The photos and video clips below show the LighfootTM working within the Wildland Urban Interface near Sutherlin, Oregon. The LightfootTM was mounted with the Fecon BullhogŪ and was used to reclaim a 35 acre pasture which had been invaded by scotch broom. The scotch broom was over 10' tall and covered over 95% of the field. Subsequent treatment will involve the application of Garlon 3A to treat the stumps and eradicate the weed. Due to its low ground pressure and minimal disturbance characteristics (as a result of its rubber tracks), the seed bank of scotch broom was not disturbed, and virtually no germination of seed has occurred in the field.

The photos and video clips below show the LightfootTM working within the Wildland Urban Interface near Medford, Oregon. The LightfootTM was mounted with the Fecon BullhogŪ, and was used to mow and masticate over 200 acres of manzanita chaparral. The manzanita was often over 10' tall and covered over 95% of terrain.

The photos and video clips below show the LightfootTM working within the Wildland Urban Interface near Sutherlin, Oregon. The LightfootTM was mounted with the Fecon BullhogŪ and was used to mow and masticate over 20 acres of scotch broom, french broom, gorse, and himalayan blackberry. The stumps of the weeds were immediately sprayed with Garlon 3A to minimize re-sprouting. Due to its low ground pressure and minimal disturbance characteristics (as a result of its rubber tracks), the seed bank of brooms was not disturbed, and virtually no germination of seed has occurred since mowing.
