Initial Ground Leveling and Debris Raking

What happens here

After the initial clearing and piling, the CAT 953C loader, equipped with a 'raptor attachment' (also referred to as a land leveler), is used to systematically push the remaining smaller debris, loose dirt, and rocks across the cleared area. The loader operator meticulously works the ground, moving material into windrows (long piles) and toward designated collection points, ensuring a relatively clean and level surface. This also helps to dislodge any remaining roots or smaller stumps.

Goal: Smooth the cleared land and collect remaining surface debris.
