They look pretty good . Dose any body know how much they are ?

Is there a reason you don't simply use a rotator?????

[kev7937]

Would it be good for stumps with no access for a grinder then?

 

And what happens when you hit a big lump of flint or the unavoidable piles of rubble the builers seem to bury in gardens round here?

Looks good.

 

Gonna give Muck Truck a bit of competition depending on how much you're asking for UK version?

Is that question for the Truxta 4x4 wheel barrow or the Terrasaw Extreme?

Great question and one that many people are probably asking.

 

Firstly the access to the garden is through an underground maze as the property is an old city apartment block. Up some stars, down other stairs etc.

 

We do have a Stihl Kombi system with all of the rotorvator attachments but, which the video does not clearly show is that there is a hidden stump buried and the amount of roots in there would have taken the job longer to complete with a rotorvator.

 

The other reason for using the Terrasaw is that at the end of the video you see a black roll of thick re-enforced plastic.

The ground was loosened up with the Terrasaw and then dug out with a shovel. After wards the Terrasaw was ued to place a trench around the perimeter of the hole we had dug out to give us a 500cm depth to place the black plastic material to prevent the aggressive bamboo roots from spreading.

 

I shall be posting further videos highlighting exactly what the Terrasaw was bought for and that is for primary and secondary drainage / slitting.

 

The video posted is just an example of how this could be used in different circumstances.

I was secectly hoping that it would be more aggressive on stumps as there is / was one buried where the video was taken.

 

Unfortunatly a stump grinder is still the weapon of choice

 

The saw and bar handles the same as with the trees. When digging at the angles you see in the video there is a lot of kick back and material is thrown up (slo mo) of large bricks thrown up in the video.

 

What we did do was to ensure that no body was stood within 5 metres and if there were any glass in the area then one would have to be aware of the direction of travel (perhaps cover the glass).

 

If I were digging in an area of flint or where I knew even more debris where to be thrown up then I would most certainly where helmet, visor AND also the safety glasses.

 

Oh If digging / trenching in such areas you would expect greater / quicker chain wear.

Yes we were heavily toying with a Muck Truck but then we stumbled upon this late last year, still in the prototype stage.

 

We had to go via a third party to purchase this as it should not have been exported as it was one of the original demo units.

 

I would say in total it was probably near to double the price of a muck truck. But it honestly saved so much back ache and we have done lots of crazy **** with it!

 

We hope to have a video of it towing the green trailer later this week!!! :001_tongue:
