Simple Setup Clears Trees Fast

Simple Setup Clears Trees Fast CROPS Weed Control Harold Hart likes to get the roots and all when he clears saplings from pastures His skid steer with its fork-mounted blade does just that and does it fast Being able to change angles on the forks makes them extra effective “The forks let me put the blade right into the dirt and lift saplings out by their roots ” says Hart “I start back a ways and drive the blade in where it either cuts it off clean or hooks the sapling at its base and pulls it out ” Hart’s sapling remover couldn’t be simpler It consists of 2 forklift forks with a section of maintainer blade from a road grader bolted across them He burned 5/8 to 3/4-in holes about 3 to 4 in from the ends of the forks He did the same on the blade and then bolted it in place “You can make it as wide or narrow as you want but it doesn’t have to be very wide to do the job ” says Hart “I only set my forks about a foot apart ” Hart likes to dress the blade sharp with his angle grinder “The sharper it is the better ” he says “Just talk to the local township maintainer operator They are always replacing blades ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Harold Hart Box 192 Hale Mo 64643 ph 660 565-2597
