Tree care professionals can now access complete and comprehensive solutions for all their tree removal, maintenance and cleanup needs through a new partnership between Ditch Witch and Branch Manager.

This collaboration creates a one-stop shop for ordering Ditch Witch stand-on skid steers and Branch Manager's tree care attachments, creating a seamless and efficient solution for tree care professionals, according to the companies.

As part of the packaged solutions, customers will benefit from a single warranty covering both the machine and the attachment, simplifying the support process, according to the companies. In addition, the combined offerings also can 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 jobsite 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.

• BMG mini-skid steer log grapples: Utilizing Hardox wear plate, these grapples offer optimal strength and superior abrasion resistance to various tree care projects. BMG's log grapples, available in free and powered rotation, offer lifting capacities to 3,000 lbs. for tree care contractors in pick-and-place tasks.

• BMG Rake: Designed to fit the Branch Manager log grapple. 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."
