Also known as tree borers, wood borers feed on and make habitats from trees and other woody plants. They belong to a variety of insect groups, including beetles, wasps, and moths, and are often the larva of these species.

When choosing the right specs for your new mowing tractor, or replacing worn-out tires on an existing tractor, it’s important to select the right tires for your mowing application. Tires that are too big might rub on components. Tires that are too small might allow the frame to drag on the ground as you enter and exit a ditch. Some types of tires perform better than others. In this article, we look into important items to keep in mind during the selection process.

Power Place has been a family-owned and operated business for over 35 years. Gus & Janice Ottoson opened Power Place in 1983 and strive to be the best Outdoor Power Equipment dealer in Northern New Jersey. They rented a small building in Rockaway, NJ, and took on manufactures like Toro and Redmax. In 2007 Gus & Janice’s son Josh and daughter Sara joined the Power Place team. In 2009 Power Place acquired Haver’s Lawn Mower in Whitehouse Station, NJ, and took on John Deere as a full-line commercial dealer. Power Place now maintains both of these locations today.

If you have recently used a mulcher attachment to clear a significant amount of brush or trees from a piece of property, you likely have an abundance of fresh wood chips on your hands. While it is possible to recycle or otherwise dispose of the chips, that isn't the only option.

In Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas, the eastern red-cedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) has substantially reduced livestock production and profitability by 75% in the rangelands it invades.

Originally limited to rocky bluffs and other areas where fire couldn't reach them, eastern red-cedar tree populations expanded with the introduction of European land management practices to the United States. A decrease in controlled burns allowed forests to spread, including this now-invasive species. It extended from its native Kansas to nearby states, where it overtakes prairie plant life.

There are many ways to make money with a Skid-Steer or Compact Track Loader (CTL). There is the typical "hook on a bucket and start moving dirt" type of work, or hauling rock, or just general material handling. This is the arena Skid-Steers started and has saved contractors countless trips with a wheelbarrow and shovels. 

Over the years of hunting with family and friends, I have had the pleasure of hunting on both well-maintained and overgrown land. There is nothing worse than hoofing through thick brush to get to a prime location and still not getting that clear shot due to overrun brush and trees.
