The theory is that it breaks the fronds in several places but keeps it attached to the root. This causes it to effectivly bleed to death. It puts energy into trying to grow which removes the energy stored in the root so it comes back less vigerously. Best done with a cambridge roller or proper bracken roller.

We trialed it with regular one as we had hundreds of acres of the stuff to cut but with only one working mower

 

Cheers! You learn something new every day.... Bracken isnt an issue here at all!

Hi, Komatsu looks nicely bogged in the bog, any shots of the recovery?

[IanBrown]

Used a 3 ton digger sat on bog mats to dig around it then ran a winch off a 6 ton tracked dumper and then just tracked and winched it out.

Heres another one I had to help get un-stuck, it was on demo with there driver and he decided to drive through a wet hole, made it through 3 times but on the 4th it just sank

A friend of mine asked me to help him get his 3 month old Doosan out after getting into a spot of bother whilst forestry ditching. Had to travel 300 yards with a 7 tonner using bog mats then dig all around the machine. Pulled the injectors to blow the water out of the engine then rigged a dummy fuel tank (it's own one was full of water). Left quite a hole!

Back to base, quick run over with the pressure hose, handfull of relays replaced and the diesel tank flushed and she was as good as new. He has 600mm pads and a 6 tonne hydraulic winch fitted to the machine to help him through bad spots now. Very tricky job all the same.
