Image Number K11494-1

In areas where melaleuca is interspersed with native trees, mechanical removal with the brontosaurus is an option. The device, a set of steel blades, is mounted onto a normal excavator in place of the excavator's scoop. The brontosaurus blades grind the trees into mulch, starting from the tops of the trees down to the soil.
