We now carry Ariens logsplitters. These are good units designed to get the job done quickly, and may even leave a bit of change in your pocket.  We feel this unit is one of the better combinations of price and performance.  There are two models available: 27 ton and a 34 ton.  Generally we carry the 34 ton unit as the price is not much more, but you certainly gain performance and a bigger engine.

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, it is not a 'pretty finish cut' mower.  It has a tremendous capability to pretty much disintegrate anything that you can put into the blade.

This is a excellent machine for clearing walking trails used by horses, quads, mountain bikes, hikers, snowmobiles, cross country skiers, and more!  It is also good for those people who wish to mow their field once or twice a year.

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.  (Kind of an interesting mix.)

One of the advantages of this unit as opposed to a 21" rotary is that it is wider (24"), self propelled, and the blade is belt driven.  Advantage of the belt?  There are a few nasty things in your lawn, such as rocks, roots, etc. that can literally kill a simple rotary mower with 1 hit.  Since it is belt drive, the belt takes up a lot of the hit, saving the engine crankshaft.

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.  But that is just the start.  It is designed to pick up hedge clippings, gum balls, mulch, glass, and more! This aint ya momma's electrolux!

It has a 32 gallon zipperless bag that is easy to empty, rear wheel drive, and lots of suction power.

Also look at BillyGoat videos.  Little Wonder videos too.

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, but only one brand; "Mighty Mac McKissick".

You want to watch the input size, the number of knives, engine horse power, and portability. More than anything though, the cheap ones seem to push back more material out than they accept in. Plus, they'll rattle themselves to pieces. We're more than pleased with Mighty Mac McKissick, we think you will be too.

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!)
