Just a few picture of the current site I'm on with the 8 tonne Kubota unit.

 

Basically it's a restoration job and the site has to be cleared of all bracken mulch and debris from the previous clay pigeon shoot operation.

 

A previous contractor has actually claimed to have completed the work on this site!:confused1:

 

I'm not getting involved in any of that just cracking on to get it done, but it does demonstrate what's possible with a Tiltrotator system fitted as following all the rocks/contours is quite a challenge.

 

The job is plenty steep in parts and the rocks certainly make things fun when they get under the tracks providing no traction whatsoever!

 

I'm only a day into the job and feeling my way about, trying to sort out the previous efforts.

 

However it's a lovely site and cracking view, with plenty of challenge to concentrate the mind.

 

Eddie.

Just returning it to bare soil minus all the mulch and shooting debris, but the rocks have to stay put.

It's a bit of a nightmare as obviously a wider bucket will bridge over the rocks leaving material behind and teeth will snag on them plus tend to dislodge them.

 

It really takes no longer to do it to this standard than the previous half effort, just a good showcase of the tilt rotators ability in such an application.

 

I'd not say that was manicured just clean, and I could get fussy with a powered brush on the Engcon to scrub the rocks!:biggrin:

Thanks for the info, so will it be left bare to colonise naturally?
