This Technical Note focuses on best practice and suitability of mounding methods using mechanised excavators on a variety of site types. Dense brash is recognised as a major hindrance to mounding. The success of techniques for dealing with this problem and brash mats produced during mechanised harvesting are discussed as are methods of assisting an operator’s judgement of mound spacing and improvements in bucket profile to reduce mound spacing across trenches.
