Today I was rolling down the highway in up state Connecticut and was watching guys work on the side of the road. They had a new machine that they were using to knock back the woods encroaching on the highway. The tool was affixed to the end of a backhoe that was about as big as they come. This machine was like a lawn mower that was suspended on a long arm and could chew through small trees and brush and cut it down like grass. This machine was truly impressive and all I could think about was how fabulous this type of machinery could be used in developing countries for the speed of the work. A machine like this could clear entire areas out so that new developments can be constructed. Here is an example of what was once forest is now sticks in just a few hours. Site clean up is quick and construction can begin.
