Use of power machinery in bush land improvement in northeastern Saskatchewan / M.E. Andal. : A12-8/153-1948E-PDF

"Like many other enterprises, land improvement methods are going through a revolutionary period, in which slow, laborious, hand methods are yielding to fast and powerful land clearing machinery. This almost complete changeover has several implications, the results of which cannot be determined without considerable study. In this changeover from hand to power clearing, it is necessary to weigh the advantages of the immediate availability of crop land and with it income potentiality against the large initial outlay of capital represented by the high cost of power clearing. ... A study was made to obtain from operators such information as farmers' costs for clearing and piling by power machinery; actual operation costs, together with general information on clearing practices."--p. 3.
