Industry Returns for 84th Oregon Logging Conference Papé Machinery had a massive outdoor display area with equipment for everyone, including this John Deere 350G LC excavator loading into a Kleemann jaw crusher MOBICAT MC 110 EVO2, which is used for the pre-crushing of almost all natural rock and in recycling aggregate material products.

The 84th Annual Oregon Logging Conference was held at the Lane Event Center and Fairgrounds in Eugene, Ore., from Feb. 24 to 26, 2022. The event brought industry professionals back together for an in-person gathering after a scaled-down version of the event was held in 2021 due to the pandemic.

“After the last two years, the best thing about this year is getting back together,” 2021/2022 OLC President Scott Melcher, of Melcher Logging in Sweet Home said. “I think that’s one of the strengths, the connectivity and the bonds that we have,” he added. “We might be competing against each other one day, and the next we’re sitting down talking and sharing ideas.”

More equipment was on display outdoors compared to previous years, according to Conference Manager Rikki Wellman.

Seminars, Panel Discussions Topics of current interest were discussed at the 84th Annual Oregon Logging Conference, while many of those attending earned Professional Logger credits to stay certified and up to date on several issues. Topics addressed included: • The Private Forest Accord; • A changing labor force (better ideas/new technology in logging);

• Reducing worker stress and fatigue from day-today equipment operation; • Your voice, your vote counts; • Log damage caused by modern processing equipment; • Oregon and Washington Forest Practices Act sem-

inars.

“The Oregon Logging Conference is packed with unique opportunities for forestry and natural resource professionals to network and learn more about their trades,” said Wellman. see CONFERENCE page 10

Canby Landscape Supply Leans On Doosan, Feenaughty Canby Landscape Supply purchased the DL320-7 wheel loader with a light-material rollout bucket.

At its facility, operators use the DL320-7 to load aggregate, compost and bark dust, and LaLonde said one bucket scoop will fill the bed on most trucks.

Tommy LaLonde

Tommy LaLonde previously worked as a general manager of a large concrete supplier. Now, in his “retirement job,” he oversees day-to-day operations at Canby Landscape Supply in Canby, Ore. The company’s relationship with Doosan and the local dealer started with renting a Doosan excavator.

That led to the purchase of two Doosan wheel loaders, including a new DL320-7 in summer 2021. LaLonde and the operators are pleased with the support from Feenaughty Machinery, particularly from a sales and service perspective. And it doesn’t hurt that the dealership is only 45 minutes away from the company, so parts are readily available.

According to LaLonde, the operators were satisfied with the company’s first Doosan wheel loader — the DL300-5 — and they still are. But having spent time in the machine’s successor, the DL320-7, they appreciate the many new wheel loader enhancements.

“Talking with the crew,” LaLonde said, “they believe the DL320-7 is more operator-friendly than our DL300-5. They say there is more information available at their fingertips. They like the new readouts on the touch screen display in the cab. They also tell me the DL320-7 is more stable than our DL300-5, and they call the components ‘heavy-duty.’”

Full-Service Supplier Canby Landscape Supply is a compost material company and a supplier to homeowners, landscapers and public works departments. The firm sells aggregates, stone, compost, bark — any material that would be needed for landscaping.

The company has been in business for more than 40 years and uses a variety of construction equipment to handle its materials. Throughout the composting process, the Doosan wheel loaders help fill the compost turners and trommels for making compost and topsoil. A requirement of any construction equipment at the facility is good visibility from inside the machine’s cab.

“We work in the same yard as the customers who are coming in to pick up their materials,” LaLonde said. “The need for visibility is a safety issue. We want to be able to see around the machine. The ability to use the rearview camera improves visibility and helps with the safety of our employees.”

The redesigned cab of the -7 Series wheel loaders has a total glass area that is 14 percent larger. Also, a full glass door improves visibility on the left side. see CANBY page 14

SENNEBOGEN Vario Tool Helps Pacific Steel Complete Jobs

SENNEBOGEN’s new Vario Tool quick change system lets Pacific Steel turn its 830 R-HD material handler into a mobile shear in just 2 minutes, without leaving the cab.

The Vario Tool gives recyclers complete flexibility to deploy one machine to any operation, switching between the hydraulic shear and a grapple, clamshell bucket, scrap magnet or any other standard attachment.

When Kelly Frantzich went shopping for new material handlers for Pacific Steel & Recycling, he got more than he bargained for.

The company’s management team had agreed that some of its smaller yards, located throughout the northwest, needed more processing capacity. Frantzich, as the firm’s equipment manager, was fielding requests to several OEMs for mobile shears mounted on a wheeled machine. Colleen Miller, at SENNEBOGEN, said yes to the request, then anted up with an 830 M paired with a new engineered multi-function system that SENNEBOGEN had recently introduced in Europe.

As Miller explained to the Pacific Steel managers, the new SENNEBOGEN Vario Tool would give their yards a mobile shear that could still perform traditional scraphandling duties.

The Vario Tool is like an oversized Swiss Army knife, designed especially for scrap processing and demolition work. A unique coupling system connects the boom and a custom stick to any one of several familiar attachments including a shear, orange peel grapple, clamshell bucket, lifting hooks or even a magnet without having to get out of the machine.

“Adding a new 830 with the Vario Tool attachment seemed to make sense,” he said.

“The 830, with its high-flow hydraulics circuit, has plenty of power to run the shear. It will be a scrap-handler most of the time but it will also fill in as a shear. It’s less costly to buy one machine versus two; it gives us more options and it’s able to cover both of the other machines if one goes down.

“Our main demand is unloading customers, feeding balers, loading trucks.

Right now, our shear is out of the yard on a large project, so we have the 830 filling in with the shear. This allows us to offer more services to our clients without sacrificing productivity in the yard.

“Changing the attachments is very easy and can be done in under two minutes We will be mounting a camera on the boom to give the operator a better look when coupling. It will get even quicker as they get more experienced with it.”

Improved Machine Utilization According to Frantzich, “We were intrigued by the idea for some of our smaller yards where we don’t get full utilization

of a shear machine and material handler. Or it might be a good fit for larger yards where we’re doing some offloading, plus we get the shear too.

“The Vario Tool is designed to complete all the required connections for each attachment automatically, so operators are able to switch from one to another, in two minutes or less, without leaving the cab.”

With the Vario Tool system installed on a wheeled SENNEBOGEN 825, 830, or 835, Frantzich said having one machine able to do two jobs or more, would allow significant savings, compared to a single-use machine that would otherwise be utilized only 15 to 20 percent of the time.

More Options Jack Stoken, operations manager at Pacific Steel’s facility in Kalispell, Mont., agreed. Stoken’s yard was the first to receive one of the three Vario Tool machines that Pacific Steel has ordered.

“We are mid to smaller sized yard for this company with our scrap iron business. We have a scrap handler and we have a Genesis shear on another machine. We handle a lot of shred here, with relatively little heavy iron. But we needed a little bit more capacity because we were falling behind in our processing.”

Stoken’s SENNEBOGEN 830 M arrived equipped with the Vario Tool and two attachments: A Genesis 555 rotator shear and a hydraulic grapple.

Service Support a Deciding Factor The staff in Kalispell also is pleased with their new unit. The 830 M is larger than their older scrap handler. Operators appreciate the comfort of SENNEBOGEN’s elevating Maxcab, and they appreciate its quiet running. The maintenance crew finds the machine accessible and easy to service.

“Colleen [Miller] pointed out the effort that SENNEBOGEN put in to make it userfriendly for us to maintain, where other

OEMs want to bring their own tech out.

That adds a lot of extra expense and time that doesn’t need to be there.”

Stoken said that, along with the Vario Tool feature, service support was a deciding factor in going with SENNEBOGEN. One of Stoken’s technicians is among a group of seven Pacific Steel & Recycling staff who were enrolled in the hands-on factory training program at SENNEBOGEN’s Training Center in Charlotte, N.C. The yard also is supported by a local heavy equipment shop who now have a factory-trained SENNEBOGEN mechanic on their team. Located just 10 minutes from the Pacific Steel facility, they were quick to enroll in SENNEBOGEN’s ASP — Authorized Service Provider program. ASP shops receive the same training and same access to parts as a SENNEBOGEN distributor.

“Over the years, they have done a great job for us,” Stoken said, and the same service crew can continue servicing all of the Kalispell fleet.

Pacific Steel has been working with SENNEBOGEN machines in various locations since 2007.

“SENNEBOGEN has proven themselves to us,” said Frantzich. “They are in for the long haul; material handlers is all they do. It’s a good quality product.”

Wash. Gov. Signs $17 Billion Transportation Package OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) A nearly $17 billion, 16-year transportation revenue package that will pay for a variety of projects across the state, including building four new hybrid electric ferries, was signed recently by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee.

Inslee split his signing ceremonies between two cities, starting the morning at the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal to sign the revenue portion of the package. Later in the afternoon, he was to head to Tacoma to sign the bill that covers the projects paid for by the package.

“There is no way to tackle climate change without tackling transportation and that's what these bills do,” Inslee said. “In this package we're entwining the ability to get better, more efficient transportation with the way to save our climate.”

The plan gets $5.4 billion of its funding from a carbon pricing program signed into law last year that requires the state's largest emitters, like refineries, to purchase credits for allowed emissions if they exceed a cap set by regulators. The rest comes from several other sources, including federal infrastructure money, funding from the state budget, and higher fees on enhanced licenses and license plates.

In addition to the new ferries, it electrifies

two existing ferries and provides funding for more walking and biking corridors, highway maintenance and fulfilling the state's courtordered obligation to replace fish passage culverts. Funding is also provided to ensure that those age 18 and younger can ride for free on public transportation, including the state's ferries and Amtrak.

It also pays for the state's share of the cost — $1 billion — to replace the Interstate 5 bridge over the Columbia River that connects Washington and Oregon.

Republicans, who are the minority party

The plan gets $5.4 billion of its funding from a carbon pricing program signed into law last year that requires the state’s largest emitters, like refineries, to purchase credits for allowed emissions if they exceed a cap set by regulators. Funds also will pay for the state’s share of the cost — $1 billion — to replace the Interstate 5 bridge over the Columbia River that connects Washington and Oregon.

in both chambers, continued to express frustration that they weren't part of what has normally been a bipartisan process in the past, and said that the new fees people will pay will affect residents already dealing with high inflation and rising gas prices.

The cost for a new enhanced license or

ID, which people will ultimately need to fly domestically under the REAL ID Act if they don't have a passport or other qualifying identification, will increase from the current $78 for a six-year license to $96. And the cost for a license plate for a new car will increase from $10 to $50.

And the fee new residents pay when first registering their car in Washington to check that it isn't stolen will increase from $15 to $50 on July 1 and then to $75 in 2026.

Rep. Andrew Barkis, the ranking Republican on the House Transportation Committee, said that his proposal to use and redirect existing revenues in a way that would have avoided fee increases were not considered.

“We do need to address our transportation system,” he said. “This process cut out the entirety of the Republican delegation. We were not considered in the policy.”

Democratic Sen. Marko Liias, the chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee, said the package is ``changing the framework for how we approach transportation forever in this state.''

“No longer will it be how much concrete we can pour,'' he said. “The answer will be how many people and how much freight can we move on these corridors.” 

Doosan’s DL320-7 Wheel Loader Gets Job Done for Canby CANBY from page 4

LaLonde and his operators have noticed the difference between their -5 and -7 Series wheel loaders. He said the operators have told him they have enhanced visibility in the new DL320-7, which can make a big difference in their line of work, particularly when they’re loading trucks.

Canby Landscape Supply purchased the DL320-7 wheel loader with a light-material rollout bucket. At their facility, operators use the DL320-7 to load aggregate, compost and bark dust, and LaLonde said one bucket scoop will fill the bed on most trucks.

“The rollout bucket gives us the additional reach and height we need when loading our processing equipment and walking floor semi-trucks,” LaLonde said.

In addition to the bucket, the company regularly switches attachments to a pallet fork for loading and unloading palletized materials. Due to the machine’s optional hydraulic quick coupler, wheel loader operators can quickly change attachments.

Albeit a few minutes of savings for each attachment change, that time adds up and is worth the cost of the machine option, LaLonde said. 

Operators of Canby Landscape Supply were satisfied with the company’s first Doosan wheel loader — the DL300-5 — and they still are. But having spent time in the machine’s successor, the DL320-7, they appreciate the many new wheel loader enhancements.
