Day2: Taking out an Old farm | Clearing the pasture, demolishing concrete & removing trees
What happens here
Once stumps are removed from the ground, they often have a significant amount of dirt attached to their root balls. The compact track loader with the grapple attachment is used to shake and agitate the stumps, effectively cleaning most of the dirt off. For any remaining stubborn dirt, a worker uses a shovel to manually clean the root ball. This cleaning step is crucial because the stumps need to be free of dirt before they can be taken to a wood chipping facility.
Goal: Remove excess dirt from extracted tree stumps for proper disposal.
