Checker Board Ditching
To make carpet removal and debris cleanup easier, checker board ditching is very helpful. Using as wide of a self-
scoring blade as possible, make ditches apart crossways from the way the machine will be removing the materials.
Running the machine crossways from the ditches will make smaller pieces of debris to be hauled away. Instead of
large gummy rolls of carpet, there are small squares that can be rolled, palletized, put on a dolly or folded with the
sticky side in. This makes removing the debris easier and reduces the amount of debris that can block the
machines movement.
