Cody Neff looks at a pine forest and sees a bounty, not in timber and land, but in needles and bark.

Neff owns West Range Reclamation, which recently received a 10-year, Long Term Stewardship Contract from the U.S. Forest Service. He plans to thin 4,000 acres of forest each year in the Pike and Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forests.

Pike is part of the Pike & San Isabel National Forests and Cimarron & Comanche National Grasslands system.

“Cody looks for opportunities to use forest products,” said Pike Peak District Ranger Brent Botts. “He knows more ways to use bark, needles and small limbs than we ever thought possible.”

New RTX100 Walk Behind

Feature: Directional control/handlebar steering

Benefit: 1) This system allows all types of operators to intuitively guide the machine in the intended direction of travel with minimal effort. 2) This type of steering system eliminates the need for additional levers or steering wheels to maneuver the machine simplifying the overall operation so less training is required. 3) The directional control bar also provides an additional leverage point if tractive effort is compromised due to slippery ground conditions.

Feature: Zero turn steering

Benefit: The RTX100 can maneuver in and around confined spaces and around obstacles where other machines can not.

Feature: Interchangeable Tires/Tracks

Benefit: Interchangeable tires and tracks allow the machine to be configured for maximum productivity in varying ground conditions. A separate model platform is not required to add the other option after purchase.

Feature: Tracks

Benefit: Tracks offer increased surface contact for exceptional floatation and tractive effort, particularly in difficult ground conditions or when crossing over an existing trench. Competitive models offer tracks that are narrower, however, floatation may be compromised if the tracks become disabled in an existing trench, as they are narrower than the maximum cut of the trencher.

Feature: Hydraulic system

Benefit: The hydraulic system is designed to increase controllability and productivity.

• Equipment Details

Available from Vermeer for all SC222, SC252 and SC352 stump cutters, the patent-pending Operator Presence System was developed jointly by Vermeer and the United States National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). This breakthrough technology has never before existed on outdoor power equipment, such as a stump cutter. This system is designed to help protect the operator. With this innovative system, you can have confidence that the cutter wheel will automatically stop when the operator lets go of the hydraulic control handles for more than approximately two seconds.

The Colorado State Forest Service is awarding much-needed economic stimulus funds to 15 organizations and businesses that will create or retain more than 200 forestry-related jobs in Colorado between now and Sept. 30, 2011. Some of the jobs will last the entire grant period; others will be seasonal positions that perform on-the-ground work, which can be affected by the weather. Many positions funded by ARRA grants are expected to be sustained beyond the grant period.
