Find someone who want to clear it and do it for free.

yeah thats true, how would you go about finding someone?
what type of equipment would be best efficient for one person, saw, a small splitting, conveyor system into a small dump trailer? thanks

Do you have Craigs list there? One person alone in the woods in this line of work is not a good idea. No help is available at all?

I do have craigslist here and I could do that , good idea. hum I have a friend or two that could probably help some days, I'm not sure if i bought the equipment how much to pay them either? id like a one person gig if i could even if i had to work at a slower pace , probably end up buying property to build a small home (maybe log). and forest that land as well.

What would be the best wood truck+ for reliability and fuel milage for that weight, buy a newish 1 ton or old? or just use a 1/2? I've never hauled wood before, I know it must be heavy.

Would a truck with a dump box or a dump trailer be better?

Thanks

4 Wheel drive dump truck is best. 2 wheel drive you will get stuck in the mud and snow. Gas engine is good because they are easy to start in the cold. New trucks are very expensive buy a low milage used truck 1 ton is good.
