Mini skid steer The City operates one mini skid steer equipped with a forestry grapple attachment, ideal for grabbing, lifting and moving logs, branches and debris. This versatile machine is used for forestry work, land clearing and storm cleanup. Its ability to handle heavy loads enhances efficiency, reduces manual labor and accelerates the completion of challenging tasks.
Stump grinder The City operates one stump grinder, a machine designed to remove tree stumps by grinding them into small wood chips. It features a rotating cutting wheel with blunt teeth that efficiently break down the stump, facilitating area clearance for new tree planting or site restoration. In 2024, approximately 2,717 stump grindings were completed.
Line painters The City operates six line painters, used to refresh boundary lines on baseball diamonds. Each line painter consists of three wheels, a central bucket and a handle. Staff fill the bucket with chalk and wheel the painter across the field to accurately mark the lines. Line painting is conducted as needed, typically when an inspector identifies that the lines have begun to fade.
