MAJOR Progress! Our 1970s Compound Backyard Clearing Begins!
What happens here
After the initial clearing phase with the small Kubota, the owner transitions to using a 2003 Caterpillar 277 skid steer. This heavier machine, weighing 9,200 lbs and powered by an 80hp turbodiesel engine, proves far more efficient and satisfying for clearing large logs and branches. The owner expresses immense satisfaction at the machine's ability to clear in seconds what would take a person hours. He uses a specialized grapple attachment (root rake grapple) to efficiently pick up and move large amounts of debris.
Goal: Perform heavy-duty clearing and ground leveling with the skid steer.
