Tree Removal and Site Clearance
At 4:26 in
Destructive Storm Rips through the farm! Escaping Cows? NO!!!
What happens here
To clear the fallen tree, the farmer first attaches a Raptor Attachments grapple to his Gehl RT1210 skid steer loader. He then uses a Husqvarna 445 Rancher Chainsaw while wearing appropriate safety gear (helmet, ear protection, and safety glasses) to cut the large tree trunk into smaller, manageable sections. Once cut, he operates the skid steer with the grapple to pick up these sections and any remaining brush or debris. The grapple's two independent grappers are shown to efficiently handle uneven piles, crushing the damaged old gate in the process. All collected debris is then transported to a large green dumpster for disposal.
Goal: Remove the fallen tree and clear all debris from the fence line and surrounding area.
