Even though it's got protection bars, they are not consistent with the typical New England designs; for example, the front bar work is vertical vs. angled forward as is seen on breakers. This is to hit the tree high, and "push" it over, roots and all. While this design will probably nudge a tree or two, it clearly reflects the common stump jumper designs. I've built a few breakers, in case any "experts" on the board question my information.

Old Saybrook is a beach/ocean front community with more Long Island type terrain than most of inner New England they are also on Long Island Sound. Could also be that someone thought it sounded cool. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/popcorn.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
