LAST DAY OF 30 ACRE LAND CLEARING PROJECT....HARROWING!

What happens here

The host then briefly highlights one of the heavy machines used in the initial clearing phase: a large excavator (specifically, a CAT 318CL). He demonstrates and explains the function of its 'hydraulic thumb' attachment. This specialized attachment works in conjunction with the excavator's bucket, allowing the machine to effectively grab, hold, and lift large pieces of debris, such as tree stumps and root balls, from the ground. This capability is crucial for efficiently removing substantial organic matter during the initial land clearing process.

Goal: Showcase heavy machinery used for initial land clearing and debris removal.

Tools and materials

  • Excavator — Heavy machinery used for initial land clearing, digging, and lifting large debris
  • Hydraulic Thumb Attachment — An attachment that works with the excavator bucket to grab and secure large items like stumps and logs for removal

on and as I fly the drone over I'll talk to you a little bit more about what we would have done differently and how everything turned out we're really happy with how everything turned out we want to show you the machine right here this thing has a thumb on it and it grabs stuff and picks it up that's how it picks up the stumps it just grabs with this big old hydraulic thumb pretty cool [Music]
