Russell, what a great looking ship and a fantastic adventure that must have been to build and sail around the world. I've been around the world, but my ship had screws instead of sails and was painted grey. I bet your voyage was much more fun than any of mine. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I don't know much about excavator attachments or grubbing attachments for that type of equipment, but I've located a couple of quick links about grose.

Gorse link 1

Gorse link 2

That looks like some pretty nasty stuff. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif I guess it grows mostly in our northwestern states here in the USA.

G'day Taylor, and thanks for the info. I think I replied to someone else when I meant to talk to you. Your descrption of a cutter rake on a digger to pull thru and under mesquite seems to be what I want to know about. Do you have a contact manufacturer or know anyone I can contact for a pic? Myt digger is ancient but if I nurse her along she seems to be ok. Attached is a pic of me real life and work. I built this chooner 19 yrs ago and work her in tourism here and around the Pacific. Russ.

Russell, not to side track the tread from the information you are looking for but I’ve got to ask, you built that schooner from scratch? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Man that must have been one heck of a project. How does one even know how to build something like that? Maybe when you have the time you could start another thread and give us some details about the schooner. I’d sure enjoy hearing about the specifications, materials, building process and your adventures after finishing.

Russel thats a great project. I dont think I could built a schooner, I like sttel too much. I talked to the hauling company that trans ported the machine they didnt have any pictures, bbut said it was made by a small machine shop about 300 miles from here. Im gonna try to draw a picture of it later and cut out a pattern of it.
He said they made 3 for that company and they had been designed by the owners of the clearing company.
