Vögele’s first mini Dash 5 paver is now available Vögele has launched the Super 800-5 P, the manufacturer’s first mini paver in the Dash 5 roster.

Equipped with a new material hopper, new operator's platform and new lighting concept, the Super 800-5 P offers a high level of operating comfort and optimum visibility.

As with all pavers of the Dash 5 generation, Vögele focused on operating convenience and short set-up times when developing the Super 800-5 P. In combination with the AB 200 V and TV and AB 220 V and TV extending screeds,

it offers pave widths from 50 cm to 3.5 metres — making it ideal for narrow construction projects.

The successor to the Super 700 and Super 800 has an engine output of 74 hp, a laydown rate of up to 300 tonnes per hour and a compact size with a width of 1.4 metres and a length of 4.4 metres.

Compared to its predecessors, the Dash 5 model also integrates numerous practical innovations.

material hopper. Like previous versions, both hopper walls can be hydraulically adjuste d s eparately or together. In addition, the asymmetrical setting, which is beneficial for such tasks as paving along a wall, can now be used on both sides.

The hopper walls of the new Super 800-5 P can also be folded twice. Together with the flat engine hood, the low hopper height and the raised operator's platform, this gives the operator an unrestricted view to the front.

This makes manoeuvring New hopper A major advantage of and loading the new Dash the mini paver is the new 5 paver much easier.

ErgoBasic 5 Vögele has also improved the operating system: as before, the new operator's control console can be moved horizontally.

In addition, its angle can now be adjusted in four stages and ergonomically adapted to the height of the operator. The new ErgoBasic 5 operating concept follows the operating logic of the larger machines but has been specially adapted to the mini paver.

For the first time, the paver operator's console incorporates a display that allows the operator to view the ma-

chine's operating data. In addition, Vögele has fully integrated the operation of the Auto Grade Basic system for automated grade and slope control into the screed control system.

This enables screed operators to control the Super 800-5 P with just one compact console— just like on large Vögele pavers. A new storage system with a tool and drink holder, coat hooks and 24-volt socket for mobile devices also ensures organization and more convenience.

With Vögele’s Light Package or Light Package Plus

of the Dash 5 generation, users can pave safely, relaxed and precisely even in the dark or in poor visibility.

The light package for the Super 800-5 P includes LED lighting for the paver operator's console, the tow point cylinder and the auger tunnel.

This ensures that all p o i n t s re l e v a n t t o t h e paving are specifically illuminated without casting shadows.

The optional Light Package Plus also offers two LED floodlights that optimally illuminate the entire working area.

Sandvik is building a new mining equipment centre in Northern Ontario Sandvik has broken ground on a new $85 million flagship mining equipment centre in the Sudbury region of Ontario.

Construction of the new mining equipment maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility is expected to begin this month. The centre is scheduled to officially open in the third quarter of 2027.

Located on 115 acres in Lively, Ontario, the site will feature a 135,000-squarefoot facility and will employ up to 400 employees once operational.

“This new facility marks an important step forward in how we support our people and customers across Canada. We are building a modern, collaborative and future-ready work environ-

ment that reflects the rapid changes taking place in today’s mining industry,” said Peter Corcoran, Sandvik’s Vice President of Sales for Canada.

“With expanded capabilities, enhanced infrastructure, and a strong focus on our core products, which align with Canada’s priorities around electrification and sustainability, this investment strengthens our ability to remain a trusted partner for our customers for many years to come.”

The new Sudbury facility is designed to meet increasing customer demand for equipment maintenance, electrification capabilities, efficient service turnaround and capacity for long-term growth.

The investment will deliver AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR

double the existing workshop capacity and incorporate modern workshop areas, expanded office space, welding facilities, a paint booth, BEV-dedicated infrastructure and a technology-focused simulator area for equipment operators and maintenance training purposes.

The design prioritizes circularity, waste reduction, energy efficiency and efforts to minimize environmental impact.

The centre will be supported with a grant of up to $4 million from the Invest Ontario Fund.

“As one of the most diversi-

fied manufacturing sectors in North America, Ontario continues to drive advancements that strengthen productivity and competitiveness across our critical industries,” said Vic Fedeli, Ontario’s Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade.

“Sandvik’s investment is

not only a testament to the reliability and resilience of Ontario’s world-class workforce, but a great example of how investments in critical infrastructure will strengthen domestic supply chains and position the province at the forefront of industry transformation.”

Your Top 5 new machines of 2025 From compact track loaders to the largest excavator operating in Canada, Equipment Journal’s most popular machine introductions of 2025 covered the gamut of equipment introduced this year.

This year, earthmoving and ming equipment dominated the list of most popular

machines with all five introductions designed to move material.

Our annual Top 5 list is created by ranking the number of views each story received throughout the year on equipmentjournal.com.

Here are the Top 5 mostread equipment stories from 2025:

No. 5: Kubota’s new trio I n Ja n u a r y , Ku b o t a launched two new compact excavators and a new compact track loader, kicking off an exciting year for the brand as it celebrates its 50th anniversary in Canada.

Cat's 775 haul truck KX040-5 compact excavator and the SVL97-3 compact track loader.

The U17-5 zero-tail swing compact excavator provides the power and efficiency operators need in confined spaces. Its tracks can be retracted to 99 cm to get through narrow spaces and expand to 1.3 metres for stability.

The KX040-5 compact excavator features an improved hydraulic system to boost the operator’s productivity and efficiency in real-world working conditions.

The hydraulic system utilizes engine horsepower to its fullest extent allowing flow rate to be increased while using a hydraulic attachment and operating other functions of the KX040-5 simultaneously.

The SVL97-3 offers improved performance, comfort and maintenance compared to previous generations. Auto-shift is now included, helping the oper-

No. 4: Bobcat goes big In March, Bobcat expanded into heavy construction equipment with the introduction of six new machines.

The manufacturer introduced the new L205, L235, L255 and L285 large wheel loaders and E220 and E245 large excavators.

The large wheel loader introduction includes the L205 (142 hp), L235 (159 hp), L255 (172 hp) and the L285 (189 hp).

The loaders are purpose-built for big load-and-carry tasks in construction, agriculture and manufacturing.

The new E220 (174 hp) and E245 (189 hp) excavators deliver the power, performance and precision needed for big job site challenges.

With fast cycle times, impressive digging forces and high lifting capabilities, the conventional-tail-swing E220 and reduced-tail-swing E245 help operators handle large-scale projects, like commercial and residential construction, roadwork and infrastructure.

No. 3: Cat’s 775 This summer, Caterpillar introduced its next generation design of off-highway trucks starting with the rollout of the Cat 775.

Distinguishing it from the previous 775 models, the 65-tonne payload hauler is engineered to enable fully autonomous capabilities in the future.

The truck features an innovative new frame design that helps to optimize payload weight, a refined suspension for improved ride and handling and advanced safety features like the 360-degree surround cameras and Cat Detect radar system to deliver superior

performance and safer and more comfortable operation.

The Cat 775 debuts in 2026.

No. 2: Komatsu’s PC9000 This year also marked the arrival of the largest excavator in Canada.

The first Komatsu PC9000 excavator left Komatsu Germany Mining Division (KGM) in Düsseldorf, Germany, in January enroute to Alberta’s oil sands region.

The 900-ton excavator started its journey across the world on a single barge before moving on to a cross-Atlantic ship.

For the final leg of the massive logistics challenge, the PC9000’s components were loaded onto trucks after the excavator reached the Canadian shore.

The shipment included eight containers, 11 unpacked components, six cases and 14 skids. The PC9000’s tracks weigh 131 tons alone.

The machine is the largest hydraulic shovel for surface mining on the market, and the largest hydraulic shovel in Komatsu’s lineup.

No. 1: Deere’s backhoe update John Deere’s announcement that it has updated its backhoe lineup was the most read story on equipmentjournal.com in 2025.

Deere upgraded its backhoes with new machine and tech features to enhance operator comfort and jobsite awareness.

The new features include an industry-first rear camera system, a redesigned cab with 13-cm more leg room when swivelling the seat and improved climate control.

Deere also consolidated two side posts into one, so the new cab provides an expanded field of view, particularly for truck loading and trenching operations.

A new overhead rear window system offers an unobstructed view of trenches and tight spaces, increasing accuracy in underground applications.

Trench safety starts before the first shovel hits the ground Without early planning and expert guidance, even the best equipment can fall short

By Cam Dougherty, Cooper Trench Safety In 2023, a Calgary worker lost his life when his supervisors failed to provide trench safety equipment.

The same happened in Toronto in 2024 after a tragic trench collapse. Later that year, a construction worker was fatally trapped in a fourmetre-deep trench after conducting repairs. Most recently, unstable soil caused a trench to collapse, leaving two people gravely injured.

With all our advancements in equipment and safety awareness, these accidents shouldn’t happen, but they do.

Trench excavation is dangerous work when precautions are overlooked. The biggest threat is non-compliance — contractors operating outside the safety system or not using one at all to save a bit of cash.

And when safety culture is non-existent, workers may feel unable to speak up.

The consequences can be fatal.

Trench projects are often

highly complex – especially if they involve existing utilities, adjacent infrastructure, unstable soils or water systems.

Success hinges on the right equipment selection but also expert guidance around safety regulations and in-depth knowledge of infrastructure systems.

One effective strategy is partnering with an equipment rental provider. It gives your team access to the latest trench equipment that is both well maintained and meets safety regulations. And the

benefits go beyond just the equipment. A reliable rental provider offers hands-on training, on-site planning, customized solutions, timely delivery, site specific engineering and even emergency support for those unexpected projects. With the right partner by your side, your crew can operate with confidence and focus on getting the job done safely and efficiently.

with a thorough site evaluation and in-field consultation to identify potential hazards.

This includes checking for underground utilities, soil type assessment and ensuring the trenching plan complies with local, provincial and federal regulations.

Factors like soil type, trench depth and project duration must be carefully evaluated before selecting equipment.

Renting the wrong-sized exProper planning cavator might cause a minor If your project involves any setback, but poor planning or trench work, you should start lack of expertise and guidance

around trench systems can lead to costly delays, structural instability and serious safety risks for your crew.

Remember: no two trenches are alike — conditions can change daily and vary across job sites. While regulations and industry standards provide guidance when it comes to protective measures, be sure to have a competent person on your team who maintains a strong relationship with an experienced shoring partner.

The ARA Foundation helps revitalize LTC facility in Saskatoon The American Rental Association (ARA) Foundation and The Toro Company Foundation have helped to transform the landscape at the Sherbrooke Community Centre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

This fall, the foundations donated equipment, volunteers and a $20,000 grant to install new fencing, sidewalk extensions and landscape improvements at the longterm care facility.

Collaborators from The Toro Company, Ditch Witch, The Rent It Store, Hub City Display, Rent Quip, Earthworks Equipment, Event Source, Core Rental Servi-

ces, United Rentals, Sunbelt Rentals Saskatoon and Sunbelt Rentals Squamish joined forces to help renovate the landscape and property.

The Sherbrooke Community Centre is a long-term care facility recognized for its high standards in personal and nursing care. It offers a range of services, including physiotherapy and recreational programs, to support residents’ health and quality of life. The centre is dedicated to creating a vibrant, supportive environment for those it serves.

“I think today, this project really fits our philosophy and our goal of achieving well-be-

ing,” said Kim Schmidt, CEO of Sherbrooke Community Centre. “We’re just so appreciative of the generous spirit of everyone who is here today and part of this.”

On the day of the project, more than 40 volunteers worked to renovate the outdoor space at the Sherbrooke Community Centre. They installed 73 metres of decorative iron fencing, removed trees, ground stumps, extended a sidewalk and spread more than 15 yards of mulch.

The area was turned into a

safe, inviting green space for residents to enjoy.

“We are really thrilled to welcome all the skilled workers and the heavy equipment the ARA members provided,

and we are very thrilled to accept the ARA Foundation grant as well for our project,” said Joy-Ann Allin, Donor Relations Manager at Sherbrooke Community Centre.

Continued from Page A10 This individual should be familiar with various soil types/ classifications and how factors like depth of trench, moisture content and water seepage can affect stability.

A trustworthy rental provider should have the knowledge and experience to identify risks and give honest, practical advice on trench equipment you need, and what you don’t need, helping you avoid over-renting unnecessary equipment or services.

Rental partnership When safety is taken seriously, it creates a jobsite where workers can operate without the risk of accidents.

Training your team on how to use equipment correctly is crucial. Your rental provider can help you not only choose the right equipment but also provide a basic understanding of product assembly, safety regulations and how to adhere to manufacturer's guidelines.

Rental providers are often the first to know about changes or updates to trench safety regulations and best practices from equipment manufacturers. This makes them uniquely qualified to help you align your current safety programs with regulatory requirements, while also ensuring proper procedures are followed for trench excavation — equipping your crew with the confidence and knowledge to assess hazards, oversee equipment installation and perform daily inspections.

Make sure your workers feel safe to speak up by cultivating a culture of safety that goes beyond simply complying with regulations.

Enhancing off-highway efficiency with advanced hydraulic control valves

By Bruno Russo, Product Sales Manager, Mobile Valves for Bosch Rexroth Off-highway construction machinery can exponentially benefit from a simple system upgrade to improve efficiency and overall operations.

Advanced hydraulic load sensing control valves with electro proportional actuation are a specific enhancement that have been shown to improve operations for on- and off-highway equipment due to the valves’ independent load-sensing elements, which better manage fluid flow.

Within the off-highway industry, these valves are commonly used in skid steer loaders, compact track loaders, cranes and forestry and agriculture machinery. These job-specific, heavy machines require flexibility and have high performance standards, which the valves' pre-compensated load-sensing design help achieve. Compared to other valve types, operators that use advanced control valves will experience immediate improvements in machine manoeuvrability, precision and efficiency.

enhanced suitability across many off-highway applications and their diverse set of needs. Traditional hydraulic approaches can vary, as machines have varying sizes and requirements. The modularity of advanced hydraulic control valves solves this complex, expensive roadblock, ultimately reducing machines’ weight, enabling greater control and precision.

At Bosch Rexroth, cutting-edge engineering of advanced valves (our RM medium pressure platform) reduces leakage over the main spool to only 10 cc per minute at 100 bar, meaning no counterbalance valves are needed on the main control block due to the reduction in component size and parts.

The valve ser ves as a space-saving mechanism, reducing hydraulic fluid leakage and improving efficiency, ultimately allowing for a more streamlined and profitable machine across a multitude of applications. In fact, the resulting operational efficiency significantly impacts the total cost of ownership (TCO) of Off-highway adaptability machines, with both OEMs The modular design of sec- and operators experiencing tional valves allows them to be advantages. Control valve-enreconfigured and adapted for hanced off-highway machines

also see a considerable reduction in energy requirements resulting from a decrease in diesel fuel consumption and reduced TCO.

Electronic control Operator simplicity is another benefit of implementing load-sensing advanced hydraulic control valves.

Closed-loop electronic control allows for software and sensor integration, giving machine diagnoses, providing information for maintenance (such as pressure loss) and the ability to spot concerns before they become problems. While it is not required for every application, the integrated component can

enhance electronification of mobile machines, with precision being one tangible result.

The software integration with the advanced hydraulic load-sensing control valve ensures overall improved operations and the possibility of several control modes via the on-board electronics (OBE).

OEMs can greatly benefit from simpler OBE setup for the control block, and operators experience more defined

movements from closedloop electronic control. The load-sensing technology also reduces the skill level required for physical operation, saving money on personnel on top of the reduced time and costs of maintenance.

Operational enhancements Advanced control valves maximize operations of off-highway machines in many ways. The work of off-highway machines is in-

herently intermittent with frequent start-stops, dealing with more extreme temperatures.

Swapping components can benefit operators by simplifying and streamlining operations, with integrated electronics delivering more efficient outcomes. Advanced control valves will likely continue to be adopted as more OEMs embrace electronification, allowing for more machine integration.

A trio of Rokbak RA40s keep aggregate moving at Alberta’s Edberg pit At the Edberg pit in Camrose County, Alberta, three Rokbak RA40 articulated dump trucks (ADTs) are the backbone of the operation, diligently moving thousands

of tons of overburden, sand and gravel every week.

The trucks are shared between two companies with a common ownership group: Boden Sand & Gravel (Boden

S&G) and Road to Rail Construction Group.

The partnership with Rokbak began when Road to Rail purchased its first RA40 in September 2022. Less than

a year later, the company’s confidence in the brand led to the purchase of two more units — a second for Road to Rail and one for Boden S&G. For Brandon Boden, the

third-generation Owner of Boden S&G, the investment was a straightforward decision. With a family legacy in the Central Alberta aggregate industry dating back to the 1950s, his company has grown to produce about 500,000 tons of material a year.

“In this business, uptime is everything. You need equipment that just works, plain and simple,” Boden said. “The Rokbak haulers are no-nonsense trucks. They’re robust, they’re easy on fuel and they don’t give us headaches. We run them hard, and they just keep going. That reliability is exactly what we need to keep our promises to our customers.”

With each machine now having clocked more than 3,000 hours in their first three years, the three RA40 units have proven they can handle anything the pit throws at them. No matter the ground conditions and weather, the haulers’ traction effort and rim pull have overcome every challenge. But for the person spending their entire shift in the cab, performance is only half the story.

For both Boden S&G and Road to Rail, the decision to purchase and re-invest in Rokbak was rooted in their relationship with Headwater Equipment, which has served Western Canada for close to three decades. With five full-service locations across Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan, Headwater has built its reputation on providing complete solutions, from new and used equipment sales to parts, service and rentals.

“We don’t sell a customer a machine and walk away; we sell them a solution and stick with them,” said Headwater Equipment Salesman Scott Letkeman.

“Brandon and his team knew us and trusted us. When we recommended the Rokbak, they knew it was because we believed it was the right fit for their operation. It’s a tough, reliable truck that we could stand behind.”

“The beauty of the Rokbak design is its serviceability,” Coetzer said. “Our technicians can access service points easily, which means routine maintenance is faster and troubleshooting is simpler. This keeps downtime to

an absolute minimum. We work with the Boden crew to schedule service proactively, so these trucks stay where they belong — out in the pit, earning their keep.”

Headwater sponsored a trip for the ownership group to visit the Rokbak factory in Motherwell, Scotland.

The visit provided a firsthand look at the values driving the brand.

“It’s a clean, professional and people-focused environment.

It reminded me a lot of our own company values. Seeing that commitment to quality, and meeting the people behind the machine, confirmed we made the right choice.”

This sentiment is echoed by Rokbak, which sees partners like Boden S&G and Head-

water as a true reflection of its brand.

“We build haulers that are simple, hardworking and reliable, because that’s what contractors in places like Alberta need,” said Greg Gerbus, Rokbak Regional Sales Manager – North America. “But our real strength comes from having fantastic customers

like Boden S&G and an incredible dealer partner like Headwater Equipment. They share our values.”

Back at the Edberg pit, every load hauled is another promise kept. It’s the result of a simple formula for success: generations of hard work, strong partnerships and reliable Scottish iron.

Optimism in uncertain times AEM outlines the state of the equipment industry in Canada heading into 2026 While tariffs continue to generate complications for equipment manufacturers in Canada, new pathways to growth are emerging.

During a virtual roundtable, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) outlined what 2026 may hold for the Canadian equipment industry and the challenges and opportunities its members will face.

“As we look forward to

2026, our industry is optimistic,” said Megan Tanel, President and CEO at AEM. “Despite being at a crossroads due to tariffs and supply chain vulnerabilities — pretty significant bumps — we're also seeing some great opportunity.”

Canada’s 2026 budget is generating optimism for manufacturers. The federal budget policies, including expanded capital cost al-

lowance and the $51 billion Build Communities Strong Fund, are expected to have a largely positive impact for manufacturers.

“Budget 2025 is a significant and welcome step forward, sending a strong signal that the government is serious about strengthening Canada's industrial capacity and productivity,” Tanel said. “We have a chance to build more resilient domestic supply chains, to invest in large scale infrastructure that supports manufacturing competitiveness and prioritize a truly integrated domestic market that fortifies Canada's long term economic security.”

creases. The CMI Mulching carriers are also exempt from U.S. tariffs, excluding individual parts.

However, tariffs have also generated turbulence in the form of market uncertainty.

“It's had such a massive ripple effect just in terms of how we think, how we plan and people's purchasing habits,” Vennat said. “The pipelines for future revenue and expected revenue for a lot of contractors is less clear down the road. So, I think that uncertainty has been the biggest killer, the unpredictability and the inability to plan because of the massive fluctuations in input costs.”

Tariff impact

Manufacturers are also now dedicating resources to tariff mitigation as they try to minimize price increases for their customers.

“We've always added tariffs as a line item for parts, just to be very clear we haven't increased the price. This is what it is. The second they're dropped, we won't charge them on imports to the United States,” Vennat said.

Tariffs are also forcing global suppliers to change how they distribute their g o o d s f ro m c ou nt r y t o country. Companies that once used the United States as a distribution point for markets like Canada are now rerouting their goods to avoid import tariffs.

Kubota Canada, for example, worked with its suppliers to change how it received certain comp o n e n t s w h e n Ca n a d a implemented counter tariffs on American imports.

Various tariffs levied by the United States this year have created challenges for equipment manufacturers.

Canadian companies exporting equipment to the United States may face tariffs. As well, components shipped into the U.S. that are destined for Canada may be charged with import tariffs.

For CMI Mulching, a Quebec-based manufacturer of tracked land clearing equipment, tariffs have also lowered the price on Canadian steel, which helps offset other increases. “ Fo r s t e e l p ro d u c e r s in Canada, they've seen a large drop in demand from the U.S. market,” said Charles Vennat, President and CEO of CMI Mulching.

“So, there's been good availability for manufacturers in Canada, so that will help offset some of the tariffs of the U.S.-based components that we've seen.”

Overall, the new trade reality has led to a single digit percentage in cost in-

Kubota arranged to have tire assemblies shipped in parts from different locations worldwide rather than receive the assembled unit from the United States.

“This enabled us to completely avoid getting that tariff impact, which was a win for us and ultimately a win for our customers,” said Yannick Montagano, President of Kubota Canada.

“That's just a simple example but imagine doing that across your entire p ro d u c t l i n e a n d s u p ply chain — that's what I think we are trying to do as equipment manufacturers.”

The Sept. 1 removal of Canada’s counter tariffs, which were as high as 25 per cent, is another win for manufacturers and buyers heading into 2026.

“At a certain time, we basically shut down all imports of those products that were affected by those counter tariffs and relied on the inventory already in the dealer channel to fulfill the needs of our customers,” Montagano said.

“Had those counter tariffs remained in effect, it would create a significant challenge.”

the cost of buying new equipment in 2026 will vary based on the country of origin.

At Kubota Canada, its m a c h i n e s a re s o u rc e d worldwide, with inventory coming from Europe, Japan and the United States.

“Our customers can expect a higher cost from U.S. manufactured products than products manufactured elsewhere in the world,” Montagano said. “That's just a reality of the U.S. trade policy.”

In preparation for tariffs, manufacturers also stockpiled inventory to offset price increases.

However, those inventory stockpiles will eventually be depleted.

“I think as we see that stockpiling run through, as we see the tariffs really start to infiltrate the cost base of the supply chains, I think you could see cost increases,” Vennat said.

“The question will be how long will those be tolerated before they are repealed?”

CUSMA review In July 2026, the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) will see a mandatory joint assessment by its member countries. The assessment will evaluate the trade deal and determine its future.

As par t of the public consultation process, AEM submitted comments to both the United States and Canada highlighting CUSMA’s (or USMCA in the United States) benefits to business in North America.

“We just really focused on the importance of having the free trade, and we emphasize the critical role that USMCA and CUSMA play in supporting North American economic security and competitiveness,” Tanel said.

“We were able to note that the agreement has driven a 50 per cent increase in regional trade since its implementation in 2020, and there's a ton of concerns if this agreement would go away.”

Remembering Art Van Camp: An icon of heavy equipment in Canada

Few people can say they truly dedicated their life to what they love, but Art Van Camp was one of them.

From an infant playing in the sandbox with toy construction machinery to a quasi-retiree operating his vintage dozer at HCEA Canada events, Van Camp’s numerous roles in the industry were not labour in the traditional sense; they were fulfilling a passion.

His dedication earned him a local reputation as a skilled operator and international respect from the heavy equipment and construction industries.

“Work was my hobby as well as my job. I never really thought of it as a job and I don’t really have any other hobbies,” Van Camp told Equipment Journal in 2019. “I did what I loved my entire working life.”

On Dec. 9, the construction and heavy equipment communities learned Van Camp, who was in his early 80s, had passed away.

“I lost a good dad, and we lost a good man,” his son Dave Van Camp said. “I'm really proud of him, and I'm proud to be his son, that's for sure. He was an icon really.”

Since his childhood, Art Van Camp was captivated by construction and the machines used to get the job done. Throughout his life, Van Camp worked as an operator, a heavy equipment dealer, a Director of the Ontario Road Building Association (ORBA), a Director of the John Deere Dealership Association, a Director of the Historical Construction Equipment Association (HCEA) Canada, President of the Canadian Association of Equipment Distributors and a Committee Member of the Ontario Stone Sand and Gravel Association. After retirement, he started his own consulting firm and returned to the operator seat on occasion at his son’s business, DVC Contracting.

“I'd always try to get him out to run the dozer or whatever. He was an operator. That’s what he wanted to do. He never wanted to stop,” Dave said.

In 2020, Dave Van Camp invited his father to ConExpo along with some of his younger employees from DVC Contracting.

“We met him at the show the first morning.

He's like, ‘come on, come on, come on.’ He had it all figured out,” Dave recalled. “These younger guys said to me, ‘Where did you find this guy? He's running around here like a chicken with his head cut off.’ He knew about every second person he ran into. He was the one keeping everybody moving.”

The early days As a teenager, Van Camp began working at his family’s sand and gravel business in Port Perry, Ontario. It was there he developed a reputation as a dozer operator.

His skill level became so well known, customers would request him by name for their jobs.

After a few years in the operator seat, his passion for heavy iron caught the attention of a friend in equipment sales, and Van Camp was offered a job selling motor graders in Eastern Ontario. In his first year in equipment sales, he drove more than 186,000 km.

Van Camp Equipment After attending ConExpo in 1975, Van Camp’s career changed direction. He was so impressed by John Deere’s booth he promised himself he would someday become a dealer for the brand.

Van Camp achieved that goal about 18 months after the show. Deere had an opening for a dealer covering the Hamilton and Niagara regions, and A.H. Van Camp Equipment was born in Stoney Creek, Ontario.

“He had such passion for customers and passion to take on that business. It was 24/7 for Art. He just threw everything he had into that dealership,” said Bart Brooks, who worked as Van Camp's competitor at Crothers and later as his coworker at Nortrax.

“His product knowledge was second to none. And once you were a customer of Art’s, you were a customer for life.”

In 1998, A.H. Van Camp merged with Woodland Tractor and formed Ontrac Equipment Services Inc. Ontrac began to acquire dealerships across Eastern Canada. The company grew to include 22 heavy equipment dealerships across Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador. Deere acquired the network of dealerships in 2004, and the company became Nortrax Canada in 2008.

Van Camp became the Executive Vice President of Nortrax, where he worked until retirement in 2014. Brandt acquired Nortrax in 2019.

“Art was the John Deere guy,” said Don Switzer, Chief Operating Officer at Brandt.

“All of the dealers are committed to the John Deere brand, but Art was next level.”

When Switzer joined Deere in 1985, Van Camp was already a company icon. Although Van Camp had achieved notoriety, he always had time for new faces within the company.

“He was one of the guys that would actually spend time with the new and younger people and help them understand the business,” Switzer said.

When Switzer joined Nortrax as Vice President and General Manager, he worked side-by-side with Van Camp and learned how he was able to achieve his reputation: high standards and a positive approach to solving any problem.

“Art was a master at handling difficult situations. No hill was too steep for Art. It did not matter what was going on. Art was going to climb that hill,” Switzer said.

“He was firm and fair and set high standards. He had high standards for himself and high standards for everybody else around him.”

In 2011, Brooks joined Nortrax as General Manager of the original Van Camp Equipment branches in Stoney Creek and Cambridge. After taking on the role, it became obvious that Van Camp’s enthusiasm was contagious.

“You could just see the distinct culture. It was still an Art Van Camp culture,” Brooks said.

Van Camp’s impact also extended to the

Brooks explained when Van Camp would visit the John Deere headquarters in Moline, Illinois, everyone knew him, right up to the CEO. “Art was an icon. I would say he was one of the Top 5 impactful individuals in the heavy equipment industry,” Brooks said.

Dealer advocacy Van Camp’s vast knowledge of heavy equipment operation also helped to fine tune products for John Deere Construction. Van Camp came up with the idea of establishing an advocacy group that would allow customers and dealers to provide input on new machines.

During a drive to Niagara Falls in 1985, he pitched the advocacy group idea to Jim White, who at the time was Senior Vice President of John Deere.

From there, Van Camp would contribute to the development of about 34 Deere machines.

His last contribution to the advocacy group was working on the development of the 944K wheel loader released in 2015.

Van Camp’s extensive product knowledge stemmed from a passion for machines and a photographic memory. He was known as a “human Rolodex” for both machines and people.

“He would be able to tell you the serial numbers of the first machines he ever sold.

If he knew you long enough, he knew your birthday and he would remember it,” Dave Van Camp said.

The John Deere Way In 2005, Author David Magee published the book The John Deere Way, which highlights business lessons that can be learned from the company’s management principles and corporate values.

“Art is the only dealer in all of North America that is actually mentioned in that book,” Brooks said.

ORBA Hall of Fame In 2019, Van Camp’s achievements were recognized with an induction into the ORBA Hall of Fame.

Michael Rugeroni, who worked with Van Camp at Nortrax and competed with him at other dealers, nominated him to become the 23rd member of the Hall of Fame.

“The man lived and breathed construction equipment, from cranes to dozers to new products to loaders to excavators. He loved every aspect of the business,” Rugeroni said.

“There weren't many people that knew more about equipment than Art Van Camp.

People came to Art for advice on what to buy because he knew so much and he told them the truth.”

Rugeroni added Van Camp is one of possibly two Hall of Fame inductees from the equipment sales side of the business rather than contractors.

“It wasn't because he was a good salesman,” Rugeroni said. “It was because he was all in. He was committed to the industry, the customers, the people, the employees and the product.”

“What drew me to Bobcat was simple: it is the original.”

(L to R), Joe Palfy, sales specialist for Bobcat of Toronto/Oaken Equipment, Danny Zanchi, co-founder for Ontario Bollards, Steve Hommersen, Ben Brennan and Luca Zanchi of Ontario Bollards Inc. on site in Markham with their Bobcat S650 compact skid-steer.

‘It’s Not a Transaction, it’s a Relationship’: Long-time Bobcat® Customer Praises Personal Touch That Keeps Him Coming Back Danny Zanchi, has been swinging a hammer, pouring concrete and moving dirt for more than 40 years. These days, the co-founder and CEO of Ontario Bollards Inc., Canada’s leading supplier and installer of hostile-vehicle-mitigation systems (HVM) or aka anti-terrorism, spends more time in the office than on the seat of a machine.

But when he needs a skid-steer, he still calls the same Bobcat dealer he started with almost 27 years ago. For years, I researched every skid-steer brand on the market. What drew me to Bobcat was simple: it is the original. As a person who values authenticity, the “original” means something to me and Bobcat delivered exactly that.

“It started with Bob Bell, sales specialist from Bobcat of Toronto,” Zanchi says with a grin. “Great salesman, honest, quick, no nonsense. I bought my first Bobcat compact skid-steer from him. Then it got stolen. I called Bob again, bought another one, a Bobcat S185 compact skid-steer. That 2011 machine is still in the yard today. All you have to do is put fuel in it and it shows up to work every single day. Employee of the month, employee of the year.”

When Bell left, Joe Palfy, sales specialist for Bobcat of Toronto/Oaken Equipment, took over the territory. Zanchi admits he was skeptical at first, “I was used to Bob”, but Joe quickly won him over. “He’d just stop by, no pressure, just talk like a friend.

One day he shows up with Portuguese pastries because he knows I like them. That’s not selling.

That’s paying attention to the details. Next thing you know, I’ve forgotten Bob’s name and it’s just ‘Where’s Joe?’” Zanchi now runs multiple Bobcat compact skidsteers on job sites and in the company yard in Georgetown, Ontario. He uses them primarily for augering bollard holes, moving spoils, loading customer trucks and general site work. He looked at telehandlers and competitive brands but always came back to Bobcat.

“I compared every brand. At the end of the day, nothing is perfect, but Bobcat has everything we need. And the versatility with the attachments, you can’t beat it.”

“It’s never been transactional with these guys,” he says. “I can pick up the phone, ask how Joe’s family is doing, tell him what I need, and it’s taken care of. Fair price, machine shows up when it’s supposed to, 0% financing made it even better, and no headaches. When something small goes

wrong, a jug of hydraulic oil appears the same day. That’s the difference.”

Zanchi is slowly stepping back, handing the reins to the next generation he has spent years mentoring. “I am trying to work myself out of a job.

Duplicate myself, teach all my gifts and talents to these guys. I want to give them the best opportunity.” But some habits don’t change. “When it’s time for a new machine, I still call Joe. Always will.”

Bobcat isn’t just equipment for us.

It’s a partner that shows up.

COMPACT EQUIPMENT Gehl goes big with new compact loader lineup A modern redesign and hydraulic upgrades give the latest skid steers and CTLs the strength, visibility and comfort required by modern operators Gehl is answering the call for larger, more powerful compact loaders with the introduction of five new machines ranging in operating capacity from 1,474 kg to 1,633 kg.

The five new models include the 72-hp V325 skid steer ; 100-hp V335 skid steer ; 114-hp V360 skid steer; 100-hp VT335 CTL; and the 114-hp VT360 CTL. To create the machines, Gehl embarked on a major industrial redesign that matches practical functionality with a modern look to emphasizes size, strength and power. Each skid steer and CTL is manufactured in Madison, South Dakota, for the North American market.

“These new machines are second to no other make or model of skids and CTLs in the industry in terms of comprehensive performance, effectiveness, style and safety,” said Nathan Ryan, Gehl’s Global Product Manager for Skid Steers and CTLs. “They are built big, strong, simple and easy to maintain to uphold the demands of the jobsite: uptime, performance, utilization and efficiency.”

The new lineup is built with vertical lift arms for truck loading and stable material handling, while cast link construction supports ground engaging performance and steady attachment handling. The rated operating capacity reaches as high as 1,723 kg with optional side counterweights that add strength and stability while protecting the rear of the machine.

“The frame, structure and strength of these machines allow for confident lifting, carrying and placing of heavy loads,” Ryan said. “Match that with the comprehensive hydraulic performance of the machine, from movement and power to attachment operation, and you have an extremely effective and satisfying-to-operate machine.”

Hydraulics T h e n e w m o d e l s a re equipped with load sensing hydraulics for total machine performance, and comprehensive auxiliary hydraulic performance for heavy attachment use.

In addition to hydraulic horsepower up to 50.3 hp and an optional hydraulic horsepower boost (82 hp), standard load sensing hydraulics intelligently respond to the workload to optimize performance and improve fuel efficiency.

To power attachments, the new compact loaders feature standard flow rates up to 95 litres per minute and 3,450 psi and high flow rates of 151 litres per minute to 3,450 psi.

Variable rate flow controls allow the operator to set the flow going to each attachment for safe and optimal performance of the attachment, and greater overall efficiency of the machine.

This product line was tested extensively with highpower attachments such as mulching heads, cold planers and brush cutters to ensure consistent operation even in extreme conditions.

The skid steers and CTLs are also ideal for snow removal as they will easily handle large snow boxes, as well as snow blowers and brooms.

“Ideal” design

or underneath it for greater protection. The contouring of the arms also prevents material from building up on the machine and improves visibility for the operator down to the side of the machine.

Gehl’s Hydraglide comfort ride control boom suspension is now standard, improving material retention and operator comfort.

Skid steer models feature an adjustable arm downstop to accommodate different tire sizes depending on the application/owner preference.

The new machines are redesigned with a patent-pending sloped roof and a large skylight that reduces the size of the crossbar to improve visibility when loading trucks or placing pallets or other material off the ground. An optional Level 2 Falling Object Protective Structure also features brackets that protect the machine’s LED work lights.

These new design and performance elements all ride on an improved undercarriage as Gehl has added s t e e l - f o r g e d h a rd e n e d sprockets with a corrosion inhibitor for longer life; dual flange idlers in both the front and rear to prevent de-tracking and reduce vibrations and service; and triple flange rollers to reduce vibration, prevent de-tracking and limit spills.

Lighting for visibility, jobsite awareness and safety are a primary focus on the new machines. The standard front LED work lights create wide illumination and offer an egress time delay for operators exiting the machine in the dark. Rear work lights and turn signals are standard, with options available for road lights, hazard lights and side lights tucked under the lift arm.

The new large-frame skid steers and CTLs from Gehl include the IdealTrax track-tensioning system and IdealAccess fold-up door.

IdealTrax automatically extends the track to its desired tension at machine startup and relieves tension when the machine is turned off.

A big change with the new models is that IdealTrax is now set/adjusted in the machine’s in-cab monitor.

A noticeable change in the design is a unique and modern lift-arm that slopes away from the operator at Operator experience the top of the arm and alA new 18-cm colour lows for hydraulic lines to display with crisp images either run inside of the arm and graphics anchors the

operator interface, with an exclusive back-lit keypad near the right armrest that matches intuitive operation with almost full machine control. Additional standard features include a foot pedal for throttle and deceleration, cab dome lights, 12V and USB charging ports with device storage areas and removable rubber floor mats with a drain for easy clean out.

According to Gehl, the cab is among the largest in the

industry, with an adjustable workstation that allows the operator to set it up to their preference.

This includes pilot joysticks that move with the operator seat, and armrests that adjust independently.

A removable footrest improves comfort and selects from options such as a fully enclosed cab with full environmental controls, m u l t i p l e s e a t o p t i o n s, Bluetooth radio, a sound reduction package and

Gehl’s hydraulic Power-ATach attachment system for quick and easy changing of attachments.

Additional improvements include the all-new smart throttle that adjusts engine speeds based on a variety of operating factors and starts at low idle for fuel efficiency and safety. Creep mode is also available to independently set ground speed from throttle input, which allows for better and more precise attachment operation.

The 4TS Teleskid: JCB’s high horsepower gamechanger JCB’s 4TS Teleskid is raising the bar for compact equipment … by about 60-cm.

The 5.9-tonne, 109 hp 4TS Teleskid features a 4.5metre hinge pin height, about 60-cm higher than the 3TS. “So, it’s just a massive opportunity. It’s really turning a compact track loader into a kind of two-in-one machine. It's now like a telehandler and a compact track loader,” said Lee Tice, Product Manager at JCB. Thanks to its lift height, 2.4metre forward reach, 90-cm dig depth capability and an

1,800-kg rated operating capacity, the 4TS eliminates the need for a separate telehandler in many situations, providing a single machine that handles everything from grading and trenching to material handling and loading.

As a true start-to-finish tool, the 4TS allows contractors to consolidate equipment fleets and increase jobsite efficiency.

“So, we've obviously had a telescopic boom on compact track loaders before, giving those customers more reach and more height. We've taken

that a step further with this machine,” Tice said.

The 4TS Teleskid was introduced alongside the 400T compact track loader. The two machines are the first compact loaders in JCB’s lineup in the 100-hp range.

Both machines are powered by the JCB 4.4 litre EcoMax engine.

“We're really excited for our first high horsepower offering. We now have a full family of Teleskids,” Tice said.

Addressing feedback from 3TS owners, the 4TS is also able to run high-flow at-

tachments even when the boom is fully extended, overcoming a key challenge and expanding its capabilities for complex jobsite operations.

“We can now extend and retract our auxiliaries. So up to 43 gallons per minute that we can extend and retract,” Tice said. “That just expands the number of applications that the customers can do.”

The 4TS features a newly designed low-leak valve body that prevents boom drift, ensuring materials stay exactly where you need them — even when the boom is fully ex-

tended. This design delivers precision and enhanced safety on the jobsite.

The Teleskid also features side door entry thanks to its single arm design.

“It’s eliminating accidents and injuries that occur around these machines, because a lot of times that is where we see a lot of the accidents happen, when the operator is climbing in and out the front of the machine,” Tice said.

In the Teleskid cab, the 4TS is equipped with a standard fit, fully adjustable, heated,

air suspension seat.

The 4TS also features electric over hydraulic controls; optional switchable ISO-/H-pattern controls; a seven-way, multi-function joystick; and JCB’s MyChoice software to adjust joystick responsiveness to the operator’s preference.

The updated cab was designed with ease of use and operator comfort in mind.

The new touchscreen display is mounted in the top righthand side of the cab and will allow the operator to quickly change settings.

Toro’s classic Dingos gets a modern upgrade Toro is reintroducing two classic compact utility loaders (CULs), the Toro Dingo TX 450 and TX 550, with a modern design.

The new look maintains the same performance and easy-to-use walk-behind style that Toro has delivered for more than 20 years.

For rental houses looking to cater to renters, the Toro Dingo TX 450 and TX 550 deliver a balance of performance, value and ease of use.

The compact machines equip operators to take on

tough jobs, such as digging, hauling and grading, without the cost or complexity of larger equipment.

“Engineered for ease, the Toro Dingo TX 450 and TX 550 are intuitive to handle,” said Kaitlyn Ingli, Product Marketing Manager at Toro. “ These machines are powerful tools whether you're planting trees and shrubs, moving materials around or installing irrigation. The refreshed Dingos offer an uncomplicated solution for projects that might

otherwise be too labour-intensive to tackle by hand.”

The Dingo TX 450 and TX 550 are compact, lightweight and deliver a light footprint to ensure the machine doesn't damage turf. Toro also offers more than 35 attachments for its Dingo line.

The newly refreshed Toro Dingo TX 450 and TX 550 will arrive at rental locations soon.

The machines will make their trade show debut at the ARA Show March 2-4, 2026, in Orlando, Florida.

Wacker Neuson confirms acquisition talks with Doosan Bobcat Wacker Neuson SE has confirmed it is in discussions regarding acquisition of majority stake and takeover

by Doosan Bobcat Inc. Following media reports of the discussion, Wacker Neuson issued a news release confir ming its Executive Board is in “advanced discussions” with Doosan Bobcat regarding the possible acquisition of a majority stake in Wacker Neuson as well as a public

takeover of Wacker Neuson

by Doosan Bobcat.

According to the news release, Doosan Bobcat is considering the acquisition of 63 per cent of Wacker Neuson’s share capital from major shareholders and launching a public takeover offer in the form of an all-cash offer to all remaining Wacker Neuson shareholders.

“At present, Wacker Neuson cannot predict whether

the sale of shares by the major shareholders or a public takeover offer will actually take place. Wacker Neuson will inform the capital markets and the public of any further developments in accordance with legal requirements,” Wacker Neuson said in the news release.

Wa cke r Ne u s o n i s a global manufacturer of construction and compact equipment. The company’s

roots date back 177 years ago when Johann Christian Wacker set up a blacksmith shop in Dresden, Germany.

Today the Wacker Neuson Group, headquartered in Munich, Germany, employs about 6,000 people worldwide.

Wa c k e r N e u s o n o f fers a wide array of light equipment and compact equipment machines, including concrete and soil compaction tools, demoli-

tion tools and generators, as well as compact excavators, wheel loaders, skid-steers, telescopic handlers and dumpers.

Doosan Bobcat is a subsidiary of Doosan Corporation and is known for its Bobcat line of compact equipment.

Bobcat was founded in 1947 as Melroe Manufacturing Company, which introduced the first skids t e e r l o a d e r. D o o s a n

Infracore acquired Bobcat in 2007, rebranding to Doosan Bobcat in 2015.

Doosan Infracore, which manufactures heavy equipment, and Doosan Bobcat were formally separated into independent companies in 2018.

Later, in 2021, Doosan Infracore was sold to Hyundai Heavy Industries, while Bobcat remained within the Doosan Group under Doosan Heavy Industries.

Takeuchi’s South Carolina facility achieves ISO 9001:2015 certification The Takeuchi-US assembly plant in Moore, South Carolina has achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification.

Achieving ISO 9001:2015 certification recognizes that an organization has implemented a quality management system (QMS) meeting the requirements of the international ISO 9001 standard.

“One of our strategic objectives for 2025 was to create a business and/or quality management system that would allow for scale,” said Chris Burdette, Director of Operations at Takeuchi’s Moore facility.

“This certification is just another example of our vision becoming a reality through strong action planning, collaboration and execution. I firmly believe that our mentality, when we began this objective, set us apart and allowed us to be successful. ISO certification was not the destination, but instead, a verification of effectiveness for the system we installed to manage change, mitigate risk and leverage opportunities with speed.”

The certification process typically takes a minimum of one to two years and requires companies to fully under-

stand the standard, assess gaps, document processes, implement a plan and undergo an audit to ensure they meet the standard's requirements for consistent quality and customer satisfaction.

“To achieve ISO certification, we embraced the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle as our compass,” said Alisha Needs, Quality Manager at Takeuchi’s Moore facility.

“We began by honestly assessing where we stood and envisioning where we needed to be. With guidance from seasoned experts and a clear understanding of our strengths and gaps, we

transformed insight into action. Our team didn’t just follow a plan — we owned it, executed it, and elevated our standards. It wasn’t just about certification; it was about becoming better than we were yesterday.”

For Takeuchi customers, the certification provides assurance their compact equipment meets the high standards.

Thanks to data-driven evaluation and feedback, Takeuchi can determine any processes that need improvement and take action using a customer-first approach that reflects the company’s

ongoing commitment to the people who depend on their machines every day.

“This certification is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our South Carolina team,” said Jeff Stewart,

President of Takeuchi-US. “Their commitment to excellence ensures that every machine leaving this facility reflects the standards our customers expect from Takeuchi.”

FORESTRY Tigercat’s trio of next gen feller bunchers New 720H, 724H and 726H feller bunchers feature a longer wheelbase, redesigned cab, improved visibility and expanded hydraulic options Tigercat has launched a new trio of next gen H-series feller bunchers equipped with major upgrades.

The next generation driveto-tree feller bunchers includes the 720H, 724H and 726H. The wheelbase of all three machines has been increased by 115 mm and the physical size of the 720H and 724H remains identical.

By increasing the wheelbase, and a built-in 410-kg rear bumper, Tigercat improved handling and stability while decreasing the turn radius to increased agility in tight stands.

When equipped with the Tigercat FPT N67 Tier 4 Final engine, the 720H is rated at 203 hp, the 724H is rated at 246 hp, and the 726H is rated at 285 hp.

The common operator’s cab has been completely redesigned and includes increased interior volume for more legroom, additional storage and a roomier feel.

Tigercat also improved operator sightlines with a front windshield that is 27 per cent larger and rear quarter windows that are 40 per cent larger. Visibility is

also enhanced by the dual camera rearVIEW system. For upward visibility, the skylight is 40 per cent larger and installed directly on a 20 mm forward sloping roof plate to easily shed debris. As well, the operator can easily access the outside of the front window area for cleaning.

Simplified joysticks with programmable buttons allow the operator to customize controls for the clamp and accumulator arms, saw, differential locks and drive functions. The roof-mounted A/C system, common with the 600H series skidders, improves cooling performance and comfort.

Another major change for the H-series feller bunchers is a new hydraulic system option. Loggers now have the choice of the tried-andtrue gear pump system, or the new piston pump load sense system for improved multifunctioning. Both system choices maintain the use of pilot operated joysticks for boom and steer control.

New in-tank hydraulic filtration extends service intervals up to 2,000 hours.

Maintenance and service improvements include a larger engine air filter, a more conveniently located manual fuel fill port, an optional ground level fuelling system and improved access to the hydraulic pumps and electrical systems.

X877 buncher Tigercat’s first production X877 feller buncher is also now at work in central Canada.

The new X877 track feller buncher is the next model built on the sloped-tail platform to roll off the assembly line and onto a Canadian logging operation.

The X877 is a high-perform-

ance carrier with a closed loop drive system. As a result, the machine has excellent multifunction characteristics, which is ideal for highly skilled and experienced operators looking to boost productivity.

The sloped-tail platform delivers tail clearance when swinging over obstacles, while retaining clear and convenient access to daily service points and machine components.

With a fully retracting roof enclosure, both sides of the engine, valves and hydraulic pump area are exposed and easy to reach. The upper assembly is designed to house both the Tigercat FPT N67 and C87 engines for improved

commonality.

The long track frames and an integrated counterweight ensure machine balance and stability. As well, a newly designed ER boom system offers tighter tuck and a larger boom envelope. ER technology, developed exclusively by Tigercat Industries, reduces operator fatigue and conserves energy.

The operator's cab is equipped with a comfortable parallel action suspension seat with integrated heating and cooling, and full adjustability. Clear sightlines and ergonomic positioning of controls reduce operator fatigue over long shifts.

850 processor

grammed carrier saw control gains saw home and position sensors, proportional bar feed and electronic saw motor control. The result is

enhanced overall productivity, with from-the-seat tuning, on-display feedback and operator-selectable saw functions to tailor performance.

The top horn can be equipped with different styles of interchangeable grip plates to customize for different applications and seasons.

Tigercat’s 850 processor, its purpose-built alternative to excavator conversions, has also been upgraded for improved performance.

The performance and fuel efficiency differential has been further increased. Initial field testing confirms that the 14 per cent increase in power to 251 hp results in improved machine performance and response — quicker, smoother boom cycles, improved feed acceleration and braking, as well as a more powerful swing. In addition, hydraulic system refinements target boom efficiency, reducing fuel consumption.

Tigercat debuts fixed felling saw, attachments transition to the TCi brand As part of its evolving international brand strategy, Tigercat is rebranding its entire line of harvesting heads, felling heads, grapples, mulching heads and other attachments under the TCi badge.

The rebrand will provide a single identity for Tigercat Industries attachments worldwide. The TCi brand was created to address limitations on the use of the Tigercat brand name in specific markets.

The TCi badge indicates the attachment is engineered, supported by Tigercat Industries and designed to optimize the performance of the Tigercat or TCi carrier equipped with the attachment.

“Customers can expect

the same quality, reliability and durability across the full range of attachments as this is a branding change only. The value proposition remains unchanged,” the company said in a news release.

TCi branded attachments will transition worldwide, starting in the 2026 model year. Harvesting heads and some felling attachments will begin to arrive on dealer lots in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Tigercat Industries has also released the first 5185B fixed felling saw, which is branded TCi. The new fixed felling saw includes updates and enhancements designed to improve the performance and productivity in large timber falling applications.

Cutting capabilities have been increased by enlarging the saw box to fit a longer 114 cm bar.

The most significant improvement is the new Tigercat 750RP saw unit with a full 240 degree bar feed angle, enabling single-side back cuts.

This greatly reduces machine travel when felling large trees to enhance overall productivity, reduce potential tree damage, minimize ground disturbance and improve fuel efficiency.

The Tigercat 750RP is an evolution of the proven Tigercat 750, incorporating a ring-and-pinion hydraulic drive instead of the external cylinder, while retaining other proven service parts.

The new Tigercat-pro-

How mulching can help defend and rebuild fire-prone regions In fire-prone regions across the country, landowners and mulching professionals are often faced with the task of cleanup and recovery.

When wildfires affect these landscapes, the immediate focus for operators must be on clearing hazardous debris, stabilizing the land and ensuring damaged areas do not become even more vulnerable to erosion and invasive species.

Mulching stands out as a critical part of this process, offering a controlled and eco-conscious approach to rehabilitating fire-damaged areas and making them more resilient. With the right equipment, landowners can efficiently restore their properties while also reinforcing their landscapes against risk.

Nate Cleveringa, Vice President of Engineering

and Product Management at Diamond Mowers, offered several tips for effective postfire cleanup and defense against future fire risk.

Fires affect landscapes differently depending on the region. Understanding these distinctions can help land contractors choose the right methods and equipment for recovery.

Forest fires: Since these fires typically involve dense, woody debris, an open drum mulcher is best for removing large trees in forested areas.

“Our new Drum Mulcher OD Pro X2 features durable carbide teeth to handle thick vegetation, making it ideal for forest fire recovery where clearing large remnants quickly is essential for land restoration,” Cleveringa said.

Brush fires: Brush fires tend to occur in scrubland

environments and leave behind tangled, low-lying greenery. The sharp, powerful blades of a brush cutter enable it to efficiently cut through weeds and shrubs a regular mower or trimmer might struggle with and restore land to its natural state.

Prairie fires: These fires move quickly across grasslands and can leave debris that contributes to erosion and invasive plant growth.

Here, again, a drum mulcher is the best choice for processing thick patches of tough vegetation.

Post-fire safety P o s t- f i re l a n d s c a p e s present unique dangers and hazardous conditions that need to be addressed carefully. Taking the right precautions helps to ensure the safety of workers and the ef-

fectiveness of cleanup efforts.

Assess for hidden hazards: Unstable trees and smoldering vegetation can compromise operator safety or cause further damage if left unattended.

Use appropriate protective gear: Operators should be equipped with helmets, gloves and safety glasses to protect against flying debris, sharp objects or accidental contact with machinery.

“A minimum half-inch thick polycarbonate operator protection is required, and some applications may require additional safeguards,” Cleveringa said.

Make sure to address highrisk areas first, especially near buildings or infrastructure, to eliminate immediate threats.

Prioritizing these zones also allows for emergency repairs or access to critical areas sooner.

When tackling post-fire cleanup, it’s important to start with more perilous areas where erosion or regrowth pose significant risks.

Slopes are particularly vulnerable to landslides or soil erosion after a fire, so

and cultivating long-term resilience. Landowners can support these goals by incorporating mulching as part of their ongoing land management efforts and following these strategies: Track regrowth: Conduct land assessments on mulched areas to identify invasive species that can out-compete native grasses and disrupt the ecosystem. Regular checks allow for timely intervention and promote a more balanced landscape where native and fire-adaptive plants can thrive.

Incorporate firebreaks: Establish defensible zones that minimize ladder fuels and help contain future fires.

Well-maintained firebreaks safeguard homes, buildings and utility infrastructure from spreading fires and protect valuable property in high-risk zones.

Cultivate resilience Enhance soil health and An important aspect of biodiversity: Mulching post-fire recovery is prereturns organic materiparing for future disasters al to the soil, enriching it with nutrients that promote native plant regrowth.

With its extended reach, an excavator drum mulcher is an ideal option for accessing burnt vegetation in hard-toreach areas and creating a protective layer over the soil on steep terrains.

Burnt debris and loose soil can wash into streams or rivers, impacting water quality and local ecosystems.

A brush cutter excels at clearing smaller vegetation around tight waterways, which contributes to a reduction in runoff contamination.

Another strategy is to thin vegetation to create firebreaks and protective buffers around homes, businesses, utility poles and other infrastructure.

“Engineered for heavy ground engagement and processing harsh materials, the Drum Mulcher OD Pro X2 is the perfect ‘go-to’ tool for large-scale tasks like this,” Cleveringa explained.

New Ponsse feature tracks logging emissions A new tool in the Ponsse Manager system is able to help loggers track their emissions to meet environmental requirements.

The Emissions Report function included in the Manager Pro service package calculates and shows the atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions of harvesters and forwarders on the machine, site and company level for a given period.

“The monitoring of site-specific emissions helps reduce fuel consumption, which effectively supports the meeting of both environmental requirements and business goals,” said Petteri Tuomisto, Ponsse’s Sales Manager of Digital Services.

“Emission reporting also helps to identify which machines are best suited for different logging sites. The reports provide different perspectives to emissions: from

individual machines to the company level by working method or period.”

The Ponsse Manager system collects data produced by forest machines and visualize it as user-friendly reports. Available as a paid Ponsse Manager Pro and free Ponsse Manager Standard service package, the system brings improved transparency and control to the work of forest machine owners, operators and office workers.

While a Ponsse harvester is required to provide data, any forwarder — including a subcontractor forwarder — can be connected to the system.

“We’re constantly developing digital solutions for our customers’ needs.

Accordingly, we developed the new features, Emissions Report and Map Tools, in cooperation with our network,” Tuomisto said.
