Impossible to give an estimate on the details provided. How thick was the bush? How many trees per meter and what size? How many days did it take to do? How many guys you have working? Did you just have to flush cut or did you have to stump as well? What kinda of equipment did you use?

Based on square footage alone, 30K, probably more with the long turns killing production.

What is the average price per square foot?

Brush just had to slashed down anything 6 inch and up was skidded.No idea how many tree's per meter timber was of good size 12 inch to 28inch almost all hard wood.I work alone and stumps were left behind for the road building crew.equipment used chainsaw,skidder,log truck.

Figure $2500 an acre if you are getting value out of the wood. $3500 an acre if someone else is reaping the benefits of your labor. That's how it works around my area. It may be different for you. Fuel costs on long turns will push the costs up. Shorter turns increase your production and reduce fuel costs.
