DYMAX
TREE SHEAR SHINES AT COLORADO STATE U. DEMO; OFFERS HOPE TO FUELS
HAZARD REDUCTION EFFORTS!
A
Dymax 14" Forestry Tree Shear
was the
highlight
of a demonstration
conducted last fall by Colorado State University, in conjunction
with Dymax. The equipment demo clearly showed that a tracked skid
steer loader equipped with a Dymax 14" Forestry Tree Shear
is the perfect tool for fuels hazard reduction in forested areas.
Often
working on 30° slopes, the tracked machine and Dymax tree
shear easily handled tough conditions and demonstrated how the
selective thinning of heavily forested areas can reduce the risk
of forest fires. Attending the demonstration were representatives
of the USDA Forest Service, Genesee Community Fire Department,
local property owners, Colorado State Forest Service and area
contractors. Other demonstrations held since then have shown the
same results.
