REVERSE FIREWOOD SPLITTER BY HALVERSON WOOD PRODUCTS

The Halverson Wood Products Reverse Firewood Splitter is designed to split large logs up to 29 inches long and up to 36 inches (plus) in diameter.

This device complements the Halverson grapple saw by splitting large logs that the grapple can cut through.

The inverted splitter is standardly equipped with a stationary, four-way splitting head. It is a one-man operation with simple controls. Operate the machine from the safety and comfort of the cab on a skid steer loader, mini excavator or even a tractor. It’s also mobile – take it to the logger instead of bringing it to the splitter.

The inverted splitter is easy to set up and store with quick attach/detach. Now you can process wood directly into your truck or trailer. Perfect for light commercial and residential applications, the HWP-120 and HWP-140B skid steer firewood loaders from Halverson Wood Products in Pine River, Minnesota truly make your job hassle-free.

LUHR-JENSEN INTRODUCES JET DIVES, JENSEN DODGER AND DIPSY DIVER

Some anglers love the art and science of trolling for salmon, steelhead, lake trout, kokanee, walleye and other toothy monsters in the Great Lakes and the Pacific Northwest.

The Luhr-Jensen name has been synonymous with meeting their needs for decades with baits and accessories designed specifically for trolling enthusiasts.

Jet diver

Luhr-Jensen’s Jet Diver features a unique floating design that collects water pressure on its wings for diving; however, when the pressure is released, the Jet Diver will float out of the structure.

Jensen Trout and Kokanee Dodger

At just 4 inches in total length, the Jensen Trout and Kokanee Dodger are the perfect attractor for trout and kokanee.

Dodger’s sharp side-to-side swimming action provides a vivid display of spoons, flies and small squid trailing behind him. High-quality Luhr-Jensen coating and polishing ensures long service life and maximum shine.

Dipsy Diver

The special round shape and the resulting multidirectionality distinguish the Dipsy Diver® from all other divers and planers. For this reason, it has become a favorite trolling bait for fishing for freshwater salmon, striped bass, trout and walleye.
