I can't believe I hit this with the excavator!!
What happens here
The operator begins the active phase of land clearing. He utilizes the excavator's bucket, sometimes augmented with a thumb attachment (implicitly used for gripping debris), to methodically "pluck" and "scoop" through the dense accumulation of briars, brush, and partially decomposed stumps. He demonstrates a technique where he digs into the material, lifts it, shakes off excess soil to conserve the topsoil, and then deposits the organic debris into a designated pile. This process is focused on removing the unrotted woody material while leaving behind the now fertile soil.
Goal: Efficiently remove unrotted organic debris while minimizing soil disturbance.
