I live in Michigan and would like to make a nice trail down through my woods. Obviously start with cutting obstructions but what about the path itself. Will the tire tracks cut the path or do I need a blade of some kind? Also any tips on this?

Thanks

I use a flail mower with hammer blades on my wooded trails.

I would suggest you add material to raise the trail and not lower the grade to create ditches for water to erode.

You may be able to use wood chips or other type of mulch to build it up after you get it cleared. Lay logs crosswise on slopes to retain mulch
