What happens here
The project begins with clearing the site of previous large tree stumps. This involves using heavy machinery. A Kubota KX040-4 mini excavator, equipped with a grapple attachment, is used to carefully extract the large, dirty stumps from the ground. The stumps are then shaken to remove excess dirt before being loaded into a Horizon dump trailer. In some cases, a skid steer with a tree spade is also used for initial stump removal. One particularly large tree root is shown being cut with a Makita chainsaw before being loaded.
Goal: Clear the area of old tree stumps and roots.
