Timrick

Timrick is presently developing a Tag-along slasher and will begin work in the field in the fall of 2005. It comes with its own power unit, John Deere engine, Rexroth hydraulic components, and is fully remote controlled. This unit was developed for the smaller contractor and also for the contractors that need extra slashing power, but not enough to justify two mobile units.

The Tag-along slasher allows contractors to make use of some of the other equipment they already have, (eg loggers that already have a hoe) and to boost slashing capabilities for their high production periods in the bush.
