Cable-Scarification - A Site Preparation Alternative

A cable-yarder scarification implement offers land managers an alternative to preparing planting sites on steep slopes when fire or chemicals cannot be used. The scarifier, powered by a lightweight yarder, works well in lighter slash (smaller than 9-inch dbh) where loads do not exceed 40 tons per acre and brush cover is less than 10 feet tall.
