Bob Taylor (center) and two workers use the chipper's winch to pull a section of tree trunk into place for chipping. When Hurricane Irene swept up the east coast in Tornado chipper, the firm was a welcome sight for in the Army for 20 years, and after that, I went into August 2011, it cut a wide swath of destruction, many a business and homeowner in northern corrections for another 15 years. At that point, I felt I resulting in 45 deaths and damage estimates in the Maryland. For founder and owner Bob Taylor, the needed to go in another direction career-wise and $7 billion range. While Maryland fared better than disaster, and his ability to respond to it, took his outdoor work seemed like a nice alternative. So, in 1984, I started a lawn care service.” many other mid-Atlantic and New England states, the business to a level he never anticipated. impact of this hurricane left thousands of felled trees, Change of Scenery Taylor says he started out with little more than a the result of heavy rains and tornadoes spawned by Most contractors involved in a particular field, have pickup truck and a lawnmower, focusing mostly on the storm. With every catastrophic event, however, some kind of link, even if it’s a very peripheral one, to the lawn side of things however,people started asking comes a subsequent cleanup phase. While the large that business. Not so for Bob Taylor. His desire to get if he did any work taking down and caring for trees. “Truth be told, that’s something I’ve always wanted disaster recovery specialists tend to pick up the bulk into landscaping and tree service stems more from a of that work, smaller contractors can benefit as well. need for change. to do,” he says. “So I started looking into expanding Taylor Tree and Lawn Care is one of those smaller “I have a fairly extensive background in law my business to include tree work. I made a real effort players. Armed with a crew of three and a Morbark enforcement,” he says. “I was a military police officer to better my knowledge of the industry. I lined up a few jobs and pushed forward. I had no idea how much that would change my business.” Equipment is Key To establish himself in the tree care market, Taylor knew he would need two things: a decent knowledge of the business and a solid, reliable brush chipper. The first part he tackled by educating himself, eventually testing for and earning Maryland certification as a Licensed Tree Expert. The second part was a bit trickier. Because he didn’t want to overextend himself financially, renting equipment made the most sense. So, for about the first five years, he rented brush chippers from a number of different area dealers. “Doing that kept operating costs down,” he says. “However, it also allowed me to see the good and the bad in every machine I rented. Eventually, I found myself coming back to the Morbark dealer more and more. It seemed I was always pleased with the job the Morbark did, and I really liked its reliability and durability. Based on that, and the fact that the jobs were coming in fairly regularly, I decided to purchase one outright.” All About Performance In 2005, Taylor took delivery of a Morbark Tornado 15-inch brush chipper. He says it is one of the best decisions he’s made since going into business for Edward May (L) and Bob Taylor (R) use the chipper's winch to pull branches to the chipper to begin chipping TaylorTree 4 some of the branches that have been cut from the tree.

himself. The unit is powered by a 140 hp Caterpillar engine and, as the chipper’s name implies, it easily processes trees up to 15-inches in diameter. Additional features on Taylor’s chipper include a TorqMax™ dual feed wheel compression system which generates 6,600-foot-pounds of material pulling force; a reversing auto feed system to reduce wear and increase the life of the unit’s knives; and an option that has proven invaluable: a 5,000-pound capacity hydraulic winch. “I was debating whether or not to order the chipper with the attached winch and I’m glad we did. We see it pay dividends on almost every job we do. People don’t realize how difficult it can be to get the debris to the chipper once it’s cut. Being able to hook large limbs up to winch them in, saves a lot of wear and tear on my crew and keeps things moving along.” Good Night Irene What Hurricane Irene lacked in punch by the time she got to Maryland, she more than made up for in damage. Felled trees were seemingly everywhere; many had fallen on houses. Taylor says the impact on his business was immediate and substantial. “I was already fairly busy before Irene hit, but after that, our business probably increased by 50-75 percent,” he says. “Three months after the event, I was still looking at a backlog of trees to cut and process. Mind you, that was in addition to trying to do work for my existing client base. It was just unbelievable.” “Sometimes, I had as many as ten different jobs waiting for me at one time. When that happened, we had to prioritize. We tackled the most dangerous ones first say, one in which a tree has fallen on a house, then we would go down the list. It’s tough to tell people to wait, but the customers in a situation like that really seemed to understand.” Future Looks Bright “My business has always been built on referrals and good word of mouth,” he says. “We work hard to take care of the customer and leave the property looking like we were never there, and that’s paid off. After starting the cleanup work, word spread about the quality job we do and the phone has been ringing off the hook.” He adds that the time after the storm was demanding on him, his crew and his equipment. His crew, Clayton Glassman, Steve Nichols and Pat Johnson, answered the call nicely, working overtime as needed. “This kind of work can really tax the capabilities of a machine, but I have literally not had a single issue with this chipper,” he says. “I maintain it well and that, coupled with the support of a very good dealer in Elliott and Frantz, has helped us maintain the momentum we have. We’re excited for what lies ahead.”

Ready response effort keeps Taylor Tree busy by Jon M. Casey Since Hurricane Irene came ashore a little over one year ago, Bob Taylor and his crew has been busy with his regular clientele until recently when the area was hit once again by the remnants of Hurricane Sandy. In much the same way, Taylor Tree & Lawn Care, Inc. responded to the needs of the Harford County Maryland community to assist in the cleanup effort. In late November 2012, Bob Taylor commented on the cleanup efforts by him and his crew. “We are on call for several insurance companies here in our local area,” said Bob. “When a storm like Sandy or Irene hits, we drop what we are doing and the storm damage takes priority. We were hit very hard in this area with Sandy, so we were very busy in the past several weeks.” Taylor said that the storm damage was much like the last time with trees down on houses, trucks, sheds, horse barns, all the typical kinds of structures that are targeted by the wind blown trees as they fall. “Since Irene, we received several new customers that wanted their trees pruned to prevent future damage, so that has kept us busy along with our regular customers since Irene.

The tree that we are trimming today is one with several of its branches over a shed and a gazebo. The tree made it through Sandy but it certainly could cause damage if another storm should come through. The homeowner wanted us to prune the tree back so that it would be in better shape to withstand another storm without damaging the nearby structures.” Taylor said that his business has grown in the past couple of years because of the word of mouth referrals that Taylor Tree gets and because of their excellent rating with the Better Business Bureau. “We have an A plus rating with the BBB and customers will often check with them to select a tree company or lawn service. Our past customers are our best reference. We like to walk the grounds with our customers when the job is done to make sure that we have provided the service that they expected. If they are not completely satisfied, we stay and finish the job to their satisfaction. That helps us to maintain our integrity as a local company who is here for them.” “We are extremely happy with our Morbark Chipper,” he said. “Keith Brong is here today to deliver a parts kit upgrade for our

unit. We saw a cleanout door for the discharge chute at the TCI Expo in Baltimore earlier this month, and we ordered one to install on our chipper. Keith and Jeffrey Slebzak of Elliott & Frantz, Inc. our local Morbark dealer, are dropping it off to us here today.” Edward May, one of Bob’s two regular employees who work with him on a daily basis, said that he especially likes the Morbark Chipper because of the steady feed rate that the unit has. “Other chippers that we’ve used whip the material into the infeed at such a fast rate that they whip my backside when the branches go in,” he said. “With the Morbark, the feed rate is steadier and it doesn’t leave welts on the backs of my legs.” Bob likes the reliability and durability of the chipper as well. “With regular maintenance and service, this machine runs like new,” he said. “We bought this unit new, five or six years ago and it runs as well as it did the very first day. When it is time to replace this chipper, our next one will definitely be a Morbark chipper.” For more information on Morbark Chippers and equipment, visit their website at www.morbark.com.

MTL Environmental takes on Sandy by Dave Whitelaw

Komptech Crambo 6000 helps cleanup effort With little room to spare, material on was stockpiled along the coastline where other storm damage was evident as seen in this View from Nickerson Beach Shoreline into the Parking Lot of Nickerson Beach Park. Michael Potts, owner of MTL Environmental knew had grown up in the tree business and after graduat- horizontal grinder. As he prepared for Hurricane the storm was coming so he had gone to Long Island ing from college in 2002 he was offered a job as a Sandy’s landfall, even with all that equipment at his before Hurricane Sandy made landfall on the east stock broker.

By responding to the damage from When the storm had passed and Michael had a storm. His company’s early preparations proved to be those two weather events, Michael was able to chance to assess the kind of debris that his people time well spent. acquire his first grapple truck and make a down would be dealing with, his first call was to Komptech Michael has more than a decade of storm cleanup payment on a second truck. USA. Michael knew he would need a shredder that experience that dates all the way back to the Kansas Today, he owns numerous pieces of rolling stock could handle big diameter trees, root balls and other City Ice storm and Hurricane Lily in 2002. Michael including 8 grapple trucks, 7 tractor trailers and a debris contaminated brush. He knew that he needed a Crambo 6000 low speed shredder to do the job. Potts had had previous experience with New England style storm cleanup following the big Connecticut snow storm in 2011. He knew that he would need to be able to shred large diameter wood and contaminated debris. That was necessary. So for MTL, the Crambo was the answer. As Michael explains, while Hurricane Sandy wasn’t a monster Category 3, 4 or 5 storm, it was a long, drawn out event, with winds from 45-70 mph for several days. With the ground already saturated from earlier rainfall, the big trees on Long Island had no support. Many came down. “Had Sandy had the high winds of a larger hurricane, things would have been exponentially worse,” Michael added. Just the same, the damage was historic. “Some of the stumps and root balls are the size of dump trucks,” he says. “Those stumps and big wood are something the Crambo can handle. Because of the Crambo’s low speed and high torque, there is less wear on the parts and it uses a lot less fuel. We’re able to run 24 hours a day because of the reduced maintenance time.” MTL has set up a green waste yard in Hicksville, NY where they have hundreds of thousands of yards on site. There, material comes in as raw material heads back out, shredded. At 7-10,000-yards per day, Potts says there is no time for down time. MTL, is one of the teams contracted to Looks Great Services, Inc., the company overseeing the entire cleanup effort. Looks Great Services is from nearby Huntington, NY, which is on Long Island. Michael said that Looks Great owner, Christian Agoglia, is Tree trunks go through the Crambo with as much ease as do the limbs and smaller stock.

contracted to cleanup Nassau County, NY and Michael enjoys helping them to get back to normal again. The majority of the damage from Hurricane Sandy on Long Island, came from the storm surge. Water and waves pounded the coastline and with New York and New Jersey’s many rivers and Harbors, the disaster that unfolded was devastating. In many places, much of the shoreline, the buildings, the boardwalks, docks and businesses, are gone. Inland flooding left five feet of water into many homes in Long Beach, NY. As a result, crews had to establish piles of demolition debris in local Parks throughout in the County. As the cleanup continues, working to shred or reduce the material and haul it away, will take months. Michael says storms like this will happen elsewhere in the future, and he plans for MTL to be ready and onsite as well. He says one of the reasons for his success is his relationship with his banker, Gene Columbus of Regions Bank, Memphis, TN. “We’ve built a level of trust” (with Regions Bank), that keeps the train running” he said. “When we have 70-80 trucks working at one time, “you really do” need a great relationship with your banker.” Debris Management Plan Michael says that he has some sound advice for county and municipal governments. “The nature of nature is that it is unpredictable,” he says. “Planning is the key. A Pre-Event Contract is like an insurance policy. You don’t want to have to use it, but if you need to, it is already in place. With a Debris Management Plan in place and having sites available and able to take large amounts of material — in the hundreds of thousands of yards — makes after storm cleanup more effective. They need to have larger identified sites for the storm damaged materials and then they need to know where that material will go after it is collected.” Future Plans When not on storm cleanups, Potts says that his core tree service businesses include residential and commercial tree work, land clearing and municipal yard debris contracts. MTL provides mulch and colored mulch and other landscape materials from their own green waste yards. The MTL Environmental Division also provides consulting services to assist counties and cities for creating Debris Management Plans and Pre-Event Contracts.

Steadily, the Komptech Crambo 6000 shreds the storm damaged material into coarse mulch.

From ball caps to bed frames, the debris piles contain something from every aspect of life.

Komptech’s newest factory in Oelde (NRW, Germany) recently went into operation and delivered its first machine, a Cribus 2800 trommel screen for shipment to the U.S. Komptech has factories in several locations in Europe. Its existing Oelde facility specialized in trommel screens and separation technology, and as demand for Komptech trommels continued to rise, it was obvious that a larger facility would be needed. The lease on the old plant was set to expire, so instead of renewing, the company decided that the time was right to build new from the ground up. The new factory was constructed over the course of 2012 and went into operation in early October. On October 31 the first new

trommel left the factory hall, a Cribus 2800 semitrailer. It was the first of its kind to be built anywhere, and went to a customer in the U.S. Managing director Bernd Thielepape of Komptech Germany welcomed the possibilities the new plant affords: “Our growth had simply outpaced capacity in the existing Oelde plant. Now we have room to expand, and also room to be more flexible in filling special orders. The additional stock space also lets us pre-manufacture spares so they can be available faster.” Among other things,

the larger factory features a new pass through sandblaster and a new painting and drying station, for efficient coating and rustproofing.

The facility includes 60,000-square-foot space for welding, assembly and storage, a separate 6400-square-foot painting hall, and 10,700-square-foot office space on a six acre lot.

The facility includes 60,000-squarefoot space for welding, assembly, and storage, a separate 6400-square-foot painting hall, and 10,700-square-foot office space on a six acre lot. It employs about 120 people, and is laid out to pro-

vide 4-6 week turnaround between order entry and machine delivery. Current capacity is 120 machines per year, which can be readily increased to 200 when it becomes necessary. With this new plant, Komptech has substantially added to its capacity in the expanding trommel market, and is well prepared to execute on its growth strategy for the coming years.

GrinderCrusherScreen goes to battle with Extreme Armor GrinderCrusherScreen Inc., a leader in selling used wood grinders, crushers, shredders and screening plants, has just announced the grand opening of GrinderCrusherScreen Wear Parts, a new division devoted to the sales of tips, hammers and screens for all major manufactures of wood grinders. This new expansion into the wear parts industry is a natural fit as they already sell an abundance of tub grinders and horizontal grinders throughout the United States and internationally. According to owner, Neal Kaiserman, “our customers wanted a reputable company to purchase their wear parts from. They wanted customer service and a product that will last without costing an arm and leg. Our quality is second to none and our prices are definitely less money when comparing equal parts.” As a part of this announcement, GrinderCrusherScreen Wear Parts is introducing a new revolutionary product called Extreme Armor ™. This special welding process allows for twice the carbide to be used and results in parts lasting 2-3 times longer than standard parts. The beautiful part of Extreme Armour is that it only costs 30 to 40 percent more than a normal tip. Kaiserman explains “it takes time for a customer to realize that it is ok to spend 30 to 40 percent more on a part to get 2-3 times the life. In the long run it will save the customer money, not only in parts, but also in labor.” Kaiserman predicts that after one year’s time that over 50 percent of their business will be Extreme Armor parts. “After we educate our customers and they try the

part, they will see a huge difference in longevity of the parts. We will always carry the standard parts which we are confident will stand up and exceed any part sold by an OEM. When asked if there is a huge difference between wear tips, Kaiserman said “absolutely.” A known secret in the industry is that most manufacturers do not manufacture their own tips so they buy them from companies like GrinderCrusherScreen. “I am sad to say that the majority of blanks in the industry come from the same providers from overseas and the carbide also comes from local U.S. distributors who purchase carbide from the same sources overseas. The differences in tips can be seen by the quality of weld and the amount of carbide put into each tip. Many companies cut corners and expenses by putting less carbide on the part. They do this to maximize profits. GrinderCrusherScreen Wear Parts will differentiate themselves from the others by having consistent parts that last,” he said. The Wear Parts division of GrinderCrusherScreen Inc. is unique in that it has a complete catalogue of parts on line at www.GrinderCrusherScreen. com/parts.htm categorized by grinder brand names and models. They offer carbide weld tips and solid carbide tips so they can supply almost any tip available on the market. Most suppliers of tips only sell a few sizes of tips. GrinderCrusherScreen not only offers hundreds of tips but they offer them in any weld selection that the customer requires. In addition, they can take care of your screens and hammers at ex-

tremely competitive pricing. Kaiserman claims that many suppliers of wear parts do not educate their customers and that they have little idea what they are buying. He says “many customers are shopping strictly price and do not consider the fact that not all parts are equal. For instance, screens for grinders can be made out of AR400 Plate or AR500 plate but we were surprised how many customers were receiving screens made out of mild steel. This is where buying from a reputable supplier is crucial.” In a dismal economy, GrinderCrusherScreen has grown tremendously by sticking to their beliefs that anyone can sell a machine or part, but GrinderCrusherScreen’s success relies on providing the correct machine or part for the customer’s particular application. This differentiates GrinderCrusherScreen Inc. from its competitors. For more information, call GrinderCrusherScreen Inc. at 971344-0001 (west coast) or 770-4332670 (east coast) or on line at www.GrinderCrusherScreen.com.

Putz said that the four month promotional activity that took place from July to October, was centered around entrants applying online for a chance to win. One winner was determined through the receipt of a special “golden ticket” that was randomly placed into one of the “Stay Sharp Kits” that had been sent out to fulfill customer orders for that item, during the contest period. Tim Mayer, a mechanic for the Mayer Tree Service of Essex, MA was one such winner. Mayer was on hand for the celebration of his winning. “I will be looking forward to hunting the Rio Grande Gobblers on the trip next April,” he said. “I’ve got to go home and practice my hunting skills. I haven’t been hunting in a long time.” Next year’s TCI Expo will be held at the Charlotte, NC Expo Center on November 14-16, 2013. For more information, visit the TCIA website at www.expo.tcia.org.

Vermeer HG4000 horizontal grinder offers cost conscious features ‘Crush boost’ among several new features PELLA, IOWA — The HG4000 horizontal grinder from Vermeer features a number of cost conscious features that will appeal to municipal waste facilities, pallet and sawmill operations and compost contractors. A 445 hp Tier 4i (Stage

IIIB) Fiat Powertrain Technologies diesel engine powers the HG4000 and meets all U.S., Canada and European Union emission regulations through selective catalytic reduction (SCR). This power plant has shown a considerable fuel savings over similarly powered engines in this applica-

tion. To help maximize power to the HG4000 processing functions, Vermeer uses an array of electrically powered, variable speed and reversible fans for the cooling system. This not only reduces draw of engine power, but also has shown to help reduce machine sound levels.

To reduce material slippage and maintain controlled entry into the mill, the crush boost button on the remote momentarily engages increased feed roller downforce on incoming material. For certain conditions, the variable feed roller downforce can be reduced or tem-

Vermeer is an innovative leader in the manufacturing of underground and tree-care equipment. They can also be your most valued partner in your day-to-day operations.

the operator, to boost fuel efficiency and help extend component wear life. The heart of the HG4000 is the Series II Duplex Drum, consisting of nine hammers and 18 grinder tips. This patented design decreases daily maintenance time while increasing the life of major wear components by providing the ability to reverse the grinder tips, hammers and center section of the drum. Maintenance time is decreased by the ability to remove and replace single hammers along with the ability to externally balance the drum. A range of screen configurations are compatible with the HG4000 to help meet a wide range of end product needs. With a dual-screen system, screens can be mixed and matched for the desired product. Screens are also reversible and interchangeable to maximize wear life. For overall operational efficiency, the HG4000 offers several design considerations to reduce material buildup around the machine; among them are flared infeed table sidewalls, a round top infeed chain, 60-inch wide feed table and single piece belly and discharge belt. The discharge conveyor, rated at 14-feet, can load a standard semi trailer, helping reduce the costs involved with auxiliary conveyors. Class leading trailer ground clearance enhances compatibility in off pavement applications. Bolt-in wear plates are installed on the anvil surface, mill box side plates and mill lid. This enables the economical replacement of wear surfaces without torching and welding, extending the usable life of the machine and helping to lower the cost of operation.
