Mini Excavator vs Skid steer
What happens here
The final challenge involves clearing a roughly defined 10x10 foot area of dense palm undergrowth and roots. Each machine is given four minutes to clear its section. The mini excavator uses its bucket and thumb attachment to dig out and remove roots and palm fronds with relative precision, leaving a cleaner, more leveled surface suitable for a usable field. The skid steer uses its bucket to push and scrape, clearing the surface area quickly but leaving many roots buried and the ground uneven.
Goal: Compare the machines' ability to clear dense vegetation and roots, preparing a 'usable field'.
