      Hey Steve thank you! If you look closely I have a straw hat upside down in my lap with the drone controller held inside. That works well for keeping the controller from accidentally controlling the drone and I've used it on a lot of projects where I'm in the machine.

      I know, right? It was a simple job but I did it over the holiday and needed the three trucks for a place to fill all the volume of roots I was removing. I could have brought the harley rake and used it with the volvo but I wanted to try it on the bobcat T450. I was also trying to beat the light, so I left the one truck hooked to the trailer and just grabbed another trailer quickly and loaded up.

    - My grandfather told me that, in the olden days, when they wanted to dig up roots, they would fence in some pigs for a few days and they would snout around the roots until they were exposed.
    - I guessed the rake thing correctly! 🙂

  • @OffroadTrucker740
    @OffroadTrucker740 Год назад

    Would you have had less dirt in the load if you would have picked your piles up and dropped them with the root rake a couple times before loading? I probably would have ran a disc plow after root raking then harley rake. Then use one of those angle iron grading frames to eliminate all hand work assuming I could not get a desirable finish back dragging with a harley rake
