 Hauling loads of brush to the chipper takes minutes instead of hours. |
 What would take 3 men 45 minutes takes one man 5 minutes. The other bonus is that all of the entry level emplyees that break equipment and cost time and money are now working for our competitors! |
 Material handling is not an issue anymore. |
 This particular job was a removal of 8 medium to large trees. It took 2 men 1 hour to take down, chip brush and stack firewood logs for the owner. Productivity is incredible! |
 If you don't have a high capacity chipper now, you will have one after you own a Hood Jr. You can't manually feed a chipper this much brush this quick. |
 |
 The new MARK II with push bar gives you a great deal of control to place these large trunks where you want them. |

 The luxery of being able to dump the trees in the wooded area and winching them out is incredibly time saving. There is no need to take care about disrupting the landscape or driveway. Also the clean up is kept to a minimum. This was a real test of how much time the winch saves me. I slated 10 hours for this job and actual time was less than 6 hours. Not having to use the bucket truck to limb and top trees saves 40% of the time. |
 MARK II This new and innovative design is going to set the standard for grapple/winch attachments. The winch is located inside the frame where it is protected and out of the way. This allows high visibilty for the opperator. The heavy duty construction of this unit is unmatched by anything in the industry. |
 MARK II Featuring low profile and stream line design. This unit is completey custom designed. The push bar, frame work and hydraulic components allows for a free flowing design that is the most functional grapple/winch combo on the market. There simply is non better. |
I have been in contact with hundreds of tree services around the country. Most if not all owners have one thing in common........the need to improve productivity. This grapple came about out of that need.
Whether you have a small crew of 2 men or larger company of 50 employees this piece of equipment will become a vital part of your operation.
The following are the unforeseen bonuses that have made quite and impact.
FEWER EMPLOYEES All those grunts are not needed. Reduce the biggest expense you have, payroll.
FEWER CUTS I know it doesn't sound significant, but it really adds up. From saw fuel and chain to the time sharpening all the way to having to replace my saws. Instead of spending time on cutting pieces of wood and trimming limbs, I can move onto the next task. All of these things are a great bonus. This really was something that I didn't count on.
FEWER ACHES My back and arms don't ache nearly as much. All owners that work in the tree themselves know what I'm talking about. |
