...In the beginning, there was a French company called CIMAF that was purchased by Denis Equipment, a forestry attachment company then well known for its stroke delimbers. Somewhere around 1989, Denis Equipment sold two drum-style brushcutters to the Canadian National Railway company (CN for...

You've seen our DAH-080C in the past, mounted on a Kubota KX080-3. Now available on a YouTube page near you are two new stories about the impossible love between a mulcher-equipped excavator and the lovely trees she encounters. One is with this Yanmar SV100, and one is with this older...

Hello all, Feeling like going in the hot weather this Wednesday to watch trees being eaten by the best mulching heads available? :D Then come to our 1st Demo Day, held in Kilmarnock, VA. Exact location should normally be visible by clicking on this Google Maps link. Heavy equipment dealers...

This is in reply to IronHorse's comment in this other thread. Options to make a reverse rotation head are easy: - About a year and a half ago, we did an inverted DAH-150E (DAH-150Ei) for a customer who had a Timbco (with boom on left side of the cab). Easy to make another one. That would be my...

Hi all, I haven't been active here recently, being caught in many projects at the shop. But I think it's been long enough since I should have posted this. As some of you already know, the situation between DENIS CIMAF and Gyro-Trac has changed, and the legal fight has been settled...

Hi all, My brothers Ben and Simon have been working on the development of a mini-skidder (see their web site). Of course, they are talking about making a specific version to be used as a mulching platform. From reading the posts here, I know people often make mention of pressurized cab, A/C...

Good afternoon all, This week, in civil case #2:06-cv-02539-MBS of US District Court, District of South Carolina, Charleston Division, Gyro-Trac was found guilty of fraud, violation of South Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act, and what I guess can be translated as "business misconduct" (see...

Where do you guys look for used attachment for sale? I have two DAF-080 (that's the former version of our DAF-180D). One is a demo unit, the other one is still brand new. But since the new models are out, I'd like to get rid of them. Right now, the demo unit is in Robbie's hands and he'll...

Good morning all, Is there someone here that owns or operate a Toma-Ax low-flow brushcutter-chipper head made by Gyro-Trac? I'd like to get some feedbacks and infos from him/her. Thanks, Fred
