When Hurricane Irene swept up the east coast inAugust 2011, it cut a wide swath of destruction,resulting in 45 deaths and damage estimates in the$7 billion range. While Maryland fared better thanmany other mid-Atlantic and New England states, theimpact of this hurricane left thousands of felled trees,the result of heavy rains and tornadoes spawned bythe storm. With every catastrophic event, however,comes a subsequent cleanup phase. While the largedisaster recovery specialists tend to pick up the bulkof that work, smaller contractors can benefit as well.

Taylor Tree and Lawn Care is one of those smallerplayers. Armed with a crew of three and a Morbark

Tornado chipper, the firm was a welcome sight formany a business and homeowner in northernMaryland. For founder and owner Bob Taylor, thedisaster, and his ability to respond to it, took hisbusiness to a level he never anticipated.

Change of SceneryMost contractors involved in a particular field, have

some kind of link, even if it’s a very peripheral one, tothat business. Not so for Bob Taylor. His desire to getinto landscaping and tree service stems more from aneed for change.

“I have a fairly extensive background in lawenforcement,” he says. “I was a military police officer

in the Army for 20 years, and after that, I went intocorrections for another 15 years. At that point, I felt Ineeded to go in another direction career-wise andoutdoor work seemed like a nice alternative. So, in1984, I started a lawn care service.”

Taylor says he started out with little more than apickup truck and a lawnmower, focusing mostly onthe lawn side of things however,people started askingif he did any work taking down and caring for trees.

“Truth be told, that’s something I’ve always wantedto do,” he says. “So I started looking into expandingmy business to include tree work. I made a real effortto better my knowledge of the industry. I lined up afew jobs and pushed forward. I had no idea howmuch that would change my business.”

Equipment is KeyTo establish himself in the tree care market, Taylor

knew he would need two things: a decent knowledgeof the business and a solid, reliable brush chipper.The first part he tackled by educating himself, even-tually testing for and earning Maryland certificationas a Licensed Tree Expert. The second part was a bittrickier. Because he didn’t want to overextend himselffinancially, renting equipment made the most sense.So, for about the first five years, he rented brushchippers from a number of different area dealers.

“Doing that kept operating costs down,” he says.“However, it also allowed me to see the good and thebad in every machine I rented. Eventually, I foundmyself coming back to the Morbark dealer more andmore. It seemed I was always pleased with the job theMorbark did, and I really liked its reliability anddurability. Based on that, and the fact that the jobswere coming in fairly regularly, I decided to purchaseone outright.”

All About PerformanceIn 2005, Taylor took delivery of a Morbark Tornado

15-inch brush chipper. He says it is one of the bestdecisions he’s made since going into business for

himself. The unit is powered by a 140 hp Caterpillarengine and, as the chipper’s name implies, it easilyprocesses trees up to 15-inches in diameter.

Additional features on Taylor’s chipper include aTorqMax™ dual feed wheel compression systemwhich generates 6,600-foot-pounds of materialpulling force; a reversing auto feed system to reducewear and increase the life of the unit’s knives; and anoption that has proven invaluable: a 5,000-poundcapacity hydraulic winch.

“I was debating whether or not to order the chipperwith the attached winch and I’m glad we did. We seeit pay dividends on almost every job we do. Peopledon’t realize how difficult it can be to get the debris tothe chipper once it’s cut. Being able to hook largelimbs up to winch them in, saves a lot of wear andtear on my crew and keeps things moving along.”

Good Night IreneWhat Hurricane Irene lacked in punch by the time

she got to Maryland, she more than made up for indamage. Felled trees were seemingly everywhere;many had fallen on houses. Taylor says the impact onhis business was immediate and substantial.

“I was already fairly busy before Irene hit, but afterthat, our business probably increased by 50-75 per-cent,” he says. “Three months after the event, I wasstill looking at a backlog of trees to cut and process.Mind you, that was in addition to trying to do work formy existing client base. It was just unbelievable.”

“Sometimes, I had as many as ten different jobswaiting for me at one time. When that happened, wehad to prioritize. We tackled the most dangerous onesfirst say, one in which a tree has fallen on a house,then we would go down the list. It’s tough to tellpeople to wait, but the customers in a situation likethat really seemed to understand.”

Future Looks Bright“My business has always been built on referrals

and good word of mouth,” he says. “We work hard totake care of the customer and leave the property look-ing like we were never there, and that’s paid off. Afterstarting the cleanup work, word spread about thequality job we do and the phone has been ringing offthe hook.”

He adds that the time after the storm was demand-ing on him, his crew and his equipment. His crew,Clayton Glassman, Steve Nichols and Pat Johnson,answered the call nicely, working overtime as needed.

“This kind of work can really tax the capabilities ofa machine, but I have literally not had a single issuewith this chipper,” he says. “I maintain it well andthat, coupled with the support of a very good dealerin Elliott and Frantz, has helped us maintain themomentum we have. We’re excited for what liesahead.”

by Jon M. CaseySince Hurricane Irene came

ashore a little over one year ago,Bob Taylor and his crew has beenbusy with his regular clienteleuntil recently when the area washit once again by the remnants ofHurricane Sandy. In much thesame way, Taylor Tree & LawnCare, Inc. responded to the needsof the Harford County Marylandcommunity to assist in thecleanup effort. In late November2012, Bob Taylor commented onthe cleanup efforts by him and hiscrew.

“We are on call for several insur-ance companies here in our localarea,” said Bob. “When a stormlike Sandy or Irene hits, we dropwhat we are doing and the stormdamage takes priority. We were hitvery hard in this area with Sandy,so we were very busy in the pastseveral weeks.”

Taylor said that the stormdamage was much like the lasttime with trees down on houses,trucks, sheds, horse barns, all thetypical kinds of structures thatare targeted by the wind blowntrees as they fall. “Since Irene, wereceived several new customersthat wanted their trees pruned toprevent future damage, so thathas kept us busy along with ourregular customers since Irene.

The tree that we are trimmingtoday is one with several of itsbranches over a shed and a gaze-bo. The tree made it throughSandy but it certainly couldcause damage if another stormshould come through. The home-owner wanted us to prune the treeback so that it would be in bettershape to withstand another stormwithout damaging the nearbystructures.”

Taylor said that his businesshas grown in the past couple ofyears because of the word ofmouth referrals that Taylor Treegets and because of their excellentrating with the Better BusinessBureau. “We have an A plus ratingwith the BBB and customers willoften check with them to select atree company or lawn service. Ourpast customers are our best refer-ence. We like to walk the groundswith our customers when the jobis done to make sure that we haveprovided the service that theyexpected. If they are not complete-ly satisfied, we stay and finish thejob to their satisfaction. Thathelps us to maintain our integrityas a local company who is here forthem.”

“We are extremely happy withour Morbark Chipper,” he said.“Keith Brong is here today todeliver a parts kit upgrade for our

unit. We saw a cleanout door forthe discharge chute at the TCIExpo in Baltimore earlier thismonth, and we ordered one toinstall on our chipper. Keith andJeffrey Slebzak of Elliott & Frantz,Inc. our local Morbark dealer, aredropping it off to us here today.”

Edward May, one of Bob’s tworegular employees who work withhim on a daily basis, said that heespecially likes the MorbarkChipper because of the steadyfeed rate that the unit has. “Otherchippers that we’ve used whip thematerial into the infeed at such afast rate that they whip my back-side when the branches go in,” hesaid. “With the Morbark, the feedrate is steadier and it doesn’t leavewelts on the backs of my legs.”

Bob likes the reliability anddurability of the chipper as well.“With regular maintenance andservice, this machine runs likenew,” he said. “We bought thisunit new, five or six years ago andit runs as well as it did the veryfirst day. When it is time toreplace this chipper, our next onewill definitely be a Morbark chip-per.”

Michael Potts, owner of MTL Environmental knewthe storm was coming so he had gone to Long Islandbefore Hurricane Sandy made landfall on the eastcoast. As part of a first response team, MTLEnvironmental had prepositioned equipment, peopleand supplies to await the October 29 landfall of thestorm. His company’s early preparations proved to betime well spent.

Michael has more than a decade of storm cleanupexperience that dates all the way back to the KansasCity Ice storm and Hurricane Lily in 2002. Michael

had grown up in the tree business and after graduat-ing from college in 2002 he was offered a job as astock broker. His past experience had him soonrealizing that he made more money in the tree busi-ness. It wasn’t long thereafter, before Michael startedhis own company. By responding to the damage fromthose two weather events, Michael was able toacquire his first grapple truck and make a downpayment on a second truck.

Today, he owns numerous pieces of rolling stockincluding 8 grapple trucks, 7 tractor trailers and a

horizontal grinder. As he prepared for HurricaneSandy’s landfall, even with all that equipment at hisdisposal, Michael could see that he would need some-thing more to help him get the job done once Sandywas gone.

When the storm had passed and Michael had achance to assess the kind of debris that his peoplewould be dealing with, his first call was to KomptechUSA. Michael knew he would need a shredder thatcould handle big diameter trees, root balls and otherdebris contaminated brush. He knew that he neededa Crambo 6000 low speed shredder to do the job.

Potts had had previous experience with NewEngland style storm cleanup following the bigConnecticut snow storm in 2011. He knew that hewould need to be able to shred large diameter woodand contaminated debris. That was necessary. So forMTL, the Crambo was the answer.

As Michael explains, while Hurricane Sandy wasn’ta monster Category 3, 4 or 5 storm, it was a long,drawn out event, with winds from 45-70 mph forseveral days. With the ground already saturated fromearlier rainfall, the big trees on Long Island had nosupport. Many came down. “Had Sandy had the highwinds of a larger hurricane, things would have beenexponentially worse,” Michael added.

Just the same, the damage was historic. “Some ofthe stumps and root balls are the size of dumptrucks,” he says. “Those stumps and big wood aresomething the Crambo can handle. Because of theCrambo’s low speed and high torque, there is lesswear on the parts and it uses a lot less fuel. We’reable to run 24 hours a day because of the reducedmaintenance time.”

MTL has set up a green waste yard in Hicksville, NYwhere they have hundreds of thousands of yards onsite. There, material comes in as raw material headsback out, shredded. At 7-10,000-yards per day, Pottssays there is no time for down time.

MTL, is one of the teams contracted to Looks GreatServices, Inc., the company overseeing the entirecleanup effort. Looks Great Services is from nearbyHuntington, NY, which is on Long Island. Michaelsaid that Looks Great owner, Christian Agoglia, is

With little room to spare, material on was stockpiled along the coastline where other storm damage was evident as seen in this View from Nickerson Beach Shoreline intothe Parking Lot of Nickerson Beach Park.

contracted to cleanup Nassau County, NY andMichael enjoys helping them to get back to normalagain.

The majority of the damage from Hurricane Sandyon Long Island, came from the storm surge. Waterand waves pounded the coastline and with New Yorkand New Jersey’s many rivers and Harbors, the dis-aster that unfolded was devastating. In many places,much of the shoreline, the buildings, the boardwalks,docks and businesses, are gone. Inland flooding leftfive feet of water into many homes in Long Beach, NY.As a result, crews had to establish piles of demolitiondebris in local Parks throughout in the County. Asthe cleanup continues, working to shred or reducethe material and haul it away, will take months.

Michael says storms like this will happen elsewherein the future, and he plans for MTL to be ready andonsite as well. He says one of the reasons for hissuccess is his relationship with his banker, GeneColumbus of Regions Bank, Memphis, TN. “We’vebuilt a level of trust” (with Regions Bank), that keepsthe train running” he said. “When we have 70-80trucks working at one time, “you really do” need agreat relationship with your banker.”

Debris Management PlanMichael says that he has some sound advice for

county and municipal governments. “The nature ofnature is that it is unpredictable,” he says. “Planningis the key. A Pre-Event Contract is like an insurancepolicy. You don’t want to have to use it, but if youneed to, it is already in place. With a DebrisManagement Plan in place and having sites availableand able to take large amounts of material — in thehundreds of thousands of yards — makes after stormcleanup more effective. They need to have larger iden-tified sites for the storm damaged materials and thenthey need to know where that material will go after itis collected.”

Future PlansWhen not on storm cleanups, Potts says that his

core tree service businesses include residential andcommercial tree work, land clearing and municipalyard debris contracts. MTL provides mulch andcolored mulch and other landscape materials fromtheir own green waste yards.

The MTL Environmental Division also providesconsulting services to assist counties and cities forcreating Debris Management Plans and Pre-EventContracts. For more information on MTLEnvironmental at Michael’s Tree and Loader Service,call 901-301-4682 or visit their website atwww.mtlmemphis.com.

Steadily, the Komptech Crambo 6000 shreds the storm damaged material into coarse mulch.

This collection site is a busy place with material coming in to Cantiague Park, from damaged areas of NassauCounty.

Tree stumps larger than a small car are regularlyarriving at the collection site.

From ball caps to bed frames, the debris piles containsomething from every aspect of life.

Atop the pile of shredded material, the size of thecleanup that is underway is mind numbing. The GreenWaste Site is operated by Michaels Tree and LoaderService, Memphis, TN.

Komptech has factories in several lo-cations in Europe. Its existing Oelde fa-cility specialized in trommel screensand separation technology, and as de-mand for Komptech trommels contin-ued to rise, it was obvious that a largerfacility would be needed. The lease onthe old plant was set to expire, so in-stead of renewing, the company decidedthat the time was right to build newfrom the ground up. The new factorywas constructed over the course of2012 and went into operation in earlyOctober. On October 31 the first new

trommel left the factory hall, a Cribus2800 semitrailer. It was the first of itskind to be built anywhere, and went toa customer in the U.S.

Managing director Bernd Thielepapeof Komptech Germany welcomed thepossibilities the new plant affords: “Ourgrowth had simply outpaced capacity inthe existing Oelde plant. Now we haveroom to expand, and also room to bemore flexible in filling special orders.The additional stock space also lets uspre-manufacture spares so they can beavailable faster.” Among other things,

the larger factory features a new passthrough sandblaster and a new paintingand drying station, for efficient coatingand rustproofing.

The facility includes 60,000-square-foot space for welding, assembly, andstorage, a separate 6400-square-footpainting hall, and 10,700-square-footoffice space on a six acre lot. It employsabout 120 people, and is laid out to pro-

vide 4-6 week turnaround between or-der entry and machine delivery. Currentcapacity is 120 machines per year,which can be readily increased to 200when it becomes necessary.

With this new plant, Komptech hassubstantially added to its capacity inthe expanding trommel market, and iswell prepared to execute on its growthstrategy for the coming years.

GrinderCrusherScreen Inc., a leaderin selling used wood grinders, crushers,shredders and screening plants, hasjust announced the grand opening ofGrinderCrusherScreen Wear Parts, anew division devoted to the sales of tips,hammers and screens for all majormanufactures of wood grinders. Thisnew expansion into the wear parts in-dustry is a natural fit as they alreadysell an abundance of tub grinders andhorizontal grinders throughout theUnited States and internationally.

According to owner, Neal Kaiserman,“our customers wanted a reputablecompany to purchase their wear partsfrom. They wanted customer serviceand a product that will last withoutcosting an arm and leg. Our quality issecond to none and our prices are def-initely less money when comparingequal parts.”

As a part of this announcement,GrinderCrusherScreen Wear Parts is in-troducing a new revolutionary productcalled Extreme Armor ™. This specialwelding process allows for twice the car-bide to be used and results in partslasting 2-3 times longer than standardparts. The beautiful part of Extreme Ar-mour is that it only costs 30 to 40 per-cent more than a normal tip.

Kaiserman explains “it takes time fora customer to realize that it is ok tospend 30 to 40 percent more on a partto get 2-3 times the life. In the long runit will save the customer money, notonly in parts, but also in labor.” Kaiser-man predicts that after one year’s timethat over 50 percent of their businesswill be Extreme Armor parts. “After weeducate our customers and they try the

part, they will see a huge difference inlongevity of the parts. We will alwayscarry the standard parts which we areconfident will stand up and exceed anypart sold by an OEM.

When asked if there is a huge differ-ence between wear tips, Kaiserman said“absolutely.” A known secret in the in-dustry is that most manufacturers donot manufacture their own tips so theybuy them from companies like Grinder-CrusherScreen.

“I am sad to say that the majority ofblanks in the industry come from thesame providers from overseas and thecarbide also comes from local U.S. dis-tributors who purchase carbide fromthe same sources overseas. The differ-ences in tips can be seen by the qualityof weld and the amount of carbide putinto each tip. Many companies cut cor-ners and expenses by putting less car-bide on the part. They do this to maxi-mize profits. GrinderCrusherScreenWear Parts will differentiate themselvesfrom the others by having consistentparts that last,” he said.

The Wear Parts division of Grinder-CrusherScreen Inc. is unique in that ithas a complete catalogue of parts online at www.GrinderCrusherScreen.com/parts.htm categorized by grinderbrand names and models. They offercarbide weld tips and solid carbide tipsso they can supply almost any tip avail-able on the market. Most suppliers oftips only sell a few sizes of tips.GrinderCrusherScreen not only offershundreds of tips but they offer them inany weld selection that the customer re-quires. In addition, they can take careof your screens and hammers at ex-

tremely competitive pricing. Kaisermanclaims that many suppliers of wearparts do not educate their customersand that they have little idea what theyare buying. He says “many customersare shopping strictly price and do notconsider the fact that not all parts areequal. For instance, screens forgrinders can be made out of AR400Plate or AR500 plate but we were sur-prised how many customers were re-ceiving screens made out of mild steel.This is where buying from a reputablesupplier is crucial.”

In a dismal economy, GrinderCrush-erScreen has grown tremendously bysticking to their beliefs that anyonecan sell a machine or part, butGrinderCrusherScreen’s success relieson providing the correct machine orpart for the customer’s particular ap-plication. This differentiates Grinder-CrusherScreen Inc. from its competi-tors.

Despite taking place a little more than a week afterhistory making Hurricane Sandy ravaged the Mid-Atlantic region, and only one day after an earlynor’easter just missed Baltimore to the north andeast, people from the tree care industry from acrossthe U.S. began arriving at this year’s 2012 Tree CareIndustry Expo 2012. Beginning November 8, andrunning through November 10, this annual eventfeatured dozens of training sessions as well as a tradeshow to help industry professionals learn more abouthow to do a better job in their chosen professions.With sessions ranging from the Electrical Hazards

Awareness Program to Creating a DiseaseManagement Control Program for 2013, attendeescould learn as much or as little as they desired dur-ing their time at the expo. For those who arrivedearly, there were even pre-conference workshops forprofessionals to attend on Wednesday November 7.

“I enjoyed the presentation on the Buying Power ofWomen and Boomers,” said Greg Ehm, of Two RiversMarketing, Des Moines, Iowa. “Learning more aboutthose two demographics is very helpful to what we doas we represent Vermeer®, makers of environmentalheavy equipment including such products as tree

chippers and grinders of different kinds. It was a veryinformative session.”

For others, who were more interested in shoppingfor new products or services, the TCI Expo hosted atrade show that included several interactive trainingsessions and equipment providers who were equallywilling to explain the features and benefits of theirequipment or training services for attendees in theirrespective exhibits.

At intervals throughout the day, Tree Demos, facil-itated by North American Training Solutions, wereconducted in the center of the trade show area.Topics such as “Rigging with Mechanical Advantage”and “The Ergonomics of Work Positioning” drewdozens of spectators during each of four daily pre-sentations. Worker safety and health remained at theforefront of all of the presentations.

During Thursday afternoon’s events, Bellana Putzof Vermeer Corporation, hosted a brief sweepstakeswinner’s ceremony where one of the ten winners of anall expenses paid hunting trip to a destination inShamrock, Texas was presented with his prize.

Putz said that the four month promotional activitythat took place from July to October, was centeredaround entrants applying online for a chance to win.One winner was determined through the receipt of aspecial “golden ticket” that was randomly placed intoone of the “Stay Sharp Kits” that had been sent out tofulfill customer orders for that item, during thecontest period. Tim Mayer, a mechanic for the MayerTree Service of Essex, MA was one such winner.Mayer was on hand for the celebration of his winning.

“I will be looking forward to hunting the Rio GrandeGobblers on the trip next April,” he said. “I’ve got togo home and practice my hunting skills. I haven’tbeen hunting in a long time.”

Next year’s TCI Expo will be held at the Charlotte,NC Expo Center on November 14-16, 2013. For moreinformation, visit the TCIA website atwww.expo.tcia.org.

During each day of the show, several demonstrations like this one, captured the attention of show goers. Here, instructors from North American Training Solutions (NATS)talk to attendees about “Tree Worker Trigonometry.”

‘Crush boost’ amongseveral new featuresPELLA, IOWA — The

HG4000 horizontalgrinder from Vermeer fea-tures a number of costconscious features thatwill appeal to municipalwaste facilities, pallet andsawmill operations andcompost contractors.

A 445 hp Tier 4i (Stage

IIIB) Fiat PowertrainTechnologies diesel en-gine powers the HG4000and meets all U.S., Cana-da and European Unionemission regulationsthrough selective catalyt-ic reduction (SCR). Thispower plant has shown aconsiderable fuel savingsover similarly poweredengines in this applica-

tion. To help maximizepower to the HG4000processing functions,Vermeer uses an array ofelectrically powered, vari-able speed and reversiblefans for the cooling sys-tem. This not only re-duces draw of enginepower, but also hasshown to help reduce ma-chine sound levels.

To reduce material slip-page and maintain con-trolled entry into the mill,the crush boost buttonon the remote momentar-ily engages increased feedroller downforce on in-coming material. For cer-tain conditions, the vari-able feed roller downforcecan be reduced or tem-

porarily paused, as ad-justed on the fly or set by

the operator, to boost fuelefficiency and help ex-tend component wear life.

The heart of theHG4000 is the Series IIDuplex Drum, consistingof nine hammers and 18grinder tips. This patenteddesign decreases dailymaintenance time whileincreasing the life of majorwear components by pro-viding the ability to reversethe grinder tips, hammersand center section of thedrum. Maintenance timeis decreased by the abilityto remove and replace sin-gle hammers along withthe ability to externallybalance the drum.

A range of screen config-urations are compatiblewith the HG4000 to helpmeet a wide range of endproduct needs. With adual-screen system,screens can be mixed andmatched for the desiredproduct. Screens are alsoreversible and interchange-able to maximize wear life.

For overall operationalefficiency, the HG4000 of-fers several design consid-erations to reduce materi-al buildup around the ma-chine; among them areflared infeed table side-walls, a round top infeedchain, 60-inch wide feedtable and single piece bel-ly and discharge belt. Thedischarge conveyor, ratedat 14-feet, can load astandard semi trailer,helping reduce the costsinvolved with auxiliaryconveyors. Class leadingtrailer ground clearanceenhances compatibility inoff pavement applications.

Bolt-in wear plates areinstalled on the anvil sur-face, mill box side platesand mill lid. This enablesthe economical replace-ment of wear surfaceswithout torching andwelding, extending theusable life of the machineand helping to lower thecost of operation.
