It will clear dense surface scrub of 3 metres in height and trees with a trunk diameter of 15cm, and it will also take out booby traps and trip wires. Clearance rates are dependant on the terrain and soil type with a maximum of 3000 square metres per hour. A more realistic average in the field is 1800 square metres per hour. Based on extensive field operations, it has been calculated that a group of four MK4 machines properly operated and maintained over a 200 day year for 8 hours per day will clear terrain at a cost of less than £0.35 per square metre. This cost includes all spares, repairs, field support and capital cost amortisation over a five year period.
