Thread: Scrub crusher .

I'm sorry i did'nt reply to you , i have just come across your post . I will check them out to see what they look like , but postage to OZ will be a bugger .

Iron Horse. I don't reckon you would have enough weight in the vibrating roller to chop up scrub. The cockies here use ribbed stone rollers to break up limestone country and they weigh between twenty to thirty five tonnes, full of water. A pretty decent tractor is needed to pull them, too. They pulverise light scrub but you would need something pretty savage to chop up stuff a bit thicker. Rn'R.

I found you looking on another forum too. call me 678 682 3477 Thanks Matt

I've noticed you Aussie's make a lot of posts on land clearing equipment and techniques, many of which I haven't seen here in the States. I'm a bit curious about this. Is land clearing something that is done periodically, the same land gets cleared more than once? Or is the land being cleared for specific reasons? It seems as often as it is mentioned that there must be a lot of it going on.

This might be the sort of thing you are looking for: http://www.mackenziechamber.bc.ca/pd...reeCrusher.pdf The LeTourneau G 175 Tree Crusher. Hal

If Matt Cardy could contact me i am interested in the Marden Crushers

i think that you would be better off pulling the chopping drum with a crawler rather than using a modified roller. Here is why. Roller have rubber tires, and your making a punji stick path for it to drive on all the time. Spin the tires just a little, and they could become a pin cushion for sharp stick pieces. Besides, ever seen an old car or piece of equipment hiding in the bush, that could wrap around the drum and be even worse on tires....
