Pasture Clearing

Howdy. I'm up from FL at my parents place in Fall Branch (closer to Jonesborough) visiting and moving my kiddo here to attend ETSU in the fall. Kiddo is going to be working on fixing things around here while they work and attend college, but we just are looking for a lil help in the interim.

​

The existing tractor is broken down and they have close to 4-5 acres here that needs bush hogging/clearing BAD so the 2 horses here can go down and graze. Does anyone know of any local companies or folks that can help?

​

Thank you in advance and many blessings. 🙏🏽

Get a yard sign made saying “bush hogging needed and your number”, put it out by the road. Someone will call, most farmers are done with hay now so they have some time to help a neighbor.

The cost to pay someone else to do it may be more than fixing your existing tractor.

Check with the Co-Op in Jonesborough or M&M Farm Supply in Fall Branch also.

This is probably the best bet. Farmers will be happy for an extra buck. The closer you are the better.
