I'm still doing this clearing/maintaining my trails and enjoying them at age 85. 70 was a looong time ago. I hopped out of the Gator a lot faster back then than I do now, but still enjoy playing the game and the trails.
The best tool I think that I use on the trails is my Stihl battery-power pole saw HTA-65. It is 7' long and can reach out a good ways, or just stay tucked close for easy carry.

Stuff bigger than 2" gets cut low by hand and pushed up or just run over with a bush hog. After continuous bush hog mowing for a few years I switch to a sickle bar. The little 20 hp 4x4 / 5' bush hog has a loader with 2 2' forks on the bucket. Although I have other and larger machines this little rig and patience does wonders. Same for the 12 hp Cubs with side mount sickle bars around the rocks if you maintain them.I have not considered old fields but I have wondered about doing this type of thing for others with woodlots. Because I like being in the woods and it's cool to see other tracts. Don't know if there is a demand for this but maybe so. However, I have a lot to do on my own!
