Fall Clean Up
	Ramsplitter We now carry Ramsplitter logsplitters. These are great units designed to get the job done quickly, and even leaving a bit of change in your pocket. We feel this unit is one of the best combinations of price and performance around! You owe it to yourself to stop by and check them out. Prices start at $1260 for a 5hp Honda 16 ton logsplitter, that can be towed by a tractor. As usual, the price includes freight in, assembly, hydro fluid, oil, and even some gasoline!
	BillyGoat's Outback® This is designed for serious weeds! It eats trees, brush, you name it. If you can mow over it, it will eat it. This is not a golf course mower. Mowing over cinder blocks or rocks wont hurt this bad boy! This is a woods mower. BillyGoat's High Weed® mower For nasty stuff you don't want to hit with your lawn mower, but not quite bad enough for the Outback. It cuts briars, brush, hay, and high grass. But it also does alright on a finish cut. BillyGoat's OverSeeder Uses a vertislicer to dig up the grass bed, then puts down of layer of grass seed that will grow like no tommorrow! BillyGoat's MV Vac Line Blows debris into the bag from the top. The front end is adjustable in height. It's designed to keep the nasty dust away from you, instead of in your face.
	A leaf blower makes Fall so beautiful! We carry Little Wonder and Billy Goat. We have rolling blowers from 5hp to self propelled 16hp! Talk about a hurricane! There is not better device to rid yourself of the leaves. Be aware of machine size if you have a hilly lawn (most are not self-propelled). Like everything, a good brand means everything in performance. Check out our blower info in our PRO section.

	We have access to log-splitters made by Bachtold. It is a horizontal splitter, designed to minimize log lifting (and chiropractor visits!) thru the use of a moving tray. It even has REAL transport wheels. Our Thoughts: Use a brand that is supported thru a dealer. We found that cheaper log splitters can rip themselves apart, and often have what we feel are inflated tonnage ratings as well.

	There are many types of these machines on the market. The bottom line is that some work great, some marginally, some barely! We try and filter out the great from the 'not' by our own demo uses (it has to convince us, before we can convince you!) We carry a variety of shredders from 3hp up to 23hp+. Smaller ones cost around $450, mid-size homeowner versions typically cost $1400, and big-boy toys cost $7K to $9K and more. "Mighty Mac McKissick" is our preferred brand. Our Thoughts: You want to watch the input size, the number of knives, engine horse power, and portability. More than anything though, the cheap ones push more material out than they accept in. Plus, they'll rattle themselves to pieces. We're more than pleased with Mighty Mac McKissick
Keep In Mind... Keeping any great machine great takes maintenance. Change those filters and oil! Most of the products listed here are seasonal use; this means that the if fuel is left in the machine for longer than 1 month, it starts to deteriorate. If this is left unchecked, the fuel actually turns into varnish, and becomes very costly to repair. To avoid this, treat you last tank of gas with a fuel stabilizer. After running your machine, be sure you ran all the fuel out (or empty it into a fuel can), and be sure to run the fuel completely out of the carburetor too, by letting the engine run until it quits. Now you have double protection! Keeping your equipment clean not only gives you pride in ownership, it helps you detect hidden problems. Last but not least... always wear appropriate safety gear, including ear, eye, and head protection! We carry a full line of protection devices. If the equipment is new to you, we always provide equipment use demonstrations. No question is too ridiculous, only those not asked (and we don't have pop quizzes!)
