the soil is red clay and slate with a high PH at and elevation of 1360.the land was originally a gold lot and not considered air-able land therefore it has never been farmed with no topsoil because of logging in the past.It is the top of Hightower mountain and I can plant on any side of three peeks on 75 acres.it does not perk well due to the heavy clay content but there is plenty of water that could be pumped up to the top.The zone is 7a-7b on the line near the Alabama border in Polk county Ga.I am trying to preserve the native long needle pine and some old growth white and red oak.I have a back disability and I need some type of track steer but I am not sure where to start.thank so much for your prompt response
