3 Common Kinds Of Land-Clearing Equipment

Bulldozers

One of the most popular pieces of land-clearing equipment, the bulldozer is commonly used for large projects. It’s also versatile, with attachments like a plow for pulling out bushes and shrubs at root level and a rake for clearing land of rocks.

Mulchers

A mulcher is an eco-friendly piece of equipment that uses attachments to cut down bushes and trees and level ground without damaging the landscape. It grinds bushes and trees into mulch and returns the material to the ground.

Hand Tools

For small jobs you can do on your own, hand tools like a hatchet or ax are convenient pieces of land-clearing equipment for cutting through branches and small trees. You also might need a shovel and rake to dig out and clear roots and rocks.
