Labeled as the most comprehensive resource available, Moving the Earth covers every aspect of site preparation and management as well as details on every machine and vehicle needed to perform each task. From freeing a tractor from the mud, or bulldozing a tree stump, this book explains how to do it correctly and efficiently.
