    Mini skid-steers?

    Ill second this. Ive had a vermeer for 1 1/2 yrs now. Its a great machine. It saves a lot of time vs. bucking stuff up and picking up by hand. Mine has tracks and if your not careful, you can tear up the yard. also, the vermeer machine will pick up high enough to clear a 5' fence...

    Iowa Flood 2008

    Wishing you the best... to answer your original question about the trees-a lot will depend on how long the water stays or receeds. the deciduous trees should come out of it okay. cedars and pines maybe not. I was working in N. Minnesota in 93 when the last one hit. I remember coming...

    Last 440 or 460?

    Id buy the 460 and leave it in the box till the other craps out for good. From what Ive heard, the 460 is going to be on the way out in 2-3 yrs and the 440 is what youll end up with. Its all about the emissions things.

    Fertilizing...when to do it?

    If you truly want to do it RIGHT, insist to every customer that you need to do a soil test in order to acuratly give the tree the proper nutrients. If they arent willing to spend an extra $25-50 for a soil test, then they really dont want whats best.
