Solution For Cattle Farmers

Recently we have had a number of enquires from cattle farmers in Canada for firewood processors.

Since the ban on exporting beef to the USA and other countries due to mad cow disease, the income potential for cattle farming has drastically been reduced. Such farmers have been looking for alternate ways to earn a living, or to cover the shortfall from the cattle side of the business.

The solution has come from the Chomper. A versatile firewood processor, which is also available in a PTO version. “The good thing is that I can make use of my existing tractors to drive the Chomper. The alternative would have been to sell the equipment, at a considerable loss,” says Dave, a farmer in Ontario.

For farmers with plenty of land, with trees on it, this could be an excellent way to make some income. With one of the coldest winters in history, and a raise in heating oil prices, many people are turning to wood heating.

The Chomper is good because it only needs one person to operate it, and it delivers good productivity of up to 4 chords per hour. It is mobile and easy to move to other locations around the farm.

The firewood business is also one that is not saturated, so the price per chord is not being forced down. You can sell it by the chord or by the truckload, and you can also bundle it and sell it at campgrounds and convenience stores around national parks. What you can't sell immediately, you can stack up and dry it, and dried firewood sells at a higher price.

If you are currently in the beef industry and looking to bolster your declining income with an addional business, contact us today!

Stump Grinding Opportunity

Perhaps if you know someone who would like to get into the lucrative business of stump grinding, you can tell them about our web site.

To get started in the stump grinding business, you need a pickup truck, a stump grinder, and a ramp. The self-propelled stump grinders such as the one shown on the right, will climb up the ramp with ease.

In residential areas, there are lots of homes with ugly stumps in their yards. With a stump grinding business, you come in and grind away the stump, for a fee. You can earn big income in the stump grinding business, and you don't have to climb up tall trees at risk of injury.

You should put some plywood screens around the area where you are stump grinding, to reduce chips flying into windows and causing unnecessary damage. Be sure to follow all the safety instructions in your stump grinder manual. While you are working on a job, have some students deliver flyers in the area. Soon you will have more work than you can handle.

Stump grinders are durable and will earn you a good income. You need to follow the maintenance as per the manual.

Firewood Business

Now is an excellent time to get into the firewood business. It is getting colder, and firewood consumption is on the increase. There are only about 40 such businesses listed in the yellow pages in BC, so the market is not saturated. What you will need is a good firewood processor, a source of wood, and places to sell your product.

If you are already in the business, perhaps it is time to upgrade to a larger firewood processor, so that you can increase your production and capture more of the market.

Ten Years On Original Oil Filter

This is a tale that was just so amazing, we had to share it.

In 1992, a certain parks board purchased a chipper from us. They called us recently, asking for a replacement oil filter, since they had not yet changed it. This has to be a record for the longest time without changing an oil filter. Typically the oil filter should get changed every 3-6 months depending on use. It is lucky that our chippers are built so well, or it would have broken down long ago.

If you have an amazing story about your chipper, contact us. We would love to hear about it.

Stump Grinder Heaven

Recently we noticed that a lot of people come to our site looking for stump grinders. So for all of you who get excited looking at stump grinders, we put together this page for your viewing pleasure.
