Geo-Boy Grinders:
These heavy-duty brush grinders have 30" wide all rubber
tracks, 3.5 psi and 250 HP Liquid Cooled Cummins
Diesel. The tracks are very environmentally friendly, as they have
no metal grouser bars to denude vegetation, provide minimal ground
and soil disturbance, compaction of delicate soil and vegetation
is minimized and rutting is nearly eliminated. They are
equipped with FECON BH-250 grinder heads.
- Caterpillar
Excavators:
Custom built Cat 320 excavators with 48 inch wide tracks on
long under carriages (3.2 psi). These are swamp and forestry
excavators modified to work in the "wet world". We
have equipped our Swamp Cats with two different clearing heads.
For clearing large timber, we utilize a Weldco-Beasles 60 inch
saw head capable of removing trees through 48 inch dbh, and for
mid-story and under-story grinding we use a FECON BH-80
grinder head.
When installed on the Swamp Cats, the long reach boom gives
us the ability to lift the grinder head up to 41 feet in the
air of over the side. This allows us to remove vegetation over
and around ditches and ponds, shave trees at property lines
or firebreaks and selectively remove certain tree species. Additionally,
we have equipped our Swamp Cats with Wrist-o-Twist boom swivels.
We also have a complete inventory of digging and ditch cleanout
buckets including V-ditch buckets.
- Morooka
Tracked Support and Service Vehicles:
When ten miles from the nearest road, we depend on Morookas
to support our fleet of cutters and grinders. With excellent
capacity our Morookas carry 400 gallons of diesel fuel, welders,
generators, air compressors, 55 gallons of hydraulic oil, tools,
cutting torches, and cables.
- Support
Vehicles:
Wetlands and Woodlands Management has a full complement of
service vehicles. These include an four wheel drive
International, a former military 6x6 military fuel truck and a
fleet of our own tractor trailers and lowboys.
