Remove Stumps and Initiate Piling with Excavator

What happens here

Operate a heavy-duty excavator, equipped with a large bucket or grapple, to systematically 'grub up' or extract the large tree stumps and their extensive root systems from the soil. After lifting each stump, carefully shake it vigorously to remove as much attached soil as possible. This action not only prepares the material for burning (as mentioned in the video) but also reduces the amount of loose sediment that could contribute to erosion if the pile were to function as a sediment barrier. Place these removed stumps and roots into growing piles, creating the foundational structure for the brush pile barriers. Positioning these initial piles strategically, especially along contours or at the base of slopes, can immediately begin to slow water runoff and trap sediment.

Goal: Utilize a large excavator to efficiently grub up (remove) the heavy tree stumps and roots from the ground, lifting and shaking them to dislodge excess dirt before placing them into designated initial piles.
