Clearing Wooded Land with Anchor Chain and Bulldozer

There are a number of advantages to using mechanical land clearing methods. First, it is a very efficient way to remove large areas of vegetation quickly. Second, it is relatively safe for the operators of the machinery. Third, it is a relatively environmentally friendly method, as it does not involve the use of chemicals or fire.

We did this in Canada back in the 1980s, it was used for reclamation of previously logged areas. In the middle of the cables we had a steel ball maybe 3 meter wide and filled it with water. This was an effort to keep the cables from climbing up and over the remaining standing trees. Once all the trees were down, new once were planted. You go there today and it’s a whole new forest.

many historically forested areas were replaced with farmland then that farmland was abandoned and invasive species can pop up and pose more of a fire and ecological hazard than well planned agroforestry operation or intact native forest. this actually seems likely a very effective form of chop and drop and looks like it would be fantastic for removing invasive blackberries and pine monocultures in favor of mixed stands of timber nut and fruit trees.

Honestly wish that they'd at least plant more trees after deforesting an area instead of just deforesting a massive area and not planting any trees to compensate for it. Trees are a vital and important aspect of our lives, they take the CO2 we exhale and create through man made processes and converts it into breathable oxygen through photosynthesis, they're a very important and vital thing to our daily lives. Without trees we humans would actually cease to exist, they're extremely important and vital to the cycle of life. It's honestly not all that hard to replant trees anyways, hell you can go into a forest, take some saplings that would otherwise end up dying, and replant them in an area where they can get sunlight without spending any money on buying the trees lol.

The place already looked arid as hell the only reason anything was growing there was because the cover created by the trees.

The anchor chain knows where it is at all times by subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is, whichever is greater. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the anchor chain is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it may be corrected by the GEA.

We have several acres and some of it gets overgrown. Instead of hiring someone with a tractor and a brush hog each time, we made a heavy drag to pull behind my AWD Subaru Outback. It's an 6 foot length of telephone pole, with chain link fence wrapped around it. A tow chain is attached at each end, with a trailer hitch ball welded to the center of the "V." The hitch ball goes in the receiver hitch on my Outback and I just take off driving. I can clear 2 acres in an hour if I drive slow.
