I was putzing around the property the other day, and decided I'd try to use the tractor to remove the old fence on the property line. It's made of 5' tall chicken wire, and it thoroughly overgrown with grass and blackberries. I started by smashing a section of the fence down with the FEL, then backing over the smashed section with the box scraper. I lowered the box scraper, pulled forward a bit to get the fence caught in the scarifiers, then drove away, taking fence and assorted brush with me. I drove until the fence broke, then pushed the fence over to a pile with the FEL; it awaits the opening of burning season when it will be cleansed of brush and picked up by the local junkman.

It also works well to rip up roots. If they are not too deep you can rip them up and then dig the stump out with the FEL. Else out comes the BH.
