We dont own any heavy equipment just a small tractor. I do have a neighbor who owns a dozer who has done some work out here back before we bought it,so thats a possibility. Trees wont be a problem since I also have loggers that live nearby. Most of the trees are maple, birch, and pine, some so big I can't wrap arms around them, but we got pretty good dirt down here its amazing the bigger lake still holds water it's dam is in pretty bad shape, lots of leaks, and lots of beavers!!
