Man, debris doesn’t last long here. What are you thinking in terms of debris mgt excavator vs dozer?

I was close to selling some SOFI.

Tell me more. I’m about to have an operator and a 20k # Cat machine with rubber pads for a few hours. He’s clearing a small spot for a pole barn and campsite the first day. Was thinking of one new perimeter trail in young timber for the next day. ETA: for comparison, do you have experience...
