EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 439 and fuel-oil costs oi burning these stumps amounted to $60 per acre, cost of the gas shovel was $80 per acre, and bulldozer charges for grading land and pushing out boulders amounted to $20 per acre. The gas shovel has been more expensive than the bulldozer for stump removal and the latter machine has been necessary for leveling the land after the shovel had removed stumps A typical example of stump removal for pasture occurred on a Connecticut Valley farm where 20 acres of pine and hardwood stumps were pushed out with a bulldozer and the land leveled at a cost of $58 per acre. Less than 10 hours was required per acre to remove these stumps, which ranged from one to two feet in diameter. Some were used to fill low, wet areas in the lot while others were piled.
