Hereford, Texas - Miniloaders.com., a compact loaders manufacturer, is expanding its lineup with remote-control tracked chippers and stump grinders, including what it says is the smallest remote-control stump grinder currently available in the United States. The first models introduced to the U.S. market are the Jo Beau M600 Gorilla chipper and the Jo Beau B37-110RC stump grinder.
Designed and manufactured in Bruges, Belgium, Jo Beau machines are engineered for compactness, safety, and ease of use in urban environments.
Jo Beau M600 Gorilla
The M600 Gorilla processes branches up to 7 inches in diameter, with an average feed speed of 46 feet per minute and an average chip capacity of 23 cubic yards per hour. Operation and movement are controlled via radio remote control. Individually extendable diagonal stabilizing X-tracks allow the machine to be positioned on uneven terrain.
Power comes from a 40-horsepower EFI Vanguard engine that works with the feed roller and feed system to regulate intake and engine RPMs. The feed hopper can be hydraulically raised and lowered. The chipper weighs 1,880 pounds, is 29 inches wide, and can be transported on a small trailer. It is suited for property management, pruning, and backyard cleanup.

Miniloaders.com says the 37-horsepower Jo Beau B37-110RC is the smallest remote-control stump grinder available in the U.S. The machine is 29 inches wide and weighs 1,345 pounds. The cutter wheel can be raised to a fully upright position for compact transport.
Remote control operation allows the operator to observe the grinding process from a safe position. The stump grinder features an 18-inch GrinDisc wheel with 12 Greenteeth 900-series teeth. An auto-sweep function lowers the grinding wheel by one inch on each pass.
