Yooper buckets like skid steers come in many sizes. The minimum that I can or should put on mine is 72"(if I'm using tracks which are 16" wide I would need an 8' bucket). At 8,000GVW my machine is one down from the largest, which will take an 8' bucket. The smallest full-size machine I believe is 36". HP wise, mine is turbocharged 78HP. It will out perform any 35HP tractor.

I've done a fair share of land clearing. Get a 25-40,000 GVW excavator with a thumb and use it stack and sort and dig stumps. A dozer is good after the lot is cleared to fill holes. Don't use a dozer to pile wood---it'll be a dirt filled pile which is harder to burn. A skid steer is nice to run around to pile
