They have the equipment and expertise necessary to do any type of land clearing safely and thoroughly.

Land clearing with a bulldozer and chains involves heavy equipment, and therefore requires professional assistance and supervision. However, the principle behind the process is fairly simple. A large chain is linked between two separate bulldozers, which are driven parallel to each other. The chain between them covers the area of land to be cleared. This allows a property owner to take down trees, shrubbery, and other obstructions quickly and efficiently.

Understanding how much chain to use for your land clearing project can be complicated. As a rule of thumb, you should first determine how wide the area you plan to clear is, and then add 100 feet for each bulldozer. Too little chain length and the tension will put pressure on the steering mechanisms, making it difficult to handle the bulldozers. Of course, for this type of work, proper safety and expert knowledge is key.

It’s also important during land clearing to have someone is on hand with thorough knowledge of the bulldozers being used and the horsepower they provide, as this will determine whether or not a tree is too big to be taken down using this method.
