Stump cutters do their job in tight spaces
Vermeer Manufacturing Co. has introduced two new stump cutters, the SC90 and SC130.

A deflector at the end of the spout directs mulch placement and helps spread the flow of material as needed. Nearly every function of the Top Gun is handled from a multifunction joystick that is mounted on the armrest of a swivel seat in the operator´s station. Electric-over-hydraulic controls also located on the joystick handle the rotating direction of the feed rollers, set the depth of cut for the bale, and adjust the angle of the deflector at the end of the spout. The swivel seat provides a view of the mulching action. A built-in toolbox is also included. For more information, call (641) 628-3141. (Nov. 11, 2002)

Chipper now available with hydraulic horizontal thrower
Bandit Industries Inc. has begun offering its recently introduced Model 2680 Beast Recycler with a hydraulic powered horizontal thrower. The thrower, mounted on the end of the Model 2680´s 12-inch discharge conveyor, allows material to be loaded into end opening chip vans or to be spread out over a site. Since material is discharged in the same direction in which it flows into the machine, the Beast and the chip van can be positioned on the same roadway, eliminating the need to create a separate landing, the company said. The 2680 is effective in converting brush, logs, whole trees, stumps, logging and land-clearing waste, construction and demolition debris, railroad ties, telephone poles, sawmill waste and pallets into usable products such as compost, landscaping mulch, boiler fuel and animal bedding, the company said.
