Body

The use of low energy grubbing implements to remove woody weeds is a low cost alternative to the use of chemicals or larger equipment in stands described as open or semi -open. They have a particular application where desirable shade trees are also in the paddock and would be affected by other clearing techniques. A hydraulically assisted grubbing implement with "V" shaped cutting blade is undergoing preliminary trials at Cobar, in the west of N.S.W. The 'BRUSH BOSS' was imported from the Texas company Harkness Hayporter.
