While doing some work for a guy, I wound up cleaning a bunch of irrigation feeder ditch for his uncle. There is a complex system of ditches going into this ranch, and one of them is long overdue for a complete rebuild; it was last tended to in the early 60s. It is around 1.2 miles long and probably 60% has almost completely disappeared underneath heavy brush and small trees. The channel is not hard to spot, so re-establishing the ditch will be relatively easy once the cover is removed. I will be using my 6T mini with a bucket and brush rake, and figure I can speed this whole thing up considerable if I get a grapple for my A300 - there will be a considerable volume of material to pile and burn, and I likely will have help to run the skiddy.
I won't be dealing with much rock on this job, but others will come along. There are several configurations of grapples out there, rock/brush, forestry, etc. - suggestions?
