Everything You Need To Know Before Building a Retaining Wall
What happens here
After preparing the site, the main task is to remove a large tree stump. This proves challenging due to its deep and extensive root system. Initially, the excavator attempts to dig around and pry out the stump. When this is insufficient, a chain is attached to the stump, and both the Caterpillar 305.5E2 mini excavator and a Caterpillar 259D3 compact track loader (also referred to as a CAT 259D3 Skid Steer) are used in tandem to pull the stump out of the ground. The combined power eventually dislodges the stump, which is then moved to a different location.
Goal: Successfully remove the large tree stump to clear the wall's path.
