518-396-7659 email: aguilfoyle@cegltd.com

OCTOBER 29, 2025 • SYRACUSE, NEW YORK Mailed 11 times a year by name, to every Town, County, Village and City Highway Superintendent, Public Works Director and D.O.T. official in NY State. Subscriptions are available to all interested persons at a cost of $25.00 per year within the USA. To subscribe, send your check, voucher or money order for $25.00 to the address above. Single issues $3.00 each

Summer is winding down, and the autumn tradition that is the N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo in Syracuse is right around the corner. As of press time, only three 10 by 10 exhibit spaces are left. While this number might have gone down since late August, acting now is paramount if your company wants to have a presence in the big show. Booth sales are strong for one simple reason: Nowhere will your company have access to hundreds of highway superintendents, DPW commissioners and their crews under one roof in the Northeast. Just a few sales cover the very affordable cost of exhibiting. So, to be part of the Expo, please contact Amanda Hogeboom-Guilfoyle, our trade show manager, at aguilfoyle@cegltd.com for details about exhibiting opportunities right away. I also want to do a shout-out to our BBQ lunch sponsors. As a guest, you’ll want to stop by their booths to not only check out their products and services but also these sponsors will be handing out free lunch tickets. Note, however, each sponsor will have a limited supply, so get to see them quickly. Sponsors are Accu-Steel, Allegiance Trucks, Alta Equipment Buyers Products, Dejana Trick & Utility, Huddig Inc., Hunter Trucks, Milton CAT, Reed Systems, Tenco, Tracey Road and Viking-Cives. Lunch will be served from noon to 1:30 p.m. Finally, two last notes about the show. Check out page 64 in this issue for highlight from last year’s show, and look in next month’s issue for the extensive exhibitor list. Shifting gears to this issue, in my August column, I mentioned Utica Mack President Tom Heiland’s alternative to New York State’s California Advanced Clean Trucks (or ACT) regulations called “Dollars for Diesel.” We spoke with him, asking him to go into more depth about this idea, and you can find the article based on our interview with him on page 56. Hope all of you have a great, safe Labor Day and, for now, hope you enjoy this month’s profile on Massapequa Park. It’s nice to get back on the “Island” in Profile. P

Superintendent of Public Works

Bob Macri

and the Village of Massapequa Park Appointed Massapequa Park superintendent of public works by the board of trustees in 2008, Bob Macri relished the opportunity as one of movement; it signified a career that allowed him to return to where he grew up and that permitted job growth. Having served as assistant village engineer of the village of Rockville Centre for 10 years, he found no path for advancement there. A neighbor of his parents who worked for the village told them about the opening after the previous superintendent passed away, so he applied. He saw it as “my chance to come home,” explaining that “no one internally had knowledge of various aspects of the village.” Although he grew up in Pittsburgh, Pa., and lived there until he was 15, he considers Massapequa Park “home.” Some of the early Pittsburgh influence remains, such as his blue-collar mentality and work ethic, along with his dedication to the Steelers. He and his family go to Pittsburgh annually to visit family and take in a football game. But it was his familiarity with Massapequa Park that landed him the job.

By Lori Lovely

PROFILE CORRESPONDENT

Knowing, Improving the Villages Massapequa Park sits on the south shore of Long Island, less than an hour from New York City. First settled by a few families of German descent in the 19th century, the community experienced a growth spurt in 1938 after the New York Times ran ads for a new development built by a real estate firm. Soon, kit houses sold by Sears Roebuck began popping up. It was incorporated as a village in 1931 to control land use and other issues. Once notorious for its connections to the Gambino crime family, Massapequa Park was recently ranked #140 on U.S. News’ Best Places to Live list — and #1 in the state of New York. Rankings examine housing affordability, job prospects, school quality, access to health care, public safety, commute times and air quality, but the village is probably better known for its suburban charm, safe streets, walkable blocks and close-knit community. The village of Massapequa Park, population 16,922, owns and operates three parks: Brady Park, Colleran Park and Mansfield Park. “One is passive, by the ocean,” Bob said. “The second has soccer fields and three baseball diamonds. The third is the main one, with a community center, picnic area, baseball, basketball, pickle ball, bocce ball and horseshoes.” Under Bob, the department of public works has upgraded them all and recently redid the baseball diamonds. “We redo them every few years,” he said. The department built new bocce ball, pickleball and basketball courts and two soccer fields. continued on page 12 Superintendent’s Profile •

The downtown area also has been revitalized with shops and restaurants. A 100-ft.-long berm at the entrance to the village near the elevated railroad features the town name written in concrete, a flagpole and landscaping. “We upgraded the village square last year,” Bob said. The square features a sitting area, an old-fashioned clock and a spot for the holiday Christmas tree. His crew added a white picket fence, sod, landscaping, memorial plaques and entrance signs. Memorials Bob’s first project after taking office in 2008 was creating a gold-star memorial in the downtown business district. Using brick pavers similar to those of the surrounding buildings, placed in the shape of a star, the crew added landscaping and a small wall. It’s a subdued, respectful and yet important memorial. continued on page 16 12

from page 12

Another of the village’s seven memorials was created during Bob’s tenure. Located in front of the village hall, where everyone can see it and it’s safe from vandalism, the 9/11 memorial is formed by one of the twisted I-beams from the World Trade Center. “A Port Authority policeman called us about some steel from the World Trade Center in a hangar at JFK Airport,” Bob said. “We obtained three pieces.” They gave one to the school district. The large I-beam was incorporated in Bob’s design to commemorate all three crash sites from that tragic day. The beam sits on top of a brick keystone-shaped structure in memory of the Shanksville, Pa., site, and is surrounded by pentagonshaped bricks in memory of the Pentagon site. Much of the work on the memorial was done in-house. The crew hoisted the 20-ft.-long I-beam with a payloader and welded it in place

The Massapequa Park DPW recently completed this renovated Village Square park lot. The project included new bricks, picket fence, Christmas tree, sod, flagpole and more.

with two steel posts. Bob said he expected to add the second I-beam to the structure this summer and have it finished by 9/11. More Than Just Highways Bob is very clear: “This is not just a highway department. The job is public works. It incorporates all of the village, not just roads and bridges.” He oversees management of the entire village, including emergency management, parks, highway buildings and engineering. His background in civil engineering was another key aspect in winning the position. He came with experience in design and installation of various civil engineering projects, including road paving and drainage. He also manages and directs people. “I’m not getting as dirty as most, but I do get involved in all areas of construction,” he said. continued on page 24

Bob oversees 22 full-time staff and three part-time staff, who work Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. One of Bob’s most proud accomplishments was creating five new foreman positions. “There was a lack of structure when I started,” he said. Just as he had been in his former position, people were “stuck” with no way to increase their income, nowhere to go in their careers. “I created the foreman positions for promotions, which came with raises,” he said, adding that these positions of authority give his workers a sense of responsibility, along with more say in the department. It also created a ladder system. “One guy went from a laborer to a foreman to a supervisor. You find good people this way. You can see who wants to move up.” continued on page 28 24

Some of the crew Bob has elevated to positions of authority include: • Gregg Bencic, general highway supervisor • Robert Fieman, general garage supervisor • Frank Capobianco, highway supervisor • Chris Magistro, garage foreman • Juan Henriquez, buildings foreman • Jeff Anfuso, grounds foreman Projects Delegating responsibility — and “a very fair budget” of $3.6 million (plus CHIPS totaling $492.313.41) enables Bob to focus on projects and other responsibilities. “Things are different on the Island,” he said. “It’s not like upstate. We mostly hire contractors to do paving and drainage projects.” Safety has been a priority for him and one of the main projects he’s been focused on. Ten years ago, the department implemented safety

meetings. There is mandatory annual training, and he sends people to special classes as needed. They even train on rabies, poison ivy and sunburn. “If you work in the elements, you need to know about these things,” he said. For added safety, he changed their uniforms. “The DPW uniforms were dark and unsafe: no reflection, no safety vest. Now, we wear safety yellow, hard hats and reflective clothing.” An ongoing project the crew has been working on is converting all interior and exterior lighting, parking lot lights and streetlights to LED. Over the past 10 years, the department started one section at a time. “We did 20, 30, 40 or more streetlights a week,” Bob said. “Since we have two bucket trucks and we already repair the streetlights, we did it ourselves.” Nearly 1,200 streetlight updates were completed in just two years. Not only has this been a “good PR” move, but changing out the lights has decreased the village’s electric bill by thousands of dollars. continued on page 32

Another ongoing project is train station beautification. This three-year project has been divided into phases. “Last year, we did the railroad side of town,” Bob said. Work includes adding lighting, trees, flowers, benches, sidewalks, curbing and paving to create a welcoming sight for commuters returning home from New York City. Completing projects to enhance the village is Bob’s favorite part of the job, so it’s no surprise to find him working on fresh ideas. His list includes upgrading parking lots, paving more roads and updating sports fields and courts. One future project involves municipal parking lot upgrades. The department has been working with Liro Engineers on lot reconstruction. The downtown business district has five major parking lots. One is 600 ft. long with 350 parking spaces and is used for the train station and for merchant parking. “The lighting is poor,” Bob said. “It needs new paving and concrete sidewalks.” If he ever runs out of ideas for projects, Bob can consult the file of complaints he keeps. He calls it his “wish list file.” At the end of every winter, he goes through the file to see what issues he can address. Once a project is scheduled, he said he’s “in constant communication with people” about it. He likes to ensure that the residents are informed about progress on projects. continued on page 36

The village crew plants new trees along Park Boulevard’s downtown business district.

This beautification project along the Front Street railroad station involved installing new curbs, sidewalks, planters, trees and more. 32

This Massapequa Park berm was constructed and is maintained by the Massapequa Park DPW.

Bob places a great deal of importance on communication, both with the public and with the crew. “We always pick up the phone. We respond. We follow up.” Supervisors and foremen carry cell phones, and every vehicle has a CB radio. Computers are used for maintenance record keeping, payroll, complaints, data and inventory.

The DPW crew constructs new sidewalk and brick planters for the railroad station beautification project. 36

The Must-Do Tasks Responsibilities of the department include parks, buildings, the central garage and the roads. Those buildings, many of them built in the 1950s, include: the village hall, community center, public works facility, salt storage facility, Kicherer cold storage facility, Front Street garage, sign shop, wood shop and central garage. The salt storage building has a capacity of 500 tons. “We don’t get as much snow as upstate New York — no lakeeffect snow,” Bob said, explaining why they typically don’t need as much salt, although he gets enough to provide salt to the school district. He watches it closely. “It’s not an unlimited pile. I like to keep it full. We continually stockpile the salt ensuring that the building is always full.” Preferring salt because it’s cleaner, he uses little sand, which he said can get into the storm drains and cause problems with the drain pipes. Snowplowing is Bob’s least favorite part of the job, but when they do get snow, the department has seven plow routes, each of which takes approximately four hours. All roads in the village are paved and are routinely inspected in-house. Most vehicle maintenance is also performed internally. “We have three full-time mechanics,” Bob said. “They do most of the work in-house, except for big jobs like transmissions, hydraulics on the buckets, etc.” continued on page 44

Although Bob said his fleet needs to add two new six-wheel dump trucks, a considerable portion of the department’s equipment inventory is relatively new, in keeping with his goal of not having more than seven to 10 years on most vehicles. “Over the past five to seven years, we’ve acquired things,” he said. Some came through an ARPA grant. Others were a gift of Hurricane Sandy in 2012. When several vehicles ended up underwater due to the storm, FEMA provided funds for new equipment. “There was three feet of flooding on the south end of the village, which goes to the bay,” he said. With more than 100 trees down, crews worked practically around the clock. “It took a couple weeks of clearing and a couple months of cleaning up.” continued on page 48

Power was out for more than a week, but the community center and the village hall had generators. One Year at a Time The upside of being appointed to a position is that you never have to campaign for it. The downside is that you have to wait for that annual letter to know your job is safe another year. The letters keep coming and Bob has no immediate plans to retire. “There’s still a lot of work to be done, and I still enjoy what I do,” he said. Immensely proud of erecting the 9/11 memorial and some of the other things he’s accomplished, nevertheless, the superintendent continues to work to improve himself and his department. In line with his views on safety, he is a member of PERMA Safety Institute, a risk management agency for training and safety programs. He’s also a member of NYCOM, a conference of mayors that offers training for clerks, administrators and public works officials.

Of course, no amount of training could have prepared him for his worst day on the job approximately 10 years ago — a day he was technically on vacation until he received a phone call from one of his supervisors, alerting him to the suicide of one of his employees. It wasn’t an easy moment to get past, but Bob takes comfort in his family, who stands by him through all the challenges of the job. His wife, Kathy, who works for St. Francis hospital, tells him he needs to have a thicker skin when dealing with upset residents, and that he shouldn’t sweat the small stuff. The couple is “big on hiking,” he said. “We like to find waterfalls, mountains and scenic overlooks. We also love the beaches at Fire Island.” Typically, they take long weekends to explore the Poconos and upstate New York, but they plan to visit the Smokey Mountains next year after the weddings of their son, Tommy, 27, in 2026, and daughter, Marissa, 25, in November 2025. continued on page 52

Ever the Pittsburgh boy, Bob takes the ‘Terrible Towel’ with them wherever they go. Developed in 1975 in Pittsburgh, the Terrible Towel is credited with being the first rally towel in professional sports. Many fans take their towel to famous sites or on vacations. It has become recognized as a symbol of the Steelers and the city of Pittsburgh. “It always joins me for every vacation, regardless of where it is,” Bob said. It has accompanied him to the Bahamas, Jamaica, St. Lucia and on hiking trips. “It’s something of a tradition that has stuck with me since my childhood.” Back on the job, Bob concentrates on long-term goals. “I want to continue updating the fleet; implementing more safety initiatives; upgrading lots, roads and parks; beautifying the train station, downtown area and village facilities; and bringing in positive, experienced employees.” If he achieves even half of his goals, his hoped-for legacy of leaving the village better than he found it will be accomplished. Every day he proves that he deserves to be remembered the way he hopes he one day will be: “for doing an honest job and caring about the community.”  P (All photos courtesy of Massapequa Park DPW.) 52

Could ‘Dollars for Diesels’ Program Be One Cure for What Ails New York’s ACT Rule?

(L-R); Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon; Tom Heiland, president of Utica Mack; NYSDEC Commissioner Amanda Lefton; and Zach Miller, TANY.

New York State’s contentious Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) rule, which took effect this past New Year’s Day, has faced steady criticism from truck dealers and fleet operators since it was first adopted in 2021. Intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality — especially from diesel-burning trucks — the ACT rule promotes the use of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) for trucks in classes 2B through 8, or those weighing 8,501 lbs. or more. Diesel engines have long been flagged by both environmentalists and industry professionals as major polluters, particularly pre-2010 models that predate federal mandates for low-sulfur diesel fuel and particulate filters. Although modern diesel engines emit far fewer pollutants than those from 15 years ago, the transition to battery-electric trucks has proven challenging due to nascent technology, sky high costs and a neartotal lack of charging infrastructure. Currently, about 47 percent of diesel trucks registered in New York were manufactured before 2010, underscoring the magnitude of the clean truck transition challenge. The ACT rule stems from the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) signed into law in July 2019, which mandated ZEV sales targets starting last Jan. 1. While the policy’s intent was widely acknowledged as a noble objective, the Trucking Association of New York (TANY) and its members quickly raised concerns — not about the environmental goals, but the feasibility of implementation on such an aggressive timeline. Key concerns include the rule’s requirement that dealers sell an

increasing and, in many cases, unrealistic percentage of ZEVs across all truck classes over the next two decades until all new trucks sold are zeroemission. “The law originally focused on manufacturers, but since they don’t sell directly to customers, it falls on dealers to meet the sales quotas,” said Tom Heiland, president of Utica Mack and a 43-year industry veteran. “That ratio is one ZEV for every seven-10 diesel trucks sold, depending on the class, and the only ZEVs available are electric battery models, which are limited in scope, range and reliability.” Heiland added, “ZEVs don’t work well for many applications that diesel trucks serve today. The lack of infrastructure and high cost of ownership only worsens the problem.” Despite passing the ACT rule in 2019, the state failed to invest in electric truck charging stations — even at critical locations like the 27 service plazas along the 496-mi. New York Thruway, a vital trucking route. “I called the Thruway Authority and asked how many of the 330 new chargers they installed were for heavy-duty trucks,” Heiland said. “The answer was zero. They had years to prepare and did nothing. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me.” Dollars for Diesels Frustrated with the state’s top-down approach and seeking ways to further cut emissions from commercial transportation, Heiland, along with Zach Miller, TANY’s vice president of government affairs, and Mark Stone, director of sales of Burr Truck Sales, developed another option called “Dollars for Diesels.” continued on page 60

Utica Mack President Offers Alternative to NYS’s ACT Rule

Tom Heiland held a white handkerchief over the exhaust of three trucks from the 1997 (far L), 2012 (middle) and 2025 model years. The test resulted in black soot from the oldest vehicle, yellowing from the mid-era truck, and no visible residue from the 2025 truck, underscoring the advances in diesel technology. from page 56

The proposal offers incentives to replace pre-2010 diesel trucks with newer, cleaner diesel models, rather than mandating ZEVs that fleets cannot yet support. The idea was the focus of a June 26 roundtable in Utica, convened by Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon, D-119 District, and attended by officials from New York State agencies including the Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). “We have proven technology right now — cleaner diesel engines — that can help New York reach its goals more quickly and cost-effectively,” Heiland said. “Let’s use that instead of technology that doesn’t exist, isn’t affordable or can’t be supported.” Miller hopes Dollars for Diesels can complement NYSERDA’s Truck Voucher Incentive Program (TVIP) and provide flexible options for fleet upgrades statewide. Following the roundtable, Buttenschon and Heiland met with NYSDEC Commissioner Amanda Lefton, who was reportedly intrigued by the proposal after a striking demonstration at a second Utica meeting. There, Heiland held a white handkerchief over the exhaust of three trucks from the 1997, 2012 and 2025 model years. The test resulted in black soot from the oldest vehicle, yellowing from the mid-era truck, and no visible residue from the 2025 truck, underscoring the advances 60

in diesel technology. Encouraged by interest from Lefton and lawmakers in Albany, Buttenschon has since introduced a “Dollars for Diesel Act,” aimed at creating a statewide program administered by NYSERDA to buy and scrap older trucks. “If older trucks aren’t scrapped, they’ll stay in use and keep polluting,” Heiland said. ACT Rule On Pause, But Uncertainty Remains Now is the time for New York to take bold action, Heiland said. President Trump’s recent revocation of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) waivers has effectively placed New York’s ACT rule on hold. The state is challenging the pause, but implementation remains uncertain. Despite NYSDEC’s temporary exemption allowing municipalities to buy certain diesel-powered trucks for 2025 and 2026, the rule continues to burden essential industries, including milk haulers, freight carriers and construction firms, all of which lack viable ZEV alternatives. “We’re not against clean trucks,” Heiland said. “We’re against mandating tools that don’t work yet while ignoring tools that do. Give us a seat at the table, and let’s achieve realistic clean air goals together.”  P (Photos courtesy of Utica Mack.)

Looking Back at 2024’s Successful N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo

Last year, the New York State Association of Town Superintendents of Highways (NYSAOTSOH) welcomed their members from across the Empire State. (L-R) are Megan Osika and Gabby Alston, both of NYSAOTSOH; Matt Mustico, highway superintendent of the town of Elmira; Stephen Fedrizei, highway superintendent of the town of Venice; and Gary Thorington, highway superintendent of the town of Wyndham.

N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo boasted a strong attendance of 1,400 representatives of highway departments, public works officials, DOT officials, as well as managers of parks and recreation facilities and road maintenance contractors.

O In 2024, attendees lined up for a delicious lunch at the N.Y.S Highway & Public Works Expo.

West Ahose (R), water/sewer superintendent of the town of Interlaken, was the grand prize winner of NASCAR tickets to Watkins Glen International Racetrack. Teddy McKeon of Superintendent’s Profile presented the tickets. 64

Bruce Way (L), highway superintendent of the town of Pompey, was the grand prize winner of Buffalo Bills tickets. Teddy McKeon of Superintendent’s Profile presented the tickets.

n Oct. 23 in 2024, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo at the New York State Fairgrounds Expo Center. The show featured a strong attendance of 1,400 representatives of highway departments, public works officials, DOT officials, as well as managers of parks and recreation facilities and road maintenance contractors. Exhibitors included manufacturers and distributors of road building, earthmoving and highway maintenance equipment, as well as every item highway superintendents and public works commissioners could ever need to maintain the various properties and facilities that fall under their domain. With the overwhelming success of last year’s

show, exhibit space for this year’s Expo is in short supply, but there are still good exhibiting options left, so contact our trade show manager, Amanda Hogeboom-Guilfoyle, our trade show manager, at aguilfoyle@cegltd.com for details about exhibiting opportunities. The NYS Highway & Public Works Expo is solely owned and produced by the Superintendent’s Profile, a monthly trade publication, which has proudly been serving the New York State highway and public works industry since 1976. Here are some highlights from last year’s Expo.  P (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2025 Superintendent’s Profile. All Rights Reserved.)

A record 130 exhibitors packed the New York State Fairgrounds Expo Center in 2024.

Last year’s attendees came from all corners of New York State, from Long Island to Buffalo and from Plattsburgh to Binghamton.

Blue Diamond Introduces New Heavy-Duty Snow Blower

Blue Diamond Attachments photo

Available for skid steer loaders, the new Blue Diamond heavy duty snow blower provides excellent performance under both wet and dry snow conditions.

Blue Diamond Attachments announced the launch of an addition to its full line of snow removal attachments. Available for skid steer loaders, the new Blue Diamond heavy duty snow blower provides excellent performance under both wet and dry snow conditions. With an 11-in. chute diameter, the new snow blower attachment is built to evacuate high volumes of snow quickly and comes in cutting widths from 62 to 96-in. Key features of the new Blue Diamond heavy-duty snow blower include: • High tensile steel ribbon flighting. To deliver even the heaviest wet snow to the awaiting fan, the Blue Diamond snow blower uses machine formed hand welded 19-in. augers made with high tensile steel ribbon flighting to provide strength and durability. • A five-blade fan. A standard 26-in. diameter five blade fan not only moves high volumes of snow quickly, but also features tighter tolerance to the housing increasing velocity of the snow exiting the chute. • A manual pin-style deflector. Blue Diamond snow blowers come with a manual pin style deflector allowing a true set it and forget approach to blowing snow. • Adjustable skid shoes. The heavy-duty snow blowers come 72

equipped with adjustable skid shoes extending the life of the cutting edge and helping to protect surfaces from damage commonly associated with snow removal. • A hydraulic rotator. The hydraulic rotator on the chute is ideal for skid steer loaders with cabs or for contractors/property managers needing to make frequent adjustments. • Hydraulic line check valves. The valves prevent reverse rotation and allow the motor to overrun after the valve is shut off. • Various plug features. This feature allows for virtually any skid steer to be used with the heavy-duty snow blower. “The addition of this heavy-duty snow blower to our line of snow removal attachments could not come at a better time for contractors and municipalities who are looking to update or upgrade their existing fleet,” said Drew Truan, chief operating officer of Blue Diamond Attachments. “Our new snow blower is compatible with most OEMs, it’s built to withstand the harshest of winters and it is supported by Blue Diamond and our extensive dealer network.” The new heavy-duty snow blower attachment comes with the Blue Diamond satisfaction guarantee and are backed by a 1-year warranty.

Buyers Products Unveils Upgrades to SaltDogg PRO-M Spreader Series

Buyers Products announced the upgrade of its popular SaltDogg Pro series line of salt spreaders to the SaltDogg PRO-M series.

Buyers Products announced the upgrade of their popular SaltDogg Pro series line of salt spreaders to the SaltDogg PRO-M series. PRO-M series spreaders feature a modern, compact, in-cab controller connected to the spreader by a simple two-wire power and control cable. “We designed the PRO-M series with the modern truck cab in mind,” said Scott Moorman, director of snow and ice of Buyers Products Company. “The new controller is about the size of an average smartphone, taking up much less room in the cab than a more traditional spreader controller.” The new in-cab Multiplex controller uses CAN bus (controller area 76

network) technology, which connects the spreader’s components with a simple two-wire system. The design not only frees up space inside the cab but also requires a smaller wiring harness which greatly simplifies installation. The controllers have been through multiple seasons of testing, so users can expect the same operation as other SaltDogg spreaders, according to SaltDogg, Designed for contractors, municipalities and fleet operators, the SaltDogg PRO-M series spreaders will be phased-in over time in 1.50, 2.00 and 2.50 cu. yd. capacities, with options for auger or chain drivelines.
