Photograph of vegetation of flood detention structures. The use of the machinery on slopes of 3:1 or steeper requires a cable set up to hold equipment , both for safety and to prevent damage to the seedbed by equipment slippage. This contractor used a reenforced railroad rail secured to a cat-tractor with a wench mounted on each and for two cables--one for the tractor and one for the sprigging machine.
