what are we looking at with this? So, this is a different box stump grinder and it's manufactured in Estonia. We are here at the ConExpo with the owners, the inventors, and the manufacturers. We are a dealer in Oregon. We're the only United States dealer so far. We started out as a customer, bought the first one in 2020, loved it, used it, put it through its paces, couldn't break it. We're loggers by trade, and so it had to be kind of logger-proof. So, since then, the company asked me to be a dealer, and we did. We love this product. It comes in three sizes. The large one is the 850. That goes on like a 5-ton excavator. The middle one is the 600, and the small unit is the SC 400. Um it will take down a stump in about 90 seconds. It's got a two-speed planetary motor, so it automatically shifts into low gear if you get into hardwoods. Um it comes with some blade options. The serrated blades are a little bit more aggressive for hardwoods. They're made out of Hardox, uh in Estonia again. And uh it works kind of like a mole. You can actually bury it down beneath the soil. Rocks and things don't seem to bother it. If you do nick an edge of the blade, you just unbolt them, flip them around, and you're back in service. Now, this is a low-impact, so a person can stand next to it and not worry about chips flying. Correct. There is no real safety perimeter. There's also no moving teeth that are going or need to be calibrated. On other mulching heads and things like that, they have a series of teeth, and if one of those teeth gets broken, you have to take all of them out, recalibrate the machine, and you know, you risk the operator injury, [music] and you also risk, you know, chips flying and parts flying, and you know, knocking people's windshields or houses. We take it in We do a lot of like city work, uh sidewalk projects. We can get right between houses, cars, and uh get down to the roots, destroy the whole root system without disrupting distribution boxes, cable lines, that sort of thing. So, it's got a real low forestry impact. It's also quiet, and it's simple to use. Where do you guys find out more info on it, Courtney?
