Roadside clearing

[ddigger]

We just wraped up a nice little project. Clearing for line of site and hazard trees, very close quaters with live traffic and utility lines to deal with. Funded by the feds.











I hope everything loaded ok, I`m better at running my excavator than this computer!

I am surprised they let you do that with a track hoe instead of a wheel machine.

i would like to have a progressive link thumb on my lil machine instead of the stiff link I got.

Good job.

Are you grinding the stumps down ?? Last winter here, a 16yr old girl was killed when she crashed into a stump that was left in the ground. She was found with her cell phone in hand in the middle of a text.

Just took out some rock today to prevent that kind of thing.
6 inches from the edge of the asphalt - soft piece of ledge.

We sure do. Before we move to the next location or group of trees, the grinder does his part!

Those are some great pics ddigger.

Hard to tell by the pic, but that looks like a Mimosa tree your taking down.

ATCOEQUIP Those are some great pics ddigger.

Thanks for that, but the tree we are taking is the tall pine the climber was working on, I was just tucked under that tree waiting my turn. I`ve got other pics just didnt want to bore anyone!

LoL, yeah, I was talking about the tree that I now know you were tucked under waiting your turn. Looks similar to a tree that grows in this part of the country. I must say, those are some very large pine trees near power lines that you guys are taking down. Around these parts, they wouldn't allow a pine that size to be near lines, it would have been on the back of a pulpwood truck long time ago. Must be a California thing.

Great video! Looks like an interesting job. Did they have to close the road every time the brought down a tree?
