D8 14a "Mr.Cat" has been busy

I have a Darf wheel rake, its like a big hay rake, it has seven wheels with spring loaded tines that roll all the wood and roots into a windrow. I'll load some photos later. You Aussies should know what these are, they came from over there.
Heres another manufacturer. https://youtu.be/i9eA4GeeYrI
Another one, https://youtu.be/oKMuWLwKVmg

Need extensive photos of the tiller please

Thanks for the replies. I am well aware of the big wheel rakes and am thinking about a 5 wheel Dika that is for sale local. Thing is, does mulching eliminate all that stick picking, raking, burning? I picked up this tiller and the gent I bought i from said it would eat up 4 to 6 inch diameter trees. Didn't give me any real details if that was all he had to do. I've brushed it of to minimize the wood in the soil. From internet searches I see these types of tillers were used in the 80's in B.C. in forestry planting preparation. Not sure if any of this goes on any more. This is not a Madge tiller but very similar. Looks to be shop built. Simple and heavy duty. Runs well. I just haven't had it near any bush that I could try in on.I see that the new high tech mulchers are getting to be quite common. I haven't been near one to see the first hand results.[attachment=47932]IMG_2059.jpg[/attachment][attachment=47933]IMG_2061.jpg[/attachment]

I have a old self propelled SEAMAN tiller that has a drum about the size of the one you got. I have not used it yet, but it says in the 1950s owners manual, "If your trees are 3" diameter or smaller we recommend you simply drive over them and chew them up." It did come with three different types of teeth for different applications.

That sure is a good looking D8. Looks like you’re doing a great job. Will this be a Home site?

Thanks for the pictures
