The Retriever truck beds from Versatran, Watertown, Wis., feature a low-loading angle and curved deck, allowing equipment to be driven onto the bed, eliminating winching. Track-mounted equipment can be loaded without damage from breakover, the company says. The truck bed can load and unload payloads up to 40,000 lbs. with the truck’s engine turned off.

The upper of the two freezer drawers is a shallower, full-width bin with a two-position divider. The divider neatly annexes the ice cube maker and ice storage box. A little plastic jug is supplied to fill the trays, which twist to release ice into the bin below. The little ice scoop is a neat touch and saves frosty fingers. The inner liner of the drawer comes out for cleaning when empty, but won’t easily shift when full.

6sqft recently visited the factory and, of course, had a sampling of all the whimsical flavors (including the factory’s signature flavor that is an homage to the Dutch settlers of Red Hook). We also took a tour of the space with Ample Hills’ creative director Lauren Kaelin, who designed the space’s interactive 22-foot-wide map of Brooklyn and educational exhibits. She took us behind-the-scenes in both the ice cream production side and the bakery (Ample Hills makes all its mix-ins by hand) and filled us in on some secrets of the sweet company.

The 30SG stump grinder from Barreto Manufacturing, La Grand, Ore., features a hydraulically-driven cutter wheel that is raised and lowered into the stump and then moved from side to side to cut it down. The stump grinder offers 134 degrees of head swing covering a 99.7-in. span. The tracks are driven by independent hydrostatic pumps mounted on the rear of the engine for easy access and simple linkage control, the company says. Counterbalance valves on each track drive prevent the motors from slipping while the cutter wheel is engaged, even while operating on a slope.
