Page 30 <strong>of</strong> 77<br />

A 750m strip <strong>of</strong> partially vegetated/wooded track on a slope was set out (an overgrown<br />

firebreak).<br />

This test was designed to test <strong>Aardvark</strong>’s brush clearance capability.<br />

<strong>Aardvark</strong> flailed at varying speeds throughout this test according to what the terrain<br />

permitted.<br />

The angle <strong>of</strong> the side slope at various points is as follows.<br />

• Start = 16º 03’<br />

• At ½ way:- downhill = 20º 07’, Side slope = 18º 15’<br />

6.4.6.3 Comments & Observations<br />

The flail threw stones, branches and debris high in the air (~30m) depositing it over a<br />

wide area.<br />
