    Wow that could leave a mark According to their website it's a scarifier for preparing ground for re-forestation... http://www.brackegroup.com/ (select english from the dropdown and check out the product list)

    We have a bunch around here, but not with that set-up for scarification. Most have the saw head or loader for forwarding logs to the landing. I suspect it is used to loosen the soil when done as the wheeled equipment packs it down so hard that seeds cannot take root. A couple guys around here have mentioned to me in passing that tracks are the way to go as there is less rutting and less compaction. We just had a fire in one similar last month about 100 yards from the landing. It was a bear to get to and was burning pretty good. We managed to save it with extensive damage to the engine compartment and cab.
