A series of photographs showing a Ford County Super 4 (FC 65 -113 ?) with a Wilder Rainthorpe chopper mounted on the three point linkage passing through a tree harvested site in an attempt to cut down the very high piled branches and tree tops left after felling and extraction has taken place. The aim would be to make it much easier to replant. Photographs taken by Andy Neustein
