Forest Lot Maintenance & Trail Creation

Various vehicles are used for maintaining forested areas and constructing trails. Contractors employ farm tractors, compact loaders, hydraulic excavators, and other specialized vehicles for these tasks. The choice of machine depends on factors such as the scope of the job, the size of the terrain, and its topography. Compact loaders, for example, offer increased manoeuvrability, which is beneficial for trail creation. Regardless of the vehicle, all can be equipped with mulching attachments to facilitate work in wooded areas. Forestry mulchers and mowers are used to shred pruning residues and clear vegetation, stump grinders pulverize stumps of varying sizes in the soil, and soil stabilizers help construct stable, compact trails that offer safe load-bearing capacity.
