CFIS SOFTWARE
NOW IN CANADA
Computerized Farm Information
Systems (CFIS) began distributing a
"shareware" version of its Farm General
Ledger software in Canada last month.
Farmers can get the software for
IBM-compatible PCs directly from
CFIS for a disk -preparation and han-
dling fee of $25 (U.S.). This shareware
software may then be copied and given,
free of charge, to others.
The shareware distribution system
allows the user to evaluate the software
without having to purchase it first.
When the user purchases a registered
copy, complete user manuals and tutori-
als are provided. The cost of the regis-
tered copy is $100. Farmers who order
the original diskettes from CFIS will be
given a $25 credit.
To order, send $25 (U.S.) to Com-
puterized Farm Information Systems,
1710 Oldridge Avenue North, P.O. Box
302, Stillwater, MN, 55082.0
MACHINE GRINDS
STUMPS AWAY
StumpsterTM Canada recently intro-
duced North America's first tractor -
mounted tree and stump removal ma-
chines, the Tree Hog® and the Beaver®.
The Tree Hog is designed to cut trees
and stumps to 1 1/2" below grade, while
the Beaver uses a patented system to
grind stumps to 8" below grade.
The machines, which retail for under
$6,000 Canadian each, use a tractor's
engine and power take -off system
which decreases their purchase cost
relative to conventional self -powered
machines.
The Tree Hog, used for tree and
stump cutting, uses a 40" diameter, 3/4"
steel plate wheel with carbide cutting
bits to handle softwood and hardwood
trees up to 16" in diameter in a single cut,
taking about 10 seconds.
Using a grinding system with a 26"
wheel of 3/4" steel plate fitted with car-
bide cutting bits, the Beaver has reduced
a 16" high, 19" diameter stump of oak to
an 8" hole in under three minutes. The
tree grinder is available in 16" or 24"
