Tree care professionals can now have the ability to access more complete solutions for all their tree removal, maintenance and cleanup needs through a new partnership between Ditch Witch and Branch Manager. This collaboration aims to create a one-stop shop for ordering Ditch Witch stand-on skid-steers and Branch Manager’s tree care attachments, creating a new solution for tree care professionals.
As part of the packaged solutions, customers will receive a single warranty covering both the machine and the attachment. Additionally, the combined offerings can also be purchased through a single financing program from Ditch Witch Financial Services.
“Tree care professionals can now easily find, order and finance the complete solutions that they need for a variety of jobs,” said Brant Kukuk, Ditch Witch product manager. “By pairing our versatile and reliable stand-on skid-steers with tree care attachments from an industry leader that has made tree care projects simpler for more than 20 years, contractors can boost job site efficiency, reduce labor and simplify complex tasks on the job site.”
Through the partnership, customers can combine Ditch Witch stand-on skid-steers, up to the SK1750, with five Branch Manager attachments, including four new grapples and a rake.
Utilizing Hardox wear plate, BMG mini skid-steer log grapples offer improved strength and abrasion resistance to various tree care projects. The grapples are available in free and powered rotation, offer lifting capacities to 3,000 pounds (1360 kg) and aim to enhance performance and precision for tree care contractors in pick-and-place tasks.
Designed to fit the Branch Manager log grapple, the BMG Rake can save hours on tree removal job sites, according to the company. The rake attachment is ideal for sweeping stump chips, pine needles, rocks or other materials that tree care professionals would otherwise need to rake by hand.
Ditch Witch and Branch Manager are committed to deepening their partnership by exploring opportunities to introduce a broader range of products and attachments, according to the companies.
“We are actively collaborating to broaden our portfolio of tree care offerings,” said Kukuk. “This ongoing partnership will enhance the capabilities of tree care professionals and ensure they have access to the most comprehensive and advanced tools in the industry.”
