Dangerous Trees Safely Removed and Land Cleared with Excavator and Grappler Rake

Land Clearing Operations

• 🚚 Robert arrives with a trailer carrying log racks and a Grappler rake for the 350 excavator.
• 💡 The Grappler rake is essential for moving large stumps, some as big as a truck.
• 🪵 Logs are loaded onto a trailer, and large stumps are loaded onto an off-road truck for transport to a burn pile.

Stump and Log Removal

• 🚜 The 350 excavator is equipped with the Grappler rake to efficiently grab and move large stumps and logs.
• ⚠️ Loading large stumps into the off-road truck requires careful maneuvering to avoid tipping.
• 🪵 The crooked nature of pulpwood logs makes them more challenging to load and stack compared to straight logs.

Site Cleanup and Progress

• 🧹 The team focuses on cleaning up cut-up material and loading it out, making progress on clearing the site.
• 🚧 Clearing trees along the road requires attention to safety, especially near power lines.
• 🌲 The removal of large gum and maple trees significantly improves visibility when exiting the driveway.

Finalizing the Clearing Project

• 💨 The last load of brush is removed, and Robert blades the area, pushing debris into a low area to be covered.
• 🕳️ Dirt is used to fill a large stump hole, and the brush pile has grown considerably.
• ✅ All designated trees are down, and the property is cleared to improve driveway access.
