New BABAC tire chains New from BABC are the 5/8" and 3/4" Forestry Protection studded tire chains. These tire protection pattern chains feature the added traction benefit of the innovative U-Form studs. Each stud is welded on the flat/square side of the link to stay upright, offering constant ground contact. The tighter diamond net design provides superior tire protection and traction with six studs per diamond. Each pair of BABAC tire chains is hand-assembled for optimum quality control and 10B21 through hardened boron alloy steel is used for uniform hardness and strength throughout. www.wallingfords.com Reader Service Card #4050
DENIS CIMAF expands skid steer attachment line DENIS CIMAF has introduced the DAF-080, a new front-mounted brushcutter-chipper for skid steers. In response to the larger DAF-180, the company developed a lighter version for skid steers 65 hp and up. Under suitable terrain conditions, the DAF-080 can handle site preparation and land clearing jobs with ease, cutting down and chipping brush, bushes and unwanted tress in one pass. the DAF-080 uses 72" wide cutting rotor consisting of 25 fixed knives with bolted-on blades and features a height-adjustable attachment system. It requires continuous hydraulic flow between 25-30 gal/min, and operating pressure of 3,000 psi, and a rotating speed of 2,300 rpm. The sturdy unit is easy to maintain and the blades can be sharpened on-site with a grander, and worn-out blades quickly unbolted and replaced with new one. www.deniscimaf.com Reader Service #4051
Business Training for forest industry management Since 1981, Business Today International (BTI) has been introducing first-line supervisors through executive managers to what the company says is the world's most effective simulation-based training system. And BTI is now providing special focus on the forest industry in both Canada and the United States.

New delimber from Blount Blount, Inc, recently introduced the CTR 426 four-knife delimber with an automatic hydraulic tensioning system on the topping saw that increases productivity and minimizes chain maintenance. When the saw is activated, the hydraulic pressure applied to the tensioner arm maintains ideal chain tautness while cutting, and then relaxes the tension when de-activated. Because of the relaxed tension cycles, there is no need for manual adjustments. With a 26" throat and four knives, the delimber loads quickly and accommodates multiple stem softwood, large pine and medium hardwood. Hydraulic cushions in the three-blade cylinders increase knife life. The hydraulic reservoir holds 8.25 gallons. The 426 also features a central lube area with remote grease fittings to reduce daily maintenance. www.blount-fied.com Reader Service Card $4054
