You have an MEO or two on staff, but did you ever think you might need a DEO? The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) recently did a survey that highlighted the rapid deployment of new Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) or drone technologies by state DOTs. The study also looked at the growing demand for a highly trained workforce required to manage them … so, drone equipment operators. It’s unbelievable that it’s come to this. Honestly, who would have thought just 25 years ago there’d be jobs at companies called “social media manager” for which the qualified candidate will post photos and catchy blurbs, sometimes accented by emojis, to help brand the business and draw customers to it? And now, people get to use their affinity for flying toys and make a living out of it. AASHTO found that more than seven out of 10 state departments of transportation have hired hundreds of staff, including highly-skilled personnel to manage drone operations. Those state DOTs, 36 in total, also reported having 279 Federal Aviation Administration certified drone pilots on staff or approximately eight pilots per state. Why are state DOTS using drones? Here are five reasons: • photo and video gathering mainly of infrastructure projects; • surveying; • inspecting infrastructure including bridges, signage, light poles and pavement; • responding to emergencies and natural disasters; and • for public education and outreach. In all, according to AASHTO, state DOTs identified more than 20 mission types including the observation and management of endangered species, underwater vegetation and traffic monitoring. The survey also found that state DOTs have teamed up with academic organizations to train new drone operators. The reason is simply demand. AASHTO found that 36 of 50 state DOTs — or 72 percent — are now funding centers or programs to operate drones in 2019. That’s up from 20 of 44 state DOTs — or 45 percent — in AASHTO’s 2018 survey who said they had internal drone operations just last year. While full-time drone operators may not be coming to small highway departments, yet, the technology, nonetheless, is something to keep an eye on and knowing someone who is licensed to operate one could prove to be helpful on a freelance basis.

Highway Superintendent

Bill Gardner

and the Town of Forestport

By Mary Yamin-Garone PROFILE CORRESPONDENT

When telling Superintendent’s Profile about his background, Bill Gardner said he was born and raised on a farm in Delaware County. In Andes, N.Y., to be exact. Bill attended what was then the Delhi Agriculture and Technology Program for one semester. “I didn’t like it so my parents offered me the farm,” he said. “I quit college and returned home. We raised dairy cows on our 285 acres. It was one of the deals that you had to go bigger or get out. So that’s what I did. It was a lot of work. I can tell you that. “After I sold the farm, I went to work as a foreman for a friend of mine. He owned a construction outfit (Construction Foresight) in Liverpool. Not long after, a supervisor’s job opened up in the Liverpool School District. I passed the civil service test and got the job. I was the maintenance supervisor from 1981 to 1988. I supervised eight employees and 12 campus locations. My mother got sick so I moved back to Andes.

“I stayed there for a year. I started doing carpentry work as Gardner’s Handyman. I did that until I got the job with the sewer department here in Forestport in 1989. I was doing the laterals from the houses to the main line and running the backhoe. They had just put in a new sewer system. I did that for six months before I was hired on the highway department as a heavy equipment operator. In 1999, there was an opening for highway superintendent. I ran for the position and won. I’ve been here ever since.” So, what drew Bill to the position? “I worked here for five or six years before I ran for it,” he said. “My job with the Liverpool school district also helped because I did everything there, including the budget. That’s one of the stumbling blocks for a lot of superintendents. It wasn’t a problem when I was in Liverpool. But here, they cut my budget almost $200,000 over the past six years.” Married to his wife, Lisa, for 32 years, Bill spends his off hours, “Doing some carpentry work. I also enjoy going to the stock car and horse races. The horses are at Vernon Downs and I go to Utica-Rome for continued on page 12

When it’s finally time to hang up his hat, this super would like to “relax. It’s always go, go, go. I’ve been that way my whole life. It’s about time I take it easy.” Superintendent’s Profile • www.superintendentsprofile.com • July 2019

the stock cars. I used to fish and hunt but no more. I do a lot of snowmobiling. Not much traveling. Once in a while I’ll go to Yankee Stadium.” When it’s finally time to hang up his hat, this super would like to “relax. It’s always go, go, go. I’ve been that way my whole life. It’s about time I take it easy.” The Job “Our big garage is 30 x 140,” he said. “The one out back is roughly 30 x 60. There are six bays on the main barn and five on the back. We have five plow trucks; one is our backup. [Highway Clerk] Dorothy Hajdasz and I each have our own office. We also have a break room. “We don’t have a salt shed. We mix our salt in with the sand as we put the sand pile out. We truck the sand in and mix it with the salt. We bring in 5,000 tons each year. Typically, that lasts us but this year was the lowest ever. Even using a lot of sand, we have between 200 and 300 tons left. This year we sanded 29 times. Last year it was 13. There was a lot of ice.” As highway superintendent, it’s Bill’s job to maintain the town’s 104 center lane miles of road, 32 of which are county roads. That translates into four plowing routes that take approximately four-and-a-half to five hours to complete. A six-man crew helps him serve the town’s 2,000 residents. His staff 12

includes HEOs John Fallon, Roger Hitzeroth, Shane Mooney, Benjamin Seelman and Carl and Richard Winters. “They’re versatile. All of them can do anything — welding, mechanic work. We also employ a laborer, Steven Scouten, and a night watchman, Jim Pelno.” Under Bill’s guidance, the town of Forestport highway department functions on a total operating budget of more than $1 million. That includes salaries and benefits for its employees and an annual CHIPS allocation of $165,000; $24,000 from Emergency Winter Recovery; and $28,000 from PAVE-NY. To fulfill its responsibilities, the department uses a convoy of equipment that includes: • 2015 International 7600 • 2005 International 7000 • 2011 International 7600 • 2015 International 7600 • 2016 International 7600 • 2009 International 7600 • 2011 Chevy Silverado pickup • 2112 Chevy Silverado dump truck • 2100 GMC Sierra dump truck continued on page 16

Our other equipment is old, but it’s not used that much. We’re in good shape. We buy new and on state bid. We never lease. Some of the towns are talking more about leasing. I haven’t got into that, yet. I don’t know if it’s more cost-effective. In the long run, it might be a wash. You wouldn’t have to worry about maintenance. “We work on our own vehicles unless it’s something we can’t fix here. That’s when we’ll call International. They’ll come down with their computer system, so we don’t have to take our truck there. The computers don’t act up often because they’re all fairly new. We have a 2014 and 2016. Our oldest trucks — our backups —are 2005. Next year, another truck is up for replacement. Then we’ll get rid of the 2005 and keep the 2011.” For Bill, one of the best parts of the job came when they switched their underground fuel tanks out for above-ground ones. “[Highway Clerk] Dorothy Hajdasz (seen here) and I each have our own office,” continued on page 20 said Bill.

A few years ago, the district consolidated with Adirondack Central in Boonville. A new elementary school replaced the old one, which is now used for town offices, meetings and community activities.

Now they have a key system that keeps track of the department’s fuel. “That was done about six or eight years ago. We had to dig up the old tank. Yokam’s Fuel Company from Utica did the work. They put the key system in, which plugs right into our computers. Everyone has their own number so we know who got the fuel, what time they got it and how much. The first year we saved 3,000 gallons. Before that, there was no way to know when and where it went. The money came out of the General Fund. Total cost was around $35,000.” Over the years, Bill has experienced a lot — good and bad. His worst day was “when we had an axle break on a plow truck. It was in the middle of a storm on one of our back roads. We had to fix it right there. We jacked it up and put in a new axle in little more than halfa-day or more. That happened right after I started working here.” The most rewarding was “seeing everything I’ve completed around here, like the 10-year replacement program for the plow trucks. I started that right after I took office. We had nothing but junk. I had four different kinds of trucks. Some were beat. The board had to approve it. No one opposed.” His biggest surprise was “the people in the town. They’re cooperative. You’re always going to get one or two bad ones (chuckles) no matter what you do. Overall, they’re good people.” The most challenging part? “Paving, especially when the weather doesn’t cooperate and we have to reschedule. We try to do one mile because now we’re doing hot continued on page 22 20

paving instead of the cold stuff. It lasts longer. It’s finer and it plows and sweeps off better. Whereas the motopave, or cold paving, is good but doesn’t last as long. The hot lasts 15 years while the cold lasts eight to 10. We made the switch two years ago. I tried a spot down in the village. I was happy with the results so I did it last year. We’re doing it again this year.” And the most memorable? “When we tipped one of our trucks over. The guy who was plowing was told not to go up the hill. Well, he started up and couldn’t make it. He slid down backward, went into a ditch and flipped over on its side. The driver and the wingman were in the truck when it tipped over and rolled on its side in slow motion. The wingman and the driver were inside. Luckily, no one was hurt. We had to have the wrecking company [Shufelt’s] come and flip it back over.” If he could, would Bill change anything about the job? “I don’t know of anything. It’s programmed like a well-oiled machine.” When asked to describe his job in one word, Bill hesitated for a moment before answering. “Interesting,” he said. “You never know what might “We work on our own vehicles unless it’s something we can’t fix here,” said Bill. “That’s come up.” continued on page 26 22

Plows are painted and ready to work next season.

About the Town of Forestport Forestport is the youngest — and one of the largest — towns in Oneida County. Located in the foothills of the Adirondacks, it’s also the fastest growing town, according to the Boonville Herald. It’s almost impossible to visualize the wilderness of 200 years ago that greeted the few hardy pioneers who came into the area at the close of the Revolutionary War. Parts of three early land patents are included in Forestport. In 1761, Matthew Adgate, a member of the first Constitutional Convention and the New York State Assembly, purchased by contract 45,000 acres of land for two shillings sixpence an acre. His patent, to what is known as Adgate’s Western Tract, was issued Jan. 30, 1778, and was later broken up into the Picquet, Gouverneur, Miller and Swanton and Devereaux tracts. It embraces White Lake and Otter Lake as well as Forestport. The Remsenburgh Patent of 48,000 acres was granted in 1787 to Henry Remsen, J. G. Klock, George Klock and John Van Sice after they petitioned the legislature that this area had been conveyed to them by deed in 1766. This acreage is in the general area of Enos Road and Kayuta Lake. Thomas Machin was granted a patent in 1788 of 31,360 acres. He emigrated from England in 1772. He was a skilled engineer and surveyor and assisted in placing the chain across the Hudson River to protect 26

West Point from British ships during the Revolution. The Woodhull Tract of eight square miles, or a full township, was apparently a later grant. This comprises the land in the village and east of the village. In its early days the town had several names. The first was Smith’s Mill, from a sawmill on the west side of the Black River. Truman Yale started a chair factory nearby and also built the first frame house on the east side of the river. Then, Dr. Platt Williams moved in, built an impressive home on the Alder Creek Road, and a sawmill a mile and a half down the river. The settlement became known as Williamsville. It also was known derisively as Punkeyville for the tiny biting insects that staged an annual spring invasion. The building of the Black River Canal Feeder, which was completed in 1848, brought both work and transportation to the area. Besides the feeder itself, two dams were built to provide storage reservoirs for the canal. One was made across the outlet of North Lake and the second replaced a sawmill dam in what is now Forestport village. With adequate transportation and shipping assured, more sawmills began to spring up. People who lived in the outlying settlements of Grantville and Meekerville moved to the village. At one time, lumber was hauled from the mill at Grantville for shipment on the canal by continued on page 28

means of a wooden railroad. There is nothing left of either Grantville or the railroad now. Meekerville, on picturesque Woodhull Creek, is a ghost town except for a few summer homes. With the increase in population, schools and churches were needed. A two-room schoolhouse was built with a room for smaller children on the ground floor and one for the older pupils upstairs. Four churches were organized: Methodist, Episcopal, Presbyterian and Roman Catholic. The Methodist Church closed nearly 50 years ago and later the Episcopalians bought the building, remodeled it, and tore down their own beautiful church that stood near Beechwood Cemetery. The first minister in the Presbyterian Church was the Rev. William Cleveland, brother of President Grover Cleveland. The president brought his bride here to visit and for a short time Forestport was much in the limelight as reporters overcrowded the hotels and filed daily news stories by means of Horace Dayton's telegraph. A parade led by the town band was staged in the president’s honor. In the early days while the town was still a part of Remsen, its neighbor to the south, voting became continued on page 32 28

For Bill, one of the best parts of the job came when they switched their underground fuel tanks out for above-ground ones. Now they have a key system that keeps track of the department’s fuel.

a problem. The residents alternated voting one year in Remsen and the next in Williamsville. However, many of the Williamsville men worked in the woods and it took real effort to reach the polls before closing time. This seemed an injustice and the resentment grew until one year a small group of men persuaded Frank Tracy, who always had the fastest horse in town, to drive them to Remsen. Before the astonished Remsenites realized what was happening the men snatched the ballot box and took it to Williamsville where their co-workers would be in time to vote. That clinched the matter. In 1860, a committee was named to divide Remsen and Williamsville into two separate towns. James Mitchell and Charles Thomas of Remsen with William B. Jackson and Alfred Hough were paid $1.50 per day to serve on the committee. It was not until Nov. 24, 1869, that the new town was formed and the first town meeting held in March 1870 made it official. Robert Crandall, postmaster, suggested that their name be changed to Forestport and everyone, including the United States Post Office Department, agreed. It is the only post office with that name in the United States. The old records spell it as two words Forest Port, but in a short time it was changed to one word. In 1870, the population was 1,276. Records listed 25 log dwellings, the largest number in the county. Some years after the division from Remsen, the land on the west side of River Street was annexed from Boonville. Anson Blake had acquired much of Dr. Platt Williams’ holdings by marrying his daughter and he decided to clear the land and grow corn. He brought crews from Canada to help cut the virgin timber, which was eagerly converted, into lumber by the sawmills. Piles of hemlock bark accumulated and a large tannery owned by Proctor and Hill at Woodhull took advantage of this to become the largest in the state, with 480 vats which used 6,000 cords of bark each year to process 25,000 hides. 32

All this aided industry in the area, but the farming venture failed. The soil was too sandy and the growing season too short. Among the early mill owners were T. R. Stanburgh, Seifert and Harrig, James Gallagher, Hough and Hurlburt, Forestport Lumber Company, Phillip McGuire, Charles Hayes, Francis LaFountain, Denton and Waterbury. All this lumber business generated a thirst and saloons sprang up as fast as the mills. The husky bartenders aided by a baseball bat had no trouble keeping order, for “there was no law north of Remsen.” For the superstitious, Forestport history bears out the old adage that things happen in threes. Three times the village was destroyed by fire and rebuilt. There were three breaks in the canal feeder. After the second fire, which took 14 buildings, the village incorporated with John H. Neejer as its first president. A water system was installed but before it could be turned on a third fire burned seven buildings. For a time, the village owned its own electric light plant but sold it many years ago and in 1937 the village voted to dis-incorporate. The turn of the century saw the land being stripped of timber and the mills began to close. Jobs were less easy to find. Before this, in 1897, a few men put their heads together and decided that a break in the canal feeder would solve that problem. At one point the canal parallels the Black River and is 70 feet higher. Holes dug surreptitiously during the night became larger in a few hours and morning found a vast opening in the canal bank, with water pouring into the river. Seventeen hundred men and teams worked around the clock for a month before the damage was repaired. The men were paid $1.65 a day and the teams 35 cents an hour. The first break brought such prosperity that another occurred the following May. Again, everything boomed but the state began to be a little suspicious. When a third break occurred in September 1889, the state sent Pinkerton detectives to investigate and 13 men were arrested. Five were continued on page 38

sent to prison, three fined, and five freed, two for turning state’s evidence. Forestport once had two supervisors at the same time. After the death of John Coughlin, the town board could not agree on a successor and by a fluke both Fred S. Liddle and Mrs. Laura LaFountain were appointed. Neither would withdraw, and the matter was finally settled by the courts with Mrs. LaFountain the winner. Forestport had the first central school in Oneida County built in 1927 after the existing schoolhouse burned. A few years ago, the district consolidated with Adirondack Central in Boonville. A new elementary school replaced the old one, which is now used for town offices, meetings and community activities. Otter Lake and Woodgate have discontinued their one-room schools and have joined with the town of Webb school at Old Forge. At present the Rome Specialty Company, which manufactures fishing tackle is the only industry in Forestport. The Village Boat Shop has an active business throughout the summer months and restaurants, such as the Buffalo Head, provide year-round employment. The Mid-York Bookmobile 38

serves the village while local interest in starting a Forestport Library has had limited success. In the pre-electric refrigeration days Woodgate supplied ice to the city of Utica. Each winter, the huge blocks were cut packed in sawdust and stored in a large icehouse for the hot summer days ahead. The icehouse burned one night with flames that could be seen for miles. The Oneida Pink Granite Company operated a quarry at one time about a mile or so from White Lake and shipped carloads of the beautiful stone for building purposes. Otter Lake never had an industry except logging. It did have one of the early hotels where guests were introduced to Adirondack vacations. Roscoe G. Norton did a great deal to develop Otter Lake into the thriving summer community it is today. The volunteer fire company, organized after the big fires, was reorganized as the Forestport Fire Fighters. In 1998, the Fire Fighters operate from one station on River Street, Forestport, and serve approximately continued on page 40

245 square miles in three districts. It is the largest protection area for a single-station volunteer company in the State of New York. The Fire Fighter’s 43 active members, plus an Explorer Scout unit and social members are also an important unifying organization in a community that sprawls along more than 70 miles of town roads. The trend of developing the center of the community reversed many years ago in Forestport. Community donations are the principle source for equipping the Fire Fighters. Today, there are six well-equipped trucks, tankers and emergency vehicles that respond to more than 170 calls per year. The forest has reclaimed the land again and the few farms have disappeared. White Lake and Otter Lake are ringed with summer camps and pleasure boats ply their waters in summer. Little Long Lake boasts Camp Nazareth, a Catholic summer camp for boys and girls. Round Lake is owned by the Masonic Home in Utica whose residents spend the summer here. Camps nestle on the shores of Kayuta Lake and sit beside Woodhull and Bear Creeks. Houses now line the North Lake Road and Enos Road and the people socialize in many little communities scattered throughout the area.

Boss Snowplow Launches New Solutions for Better Snow Removal

The new SK-R 6 features a reversible rubber cutting edge designed for quieter plowing operation and protection to sensitive surfaces.

Boss Snowplow expands its snow and ice removal product offerings to help professionals prepare for the upcoming winter storm season. The newest members of the BOSS family are the Forge 2.0 long bed spreader and the SK-R 6 compact vehicle plow. Additionally, the popular DForce accessory is now available for DXT plows. “At Boss, we’re focused on every aspect of the contractor’s business — roads, driveways, sidewalks and parking lots — and the solutions they need to work quicker, more efficiently and with more profitability,” said Mark Klossner, marketing vice president of Boss Snowplow. “We take great pride in listening to our customers and offering the products and accessories they need to operate successful businesses.” Forge 2.0 Long Bed Forge stainless steel spreaders have become a strong performer in Boss’ growing line of ice control solutions, and a new design makes the Forge a quality solution for long bed trucks. The Forge 2.0 long bed features a longer hopper design to optimize its fit on long bed trucks and makes filling the spreader easier and quicker with a loader bucket.

Boss continues to expand products offering D-Force, an accessory that improves scraping when backdragging by maintaining a consistent hydraulic down force powered by a hydraulic accumulator, leaving cleaner pavement in less time than conventional plows.

SK-R 6 The SK-R 6 joins the SK-R 8 and SK-R 10 to expand Boss’ line of box plows for tractors, skid steers and other compact vehicle equipment. The new SK-R 6 features a reversible 1 ½-in. rubber cutting edge designed for quieter plowing operation and protection to sensitive surfaces. SK box plows from Boss are designed to put the full force and maneuverability of compact vehicle equipment into getting the pavement back to black.

D-Force for DXT Boss continues to expand products offering D-Force, an accessory that improves scraping when backdragging by maintaining a consistent hydraulic down force powered by a hydraulic accumulator, leaving cleaner pavement in less time than conventional plows. D-Force will now be available on new Boss DXT 8 ft. 2 in. and 9 ft. 2 in. snowplows, adding even more power to the already fully featured DXT lineup. For more information, visit www.bossplow.com. 

Global Case and CNH Industrial leaders Carl Gustaf Göransson (president of construction, CNH Industrial), Larry Bryce (chief operating officer of construction equipment, CNH Industrial) and Michel Marchand (vice president — North America, Case Construction Equipment) were on-hand to mark the milestone, as were local Case employees and members of the manufacturer’s dealer advisory board. The event was hosted by Mike Petersen, plant manager, CNH Wichita.

Case Construction Celebrates 50 Years of Skid Steer Manufacturing Case Construction Equipment celebrated 50 years of skid steer manufacturing with a ceremony on April 3 at its Wichita, Kan. plant.

Case first built skid steers in 1969 at its Burlington, Iowa, facility, before eventually moving production to Wichita. “Skid steers completely trans-

formed the construction equipment landscape, and Case has played a leading role in the evolution and development of this product category throughout the last 50 years,” said Michel Marchand, vice president — North America, Case Construction Equipment. “These machines reflect every bit of our heritage from construction to agriculture, and we are committed to helping our customers build strong communities and businesses with the help of Case skid steers built here in the U.S.A.” Global Case and CNH Industrial leaders Carl Gustaf Göransson (president of construction, CNH Industrial), Larry Bryce (chief operating officer of construction equipment, CNH

Industrial) and Marchand were on hand to mark the milestone, as were local Case employees and members of the manufacturer’s dealer advisory board. The event was hosted by Mike Petersen, plant manager, CNH Wichita. Case skid steers and compact track loaders (CTL) are made “For the World” in Wichita — meaning that every Case skid steer or CTL sold and operated anywhere in the world today comes from Wichita. The plant is designated at the “Silver Level” for World Class Manufacturing (WCM), one of the global manufacturing industry’s highest standards for the integrated management of manufacturing plants and processes. 

Cat Land Management CTL Takes On Tough Land-Clearing Apps The Cat 299D2 XHP Land Management compact track loader is a purpose-built machine solution for customers involved in demanding vegetation-management applications, ranging from mulching, brushcutting, vegetation control and mowing. This segment-focused machine delivers the advantages of efficiency and economy in specific applications, including site preparation, utility right-of-way clearing, vegetation management for fire prevention, railroad maintenance-of-way, agriculture, and forestry. The 299D2 XHP Land Management machine’s powerful Cat C3.8 engine, rated at 110 gross hp (82 kW), combines with its high-flow/highpressure auxiliary hydraulic system — 40 gpm @ 4,061 psi (150 L/min @ 28,000 kPa) for a calculated hydraulic-horsepower rating of 94 (70 kW) — to ensure optimum performance when powering high-production, hydro-mechanical attachments, such as mulching heads and industrial brush-cutters.

Design Details To provide longer intervals of uninterrupted work, the 299D2 XHP Land Management compact track loader has a 58.1-gal. (220 L) fuel tank, which is 80 percent larger than the tank on standard 299D2 XHP models and sized to provide and estimated run time of 11 to 12 hours. This machine also is factory-equipped with seal and cover components designed to restrict debris and other material from entering the engine compartment and lower frame. A debris deflector channels any material created by rotating attachments away from the front of the cab for added safety. In addition, certain engine and emissions components incorporate special parts and covers, designed to deter debris from collecting on the components, and large frame-access panels provide easy access to aid in routine cleaning. A turbine-type pre-cleaner ejects dust, dirt, and debris from engine-intake airflow before it reaches the filter, thus extending airfilter service life.

The 299D2 XHP Land Management model also comes factoryequipped with components that provide guarding to protect front and rear LED work lights, work-tool coupler area, work-tool electrical harness connections and auxiliary-hydraulic quick-disconnect fittings from impact and debris that are often hazards in land-clearing applications.

Operator Station The 299D2 XHP Land Management machine also features a onepiece, sealed, pressurized cab design to keep the operator’s environment clean and quiet. Operator comfort/convenience features include a premium, heated, air-suspension seat with independently adjustable armrest/joystick-control positions, integrated full-color display for machine operating information and performance adjustments, rearview camera, and integrated Bluetooth radio with microphone. A bracket in the cab accommodates a five-pound fire extinguisher bottle. The 299D2 XHP Land Management model includes a full-color, 5-inch, LCD advanced display monitor that enables onscreen adjustment of implement response, hydrostatic-drive response, creep-control speed, ride-control-activation speed, language preference, and gauge layout. The electronic instrumentation includes fuel level, DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) level, hydraulic and engine-coolant temperatures and tachometer. The 299D2 XHP Land Management machine’s powerful Cat C3.8 engine, rated at 110 gross hp (82 For added operating safety and security, kW), combines with its high-flow/high-pressure auxiliary hydraulic system — 40 gpm @ 4,061 psi the rearview camera provides high-resolu(150 L/min @ 28,000 kPa) for a calculated hydraulic-horsepower rating of 94 (70 kW) — to ensure tion images of difficult-to-see areas behind optimum performance when powering high-production, hydro-mechanical attachments, such as mulching heads and industrial brush-cutters.

Additional Features The cooling system’s hydraulically driven demand fan operates only when required, saving fuel and reducing sound levels. The reversing fan clears intake screens and can operate in both automatic- and momentary-purge modes. A battery disconnect adds to machine security and allows isolating the battery when servicing the machine or when storing the machine to minimize battery drain. The 299D2 XHP Land Management compact track loader uses a torsion-axle-type undercarriage-suspension system that allows independent vertical movement between the frame and undercarriage. The system distributes loads and absorbs shock and vibration that can occur when operating in uneven underfoot conditions, thus isolating the frame and providing a smoother ride for operators and protecting the machine from unnecessary stress.

Vermeer Upgrades Tree Care Line With New SC70TX Stump Cutter Vermeer enhanced its professional tree care equipment product line with the introduction of the SC70TX stump cutter. Equipped with a 67 hp (50 kW) Cat turbocharged, Tier IV Final/Stage IIIB diesel engine, the SC70TX stump cutter delivers power to the cutter wheel and can travel up to 1560 rpm. “Vermeer designed the SC70TX stump cutter for challenging residential, commercial, municipal and rental applications,” said Todd Roorda, tree care, rental and landscaping sales manager at Vermeer. “We have made several enhancements upon qualities to create a powerful and efficient machine. We know contractors will be pleased with the power, speed and controls of the SC70TX model.” The ground speeds of the SC70TX stump cutter will be noticeable to operators the moment they take it off the trailer. With a transport speed of 65 ft./min. (19.8 m/min), contractors can maneuver much more quickly from stump to stump. The undercarriage system has 4.3 psi (29.6 kPA) ground-bearing pressure in soft ground and allows the machine to

track quietly and smoothly. The model’s rubber tracks have a tread design that helps reduce the risk of turf damage while turning. Vermeer also has incorporated performance and safety features found on its other stump cutters, including an operator presence system that stops the cutting wheel when an operator disengages contact with capacitance-sensing control handles and the SmartSweep control system that monitors the engine speed and automatically adjusts the cutter wheel sweep speed to maximize power to the cutter wheel while reducing engine stress. An optional remote control that gives the operator visibility and flexibility also is available. The SC70TX stump cutter has an efficient direct drive that maximizes the amount of horsepower to the 23-in. (58.4 cm) cutter wheel, and the Vermeer Yellow Jacket cutter system allows for efficient and convenient serviceability. For more information, visit Vermeer.com.
