ACCESS ROUTES AND TRAILS
Open dry routes for walking, ATVs, equipment access, or reaching stands more quietly.
DRY RECREATIONAL ACCESS MULCHING
DRY CABIN AND RECREATIONAL ACCESS CLEARING
Open larger dry access corridors, cabin routes, food plot approaches, trails, field edges, and overgrown recreational acreage without burn piles or heavy excavation.
Truax Land Clearing uses a CAT 275 XE compact track loader with a forestry mulcher to open dry, machine-accessible cabin and recreational property taken over by brush, saplings, buckthorn, vines, and thick understory. This is for larger machine-fit access work, not cheap tiny trails, wet hunting land, cedar swamp, muck, marsh, mature timber removal, stump pulling, logging, or shoreland/wetland work.
Based in Coleman, Wisconsin and serving dry-access cabin, hunting, and recreational land projects across Northeast Wisconsin.

MAKE DRY ACCESS USABLE
RECREATIONAL LAND IS HARD TO MANAGE WHEN YOU CANNOT GET THROUGH IT
Brush and saplings can make a good property frustrating fast. Trails close in. Cabin access gets tight. Food plot approaches and field edges grow into brush. Areas that should be useful become hard to reach, hard to maintain, and easy to ignore.
Forestry mulching gives those areas a clean reset. The machine processes brush, saplings, buckthorn, vines, and thick understory into mulch where it stands, leaving the property more open, easier to walk, and easier to maintain.
COMMON PROJECTS
PRACTICAL CLEARING FOR DRY CABIN AND RECREATIONAL LAND
This service is best for larger dry access projects with firm ground, clear boundaries, and enough overgrowth to justify professional equipment.
LARGER DRY ACCESS CORRIDORS
Clear brush and saplings where the corridor is dry, accessible, properly marked, and large enough for the machine.
FOOD PLOT EDGES
Push back overgrowth around plots, openings, and field edges so the area is easier to maintain.
BUCKTHORN AND UNDERSTORY
Knock back thick invasive brush that blocks movement and closes in the woods.
CABIN AND LAND ACCESS
Clean up overgrown areas around dry cabin land, vacant parcels, and recreational acreage.
WHY MULCHING WORKS
OPEN THE LAND WITHOUT LEAVING PILES BEHIND
Traditional clearing can leave piles, ruts, and a second cleanup project. Forestry mulching is different. The brush is processed on site and left as a mulch layer, so the property opens up without dragging material across the land or waiting on burn piles.
For cabin, hunting, and recreational land, that means cleaner dry access, better visibility, and less mess to deal with after the machine leaves.
PROJECT FIT
THE RIGHT PROJECT HAS DRY ACCESS AND CLEAR SCOPE
Forestry mulching works best when the target is brush, saplings, buckthorn, invasive understory, marked trails, larger access corridors, field edges, or overgrown access routes. The ground needs to be firm enough for equipment, the work area needs to be marked, and the project needs enough scope for professional machine work.
Some properties need a different approach. Wet ground, cedar swamp, shoreland, mature tree removal, stump pulling, excavation, grading, debris hauling, and tiny hand-clearing projects are not the right use of this machine.
PLAIN LANGUAGE
Not sure whether you need access clearing, habitat work, or brush clearing?
Cabin, hunting, and recreational landowners describe this work a lot of ways: the trail closed in, the access route disappeared, the stand approach is too noisy, the food plot edge is growing into brush, or the woods are too thick to move through.
Forestry mulching can help when the work is dry, accessible, clearly marked, and has enough scope for professional equipment. It is best for brush, saplings, buckthorn, vines, field edges, access routes, and overgrown openings.
This is not the right service for wet swamp trails, cedar swamp, mature tree removal, stump pulling, logging, excavation, or small low-budget hand-clearing jobs.
- Dry access routes
- Overgrown trails with firm ground
- Larger dry access corridors with brush and saplings
- Food plot edges
- Buckthorn and understory around usable areas
- Cabin or vacant land access when the ground is firm
Before quoting dry recreational or hunting-property access, send the property location, photos, a marked map, and whether the ground is dry or wet.
PROCESS
SIMPLE PROCESS. CLEAR SCOPE.
SEND THE PROPERTY DETAILS
Use the quote form to send the property location, photos, and a short description of what you want opened up. A map pin, parcel map, or marked screenshot helps.
WALK THE SITE
If the project looks like a potential fit, we walk the site to review access, ground conditions, boundaries, trees to keep, obstacles, and the finished result you want.
GET A WRITTEN QUOTE
After the site walk, you receive a written quote with the scope clearly defined. Photos and the calculator can help with planning, but final pricing comes after the property is walked in person.
Pricing without the runaround
Know the rough range before we walk the property.
The Instant Calculator gives you a realistic planning range based on acreage, brush density, terrain, access, and travel. It is not a final quote — it helps you see whether the job is in the right ballpark before we schedule a site walk.
Need a rough planning number? Use the Instant Price Calculator.
Starting at
$1,200
- Select only the area you need cleared, not the whole property
- Adjust for brush density, terrain, access, and travel
- Use the range for planning, then schedule an in-person site walk
Larger, denser, rougher, or more remote jobs can price higher. Official written quotes are confirmed after an in-person site walk, access check, and confirmed scope.
FAQ
HUNTING LAND CLEARING FAQ
Can forestry mulching clear dry hunting-property access lanes?
Yes, when the lane is dry, accessible, clearly marked, and large enough for professional equipment. The machine can mulch brush, saplings, buckthorn, vines, and small woody growth to open larger access corridors and sightlines. Boundary lines, stand locations, and areas to avoid should be marked before work begins.
Can you clear food plot edges?
Yes. Forestry mulching can push back brush and saplings around food plots, field edges, trails, and openings so the area is easier to access and maintain. It does not replace tilling, planting, or full food plot installation.
Can you work on wet hunting land or swamp trails?
No. The machine needs firm ground to work safely and leave a clean result. Wetland, swamp, cedar swamp, muck, shoreland, and soft lowland areas are not good summer forestry mulching projects.
Do you remove large trees or stumps?
No. This service is for brush, saplings, buckthorn, invasive understory, trails, field edges, and light-to-medium overgrowth. Large tree removal, commercial logging, stump pulling, excavation, and grading require different equipment.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the quote form and include the property location, photos, and a short description of what you want opened up. If the project looks like a fit, an in-person site walk is scheduled before a final written quote is provided.
Should access routes, lanes, and stand approaches be marked first?
Yes. Mark trails, larger lanes, stand approaches, boundaries, trees to keep, and areas to avoid before the site walk. Clear markings help define the scope and keep final written pricing tied to the actual work area.
