth, walkable paths.
-
Keep construction site edges trimmed so inspectors and trucks can move easily.
Backhoes, Box Scrapers, and More: Moving Dirt and Large Rocks
Once vegetation is gone, the land may still be uneven or littered with rocks. Farmry’s backhoe attachments, box scrapers, and grading scrapers are made for this phase of the land clearing process:
-
A Farmry backhoe acts like a compact backhoe loader for push dirt, trenching, and popping out large rocks.
-
Box scrapers and grading scrapers level ruts, fill holes, and reshape ground level for roads and pads.
While huge compact track loaders or larger equipment might be overkill for small acreage, a Farmry backhoe attached to your own tractor gives you the power of heavy machinery with far less expense.
Together with your mowers and chippers, these attachments turn Farmry into a complete clearing land equipment system, not just a single land clearing machine.
Working with Skid Steers and Compact Machines
Many property owners and contractors already own skid steers or skid steer loaders. Farmry offers attachments that integrate cleanly with these compact land clearing machines so you can:
-
Use tree shears or grapples on your skid steer to pull larger trees, haul logs, or stack brush.
-
Add brush heads or specialized mowers to handle heavy vegetation on uneven ground.
-
Turn steer loaders into nimble tools for tight spaces where tractors can’t fit.
Instead of shopping around for generic attachments, you keep your sourcing simple: choose Farmry for the tractor and for the skid-steer side of every land clearing job.
Safety and Good Practices When Clearing Land
Any time you use heavy equipment for land clearing, you face safety risks that hand clearing also carries—but the stakes are higher. Farmry builds safety into every attachment, but the operator still needs to:
-
Wear safety goggles, steel-toe boots, and hearing protection.
-
Walk the job site beforehand to check for hidden metal, fencing, or boulders.
-
Respect the limits of your tractor or skid steer—don’t overload the front end or side-hill on dangerous steep slopes.
-
Keep bystanders, pets, and livestock well away from the land clearing machines.
It’s also smart to plan your land clearing techniques around the seasons and local regulations. Protecting wildlife habitats may mean leaving buffer strips or timing work outside nesting season. A thoughtful plan lets you clear land while still respecting the ecosystem you live in.
Controlling Costs: Fuel Efficiency, Maintenance, and Ownership
One of the biggest questions customers ask Farmry is whether buying equipment will really be cheaper than rental over time. Once you add up repeated rent equipment fees, transport charges, and lost time, ownership almost always wins for recurring land clearing jobs:
-
Farmry attachments are engineered for real-world fuel efficiency, so you aren’t burning extra diesel.
-
Because you own the tools, you can schedule land clearing tasks around weather, crew availability, and daylight instead of returning a machine on Monday morning.
-
Routine maintenance is simple: grease points, inspect blades/teeth, and check hardware. You’re not paying surprise “damage” bills to a rental yard for normal wear.
Most importantly, Farmry lets you build your kit incrementally. Start with the equipment needed most—maybe a flail mower and stump grinder—then add a wood chipper or backhoe later. Every new attachment multiplies what you can do with the tractor or skid steer you already own.
A Simple Farmry Plan for Your Next Land Clearing Project
If you’re staring at an overgrown property and wondering where to begin, here’s a straightforward Farmry-only plan:
-
Survey the land. Mark large trees, small trees, rock piles, and overgrown areas. Decide which land clearing techniques you’ll use in each zone.
-
Mow and mulch. Use a Farmry flail mower or brush mowers to knock down tall grass, briars, and heavy vegetation. This reveals hidden hazards and defines your paths.
-
Remove trees and stumps. Fell undesired trees, then use a Farmry stump grinder for stump grinding to finish tree removal.
-
Chip and manage waste. Run branches and logs through your Farmry wood chipper for convenient waste disposal and trail mulch.
-
Shape the ground. Hook up your Farmry backhoe and scraper to remove large rocks, fill holes, and level uneven terrain at the job site.
-
Maintain regularly. With Farmry on your side, future land clearing tasks become routine maintenance instead of massive once-a-decade projects.
