Fire Fighting with the Bull
Hog®

|
(Continued From Page
1)
For larger jobs or steeper slopes,
use an excavator mounted Bull Hog®.
 |
As an approximate guide, with a 200 series
excavator, without a power pack, you could expect to do about 1
mile x 24' per day.
You can also reach up to clear overhanging limbs.
Contact our consultants to
see which model would work best with your existing equipment.
|
For even larger jobs, check out
the RT400 Track Crawler!
Given the appropriate terrain, an RT400 is estimated to be capable
of mulching 6-8" dia. pine and brush at a rate of 2 miles x
32' per day. |

|
Finally, the Bull Hog® can fight fires
by replacing
traditional methods of pile and burn.
In BC, about 50% of forest fires are caused by people.
Mulch brush into the earth rather than burning,
and reduce the risk of starting a fire.
If you contract out your land clearing work, insist
that they use the Bull Hog® rather
than burning.
