Dougherty Fabrication has completed construction of a new 27,000 square foot factory in the Hinton area. This state-of-the-art manufacturing facility houses a plasma cutter and CNC Press Brake. Along with these machines are a custom paint & sand blasting system. Besides utilizing the latest technology in manufacturing the entire facility is climate controlled. Commenting on the company’s expansion, Patrick Dougherty, CEO of Dougherty Forestry Manufacturing stated, “Our growth relies upon the integrity of our products and customer satisfaction. We are pleased this expansion reaffirms our recipe for success and our commitment to quality attachments.” Mr. Dougherty went on to say, “We’ve found that if you build a reputation for excellence then you’re going to grow with your customers. We’re proud to meet the challenge of unprecedented demand.”

The manufacturers of the bestselling line of tree & brush cutters introduce a new tool for skid loaders that cut up to 3” a second. The TQ3000R works exclusively on standard flow machines and it maximizes the loaders hydraulic flow for the best cutting performance. The versatile TQ3000R features carbide teeth for cutting be¬low the ground and rotates to trim limbs & cut logs.

The TQ3000R is part of Turbo Saw’s signature line of cutting attachments with more safety features, proven durability, and highest performance of any other cutter in its class.

Dougherty Forestry Announces their latest innovation in cutting attachments: the TR3200 LT.  This versatile land tool tackles large or small material in a matter of seconds with safety at the forefront of its design.

The TR3200LT features a heavy duty pushing bar that extends across the back of the attachment.  This bar utilizes the weight of the attachment, along with the weight of the tractor, to push material away during the cutting process.  Along with the wrap around blade shield and hardened skid plate the TR3200LT does the job in operator safety.  Cutting at 3-6” a second this attachment can cut a 11” tree in a single pass, and is rated for a 22” stump with a re-position. 

Much like its predecessor, the TR3200, this model operates on a 28- 120 horsepower tractor, but does not require auxiliary hydraulics.

Dougherty Forestry Manufacturing diversifies its line of tree & brush cutting attachments with their new TORQUE saw. This heavy duty tree saw can cut material up to 3" per second. It carries Turbo Saw's key features: the blade shield, skid plate, anti-wrap, & a V shield. Greg Smith, fabrication specialist, said, "Fast, durable, and efficient, this saw has it all." He later noted the key to every Turbo Saw's success is in the tooth and blade design. "Nearly a decade perfecting these teeth and blades, and you know why we're the number one tree cutter. We're just years ahead of the competition." Dougherty Forestry Manufacturing believes this TORQUE saw is the ideal tool for skid loaders running standard flow, and this model's performance is hard to beat with over 3000lbs of torque and 600 rpms.

At 12:00 P.M. central standard time Dougherty Forestry launched its new interactive website for customer support.

This website will showcase Dougherty Forestry's best selling line of Turbo Saw products while providing valuable dealer and distributor information. The website also highlights key product features along with sale programs and incentives. Dougherty Forestry's Media Director Marshall Dougherty stated, "Its exciting to launch such a great website with so much helpful information. In large part, we owe this to Ryan Lutz who spearheads our internet department. He's invaluable to the team. Dougherty Forestry Mfg. maintains three websites www.turbo-saw.com, www.doughertysaw.com, & www.tractor-saw.com. In a closing statement Marshall Dougherty said, "It's indicative of Dougherty Forestry's commitment to innovative and forward thinking technology. If you want to lead the pack you've got to stay ahead of it. This is just another example of why Dougherty Forestry is doing just that."

Dougherty Forestry recently released a new wiring harness for all of their Turbo Saw skid loader Models. This waterproof harness allows for easy operation of key features inside the comfort of the cab. Whether the operator needs to rotate the cutting head or simply activate the built-in spraying feature, this new harness works with the push of a button.

Dougherty Forestry's assembly manager, Michael Dougherty said, "Cut stumps below the ground, rotate that cutting head to cut logs, and activate that sprayer feature all in a matter of seconds. You can't beat how safe and easy that is for the operator. Dougherty Forestry Manufacturing believes this capability will be just another reason to purchase a Turbo Saw.

"Free teeth, couplers, hoses, safety features, and a built-in sprayer tank with pump- we take competitive advantage to a whole new level," Patrick Dougherty, CEO of Dougherty Forestry Mfg. said. "We want the customer to get the best deal out there. That"s why we tell future customers to shop and compare. No one comes even close." Dougherty Forestry is a family owned company that was founded in 2003 and they continue to manufacture tree & brush cutting attachments for skid loaders, tractors, and mini excavators.

Dougherty Forestry Manufacturing began full production on their new hydraulic rotating feature. This option is now available on all new DFM2600 & DFM2800 models. This feature gives operators the range and versatility to horizontally cut stumps, vertically cut logs, and trim limbs. Dougherty Forestry said they are working on a three button harness system to operate key features such as this hydraulic rotating cutting head from the safety of the skid cab. Dougherty Forestry plans on launching the waterproof harness early next month.

Dougherty Forestry officially announced the expansion of primary facilities located just outside Hinton, Oklahoma. In a brief statement Patrick Dougherty, CEO of Dougherty Forestry Mfg., said, "This is reflective of our longstanding and continued presence in the global marketplace. We are confident this growth will enable us to meet the rising demand for our successful line of Turbo Saw products, and this expansion is one of several with the last phase projected to launch our secondary location: a 16,000 square foot fabrication facility in the town of Hinton."

Dougherty Forestry Mfg. has just recently released several new products which include a whole line of grapple rakes for tractors and skid loaders.

Dougherty Forestry Mfg. expands their standardized features to provide sprayer capabilities to every skid model brush cutter. This built-in feature has storage tank, 12 volt sprayer pump, and hose protected inside the frame. The heavy duty polyurethane sprayer tank is equipped to hold either diesel or water based chemicals. Prior to this announcement every skid model had come standard with a 2" sprayer port below the blade shield for an accessory sprayer option, and the sprayer option had been attached alongside the frame.

John Dougherty, Regional Sales manager for Dougherty Forestry said, "Protecting the tank and its components from the elements seemed like the best solution for our customers. Not to mention it's an included bonus for purchasing a Turbo Saw. All the best options at an even better price. That's why we're number 1." Dougherty Forestry Manufacturing's sales have doubled in the last quarter with the company currently negotiating distribution rights within the United States.

Dougherty Forestry Mfg. announces plans to build a new 16,000 square foot manufacturing facility. This facility will manufacture the Turbo Saw line of ecologically friendly tree and brush cutting equipment. "This is a family company that was founded out of a need to save our Oklahoma prairie lands", says Patrick Dougherty, CEO. "We are very happy that we are able to keep the company here in the sooner state".

This new facility is expected to allow DFM to better respond to increasing customer demand. The development and release of the "TS2 Carbide Cutting Tooth" and the "TR3200 Tractor Model" allowed the company to see exceptional national sales growth in 2007 and 2008. This new facility will allow DFM to increase production to nearly 3,000 units per year.

The town of Hinton has a prime location at the intersection of highway 281 and I-40. Dougherty Forestry Manufacturing is a family company proud of its rural roots. The company expects to fill up to 20 positions from the local community. "As a family company we believe in creating quality products that deliver safety, durability and value," stated Patrick Dougherty. "That philosophy extends to our employees and we intend to create well paying jobs and a productive work environment that will sustain us well into the future."

Dougherty Forestry Manufacturing was started in 2003 and the company has enjoyed continual growth and sales providing customers with cost effective solutions for invasive vegetation removal.
