Switch to Bucket and Manage Debris for Composting

Turning Brush into Pasture with This Kubota!
What happens here
After initial clearing with the grapple, consider the next phase of land preparation. If complete separation of dirt from debris proves too time-consuming with the grapple, switch to a standard bucket attachment. Use the bucket to push the mixed debris (organic matter and some soil) into a designated area, such as a corner of the woods, to create a compost pile. This allows the organic material to decompose over time, eventually forming rich topsoil. The operator plans to turn this pile periodically (e.g., every six months to a year) to aid decomposition. Simultaneously, use the bucket to fill in any low spots on the cleared terrain to create a more even surface.
Goal: Transition to using a bucket for moving debris and filling low spots, facilitating composting.
