The Road Badger with its finite depth control, is able to efficiently fracture and break up ONLY the top soil, preventing cross contamination of soils during wellsite, lease road or pipeline right-a-way construction on rural farm land. Tested in frost levels of 16 - 18", working depths of 6" at an operational speed of 2 to 5 km/hr are attained.

Conventional methods would consist of utilizing the ripper on a dozer, but precise depth control is unattainable. This can result in cross contamination of the soils, requiring more materials, equipment and time for proper remediation after completion. Additionally the large chunks created by the ripper tooth spacing on dozers can make working with the material difficult later on. If remediation is required, land owners can be reluctant to the hauling in of foreign top soils due to potential weed control issues and soil quality effecting crop yields. The Roadbadger can fracture and granulate the top soil, allowing for efficient clearing and prevent the mixing of soils prior to construction, allowing the same soils to be put back in place preventing these issues.

Utilization of the Road Badger for these applications can assist managing efficiency with increasing environmental pressures and policies, as well as strengthen land owner relationships. If you would like more information about using the Road Badger in this application, please contact us.

Road Badger Advantages:

- Precise depth control prevents unwanted inter-mixing of top soils with intermediate or sub soils.

- Connects to the back of the ripper on the dozer already on-site, or utilize any other power unit with adequate traction/hp.

- Machine operates at 2 to 5km/hr - high production and efficiency.

- Efficient and effective with low operating costs, fuel consumption is 1 to 1.5 gph !

- Versatility, this is just Another use for the Road Badger, not its only application!
