New Keto Heads from Hakmet
Two new harvesting/processing heads, the Keto 800TS Supreme 
and
the 1000TS Supreme, were offered by Hakmet Ltd. The heads feature tapered
frame pins for easy servicing, larger 4.75-gallon oil tanks, improved saw
case and top saw mounting, as well as new track systems with non-welded
links, larger pins and bushings for pivoting and steel (or plastic) wear
pads. Improved main saw bar-motion control means less bar and chain wear,
while updates on the knife system include a throw plate in the top knife
and updated design of the moving knives. Reader Service Card #470
The Brute Wood Recycler Built
Tough
The Brute, a portable grinder for wood recycling from the wood recycling
products division of West Salem Machinery (WSM), is the 
heaviest
machine in its class and provides high volume production of a wide range
of materials. Automatic load sensing maximizes throughput and multiple
tooling options and modular sizing screens deliver quality fibre products
for a variety of markets, including mulch, compost, particleboard furnish
and boiler fuel. The electronic engine with PLC controls allows automatic
operation of the unit to maximize throughput and fuel economy. Heavy-duty
wear parts are reversible and replaceable, providing extended wear life.
Optional radio remote controls provide superior operator control. Reader

New Hydro-Buncher from Timbco
The Timbco TN475-D hydro-buncher uses the dual hydrostatic track 
drive
and high-speed implement hydraulic systems found in Timbco's levelling
machines and is designed to perform under the worst logging conditions of
rough terrain, wet swamps or tight selective cuts. Features include a
counter-weighted upper turntable, larger lifting capacity and dual main
cylinders, a larger fuel capacity, dual swing motors, custom high-rise car
body, increased cooling system capacity, 24-volt electrical system and
greased track link assemblies. Reader Service Card # 472
Versatile T-Rex Saw Chain
Sharpener
The Dinasaw T-Rex automatic chain sharpener is fast, accurate and 
versatile,
sharpening almost any size of chain from the smallest arborist chain
through to 3/4" harvester chain, including pack-cutting styles. The
T-Rex can grind up to 50 teeth per minute, sharpening both left and right
teeth in one pass. Unsequenced joins are not a problem as T-Rex's
microprocessor looks for the next tooth and corrects the grind angle
accordingly. Three operating modes ensure maximum versatility. Positive
cam operation accurately indexes and then securely clamps the teeth while
they are being sharpened. Reader Service Card # 473
Wyatt's Turns Rollers from Steel to
Rubber
Using a system developed by Wyatt's, spike steel feed rollers can 
now
be partially rubberized, limiting spike damage and bark penetration during
delimbing. The option offers a less expensive choice for contractors
switching from steel to rubber feed rollers and chains. Wyatt's also
offers an option that completely covers the exterior of the spike roller
with rubber, enabling the installation of chains. Reader Service Card #
