[AT] Clearing scrub brush

[Brian VanDragt]

If you have a piece of steel plate and a torch you could cut one out pretty
easily.  You really only need one V if you are pulling one tree at a time.
Just angle the torch some so that it bites into the tree on the top side of
the plate to get a grip as you pull up on it.  See the pictures I posted in
my other reply.

I like that idea Brian, thanks. I bet I could fabricate something that would
clamp on my bucket and pull the trees straight up out of the ground. Not
quite as easily as an excavator though!
