Installing rabbit fencing to protect a young hedge near Ramsbury
This bank does not look steep in the pictures, but Alex and Tristan will tell you otherwise!
We used our Protech Evo3* for this project, given the steep ground. Our Evo Compact would not have been sufficiently stable and could have tipped over.
The rabbit netting is erected with a turnout at ground level and then pegged to the ground to stop the rabbits from burrowing underneath. In all, it was approx. 600m on very hard ground.
* The Evo 3 is the largest in the Protech range, with a machine weight of 6.5 tons and needs to be delivered on a low loader. But even though a larger machine, it gives a lighter footprint than the Compact, with a ground pressure of 2.27PSI. It has a 500kg hammer weight. Each track itself is 500mm wide, and the tracks can be fully extended to 3.3m, giving greater stability on steep ground”.
