Thanks in advance. > Lee Tonkin Here in NZ a contractor has attached a rootrake to an excavator. He can drive down the centre of a cleared "windrow" bay, clearing slash with minimal damage to soils. Not only is his view of the rake superior to that of a bulldozer driver, but the machine only drives over a tiny fraction of the site. A bulldozer would compact most of a site during an equivalent clearing operation. Regards, Euan ================================================================== Dr Euan G.
