[QUOTE="Hesstondriver, post: 5879006, member: 5823"] im going to throw some of my crude fag packet maths at this .none of us here have enough information from the OP to make decision or form valid opinions (myself included) ive done a bit of land reclamation but probably not to the degree that the OP is talking about. if you got a 3CX + driver in for a few days and had a good round up of the bushes trees and scrub (plus a big fire) you could assume a bill of somewhere near £1000 ? Fencing (assume a square field) - 3.5 ac = 500m of fencing @ £5 meter = £2500 ? so to take a from a field that is '[U][B]unusable'[/B][/U] to[U][B] 'unproductive'[/B][/U] £3500 (1000/ac) assume there will be some natural grass regrowth if you put 6x £500 store cattle in it in the spring and sold them in the autumn for £750 = £1500 a 2.5 year ROI is not too bad . if you amatise the cost of fencing over say 10 years the return is much better Please feel to rip the numbers apart [/QUOTE]
