Clearing a New Hay Field with a Skid Steer (Finally! Nothing Broke!)

What happens here

Over several days, the operator continuously uses the Kubota skid steer with the grapple attachment to clear the extensive hedgerow. This involves pushing, lifting, and consolidating all forms of debris, including old tree stumps, branches, and dense weeds, into large piles. The material is strategically moved to the edge of the flood plain, allowing it to decompose or to be burned at a later date. This meticulous process helps to transform the wild, overgrown area into a more manageable landscape. The work progresses day by day, systematically reducing the volume of unwanted vegetation.

Goal: Further clear and shape the land, consolidating debris into piles for future management.
