Clearing Wooded Land with Anchor Chain and Bulldozer

[Music] the giant d-8 Dozer waited over 40 tons a pairs of these with a line of anchor chain they can clear a large area of thick forested land in a matter of time [Music] the majority of this deforestation was for the agriculture need Farmers often clear forests to make way for crops and livestock with cattle soybean and palm oil are topping the chart [Music] 12.7 million hectares of forest were lost in 2022 that is about 100 times the size of the city of Los Angeles between 5.6 million and 7.2 million hectares of forest were cleared

for agriculture [Music] one of the most effective way of clearing thick forestry land is chain brushing with the chain attached to a bulldozer the chain is then dragged across the ground tearing up and uprooting trees shrubs and other vegetation on its path this method is often used in areas with dense vegetation such as forests or overgrown Fields I'll admit it it is quite satisfying to watch [Music] thank you [Music] there are a number of benefits to using bulldozers for land clearing first bulldozers are very efficient machines they can clear large areas of land quickly and

easily second bulldozers are very versatile machines they can be used to perform a variety of tasks such as felling trees uprooting stumps and clearing brush third bulldozers are relatively inexpensive to operate the cost of fuel and maintenance is relatively low compared to other types of Machinery such as excavators and backhoes [Music] are often located in areas that are well suited for farming when trees are cleared this land can be used to grow crops or raise livestock this can help to feed the world's growing population [Music] foreign [Music] deforestation can also create jobs and boost the

economy in the United States for example the forest products industry employs over 900 000 people and generates over 100 billion dollars in economic activity each year foreign [Music] for smaller land clearing application a tractor with disc Arrow could also get the job done [Music] there are two main types of disc arrows Field disc arrows and Forest disc arrows Field disc arrows are designed for use on Open Fields while Forest disc arrows are designed for use in wooded areas [Music] Forest disc arrows have larger discs and more discs than field disk arrows which allows them to

handle the thicker vegetation found in forests the discs cut through the roots of the trees in vegetation making it easier to remove them [Music] what you're seeing here is a roller Chopper it consists of a large drum with cutting blades or teeth the drum is mounted on a frame and pulled behind a dozer or other suitable Vehicles such as a tractor as the machine is driven over the land the drum rotates cutting through the vegetation and other obstacles in its path out it is particularly useful in rough terrain or areas with a lot of undergrowth

as it can effectively clear a wide path while also chopping up and mulching the vegetation this makes it a popular choice for Farmers ranchers and other landowners who need to maintain large areas of land for grazing farming or other purposes [Music] [Music] oh [Music] a more traditional way of clearing land with the Dozer is on the front of it the blade that was built with the purpose of pushing dirt can also be modified for a variety of job applications this one here is attached with what is known as a tree spear it is a long

sharp metal rod that is attached to the front of the bulldozer it is used to uproot trees break branches and clear brush the bulldozer's tracks provide excellent traction allowing it to move through rough terrain without getting stuck the tree spear blade is also very durable making it able to withstand the rigors of tree clearing work [Music] another one here is the shear blade the shear blade is a large v-shaped blade that is attached to the front of the bulldozer the blade is very effective in cut through trees and brush push it all out of the

way [Applause] [Applause] Shear blades are a popular choice for land clearing because they are fast and effective they can be used to clear large areas of land quickly which can save time and money [Music] sheer blades are also relatively easy to use which makes them a good choice for operators of all skill levels [Music]
