[AT] Clearing scrub brush

[Herb Metz]

Not sure, but believe best time to use such scrub-tree removal method is 
when soil is real wet, and more roots being pulled when tree is removed.
Also, would using some roundup type spray several months earlier, reduce the 
probability of remaining broken tree roots continuing growing and coming 
back to life? Herb(GA)

Here is a closeup view of the teeth that I cropped from one of the full size
pictures.  You can see how the sides of the teeth are tapered so the ends
look like keystones, wider at the top.

Any way I could get some front pictures of that?.  I am sure it tapers
inward, but I cannot tell if he serrated the edges of the horizontal parts,
or it is just the pixels of the camera.... I also like the way it hooks to
the back underneath of the bucket as it would make it easier to clean the
trees off.  That is a great invention....!!
