Excavators equipped with specialized attachments or designed for root digging purposes can make the process more efficient.
Here are some features or attachments you might find on an excavator designed for root digging:
Root Rake Attachment:
A root rake attachment for an excavator typically has sturdy tines that can penetrate the soil and sift through it to remove roots and debris. It's effective for clearing roots and other vegetation.
