What happens here

The farmer introduces his Ventrac tractor, affectionately nicknamed the 'Honey Badger,' a 24.8 horsepower Kubota diesel model. He highlights its versatility with two primary attachments for this project: a front-mounted landscape rake and a rear-mounted landscape rake, which he refers to as 'Ricky Bobby.' The objective is to clear rocks from a previously forested area of approximately 0.5 to 0.75 acres that was cleared last fall. This area was historically a hedgerow where rocks were piled up over centuries by previous farmers, making the terrain extremely rocky.

Goal: Understand the project scope and the machinery involved.
