Have you ever done this and what were the results? Several years ago I read in Dougherty's book "Grow Em Right", where he speaks of using a dozer with the blade set about 3 feet off the ground and then just plow over any lodge pole trees. He did say to have a good cage since it was a very messy process. I've not tried this, and on a lot of my hillsides it would be impractical, but it does seem to be a good idea without having to run a chainsaw to do same for an acre or two. It definitely would clear the overstory and the mess would prevent initial browsing of a variety of plants that would start to grow. Kinda a small size clear cut. I'm giving some thought to trying it this year.
Anyone had the experience or thoughts on the subject? Thanks.
