Snap, Crackle, and Pop! 🌲💥
Back again in Northern Virginia on some grinding work. This project has a high number of large diameter stumps. Although we have a large grinder, we still have to process the stumps into smaller pieces to feed into the machine. In the video I’m using the clearing shear on our Volvo 340 manufactured by rockland to split this large poplar stump. At the top it measured 3ft in diameter with 7ft worth of spread on the bottom. Don’t let the video fool you, it took about 5 minutes worth of prying to weaken it enough to get it to split in the video. She was definitely a tough one!
