I just had a look in Caterpillar Performance Handbook #10, if you can access one it will possibly answer many of your questions about production etc if you work through the section on land clearing. Never cleared land topside, however a lot down under, I hazard a guess to get shot down, maybe D8K in first gear walking non stop by width will get you close to the mark, then work on 80% of that production rate.
