New Bobcat loader radio remote control system offers operator comfort, efficiency Loader operators who work in applications that require two or more people, or who want to minimize worksite environment discomforts now have a solution – the loader radio remote control system from Bobcat Company. The innovative Bobcat® loader radio remote control system enhances the capabilities of Bobcat skid-steer and compact track loaders with selectable joystick controls (SJC) and Bobcat all-wheel steer (AWS) loaders, offering a simple solution for customers who want to operate their loader remotely. Operators can start the loader engine and operate the drive, lift, tilt and auxiliary hydraulic functions from approximately 1,500 feet away with the radio remote control transmitter. The transmitter joystick controls activate the loader’s joystick controls in the ISO control pattern. The system is usable for up to 15 hours on a rechargeable battery. In addition to being able to use the system in various climate conditions, operators can easily switch between “remote” control mode and “machine/direct” control mode. For more information on this innovative system, contact Bobcat at (866) 823-7898. Fee-for-environmental services organization to help dairy challenges Faced with a rising tide of water quality regulations that threaten to swamp its members’ livelihoods, Western United Dairymen (WUD) has created a fee-for-service organization that will lend a helping hand to California dairy families. Known as Western United Environmental Services (WUES) , the fee-for-services organization will provide environmental expertise to dairy producers who are finding themselves overwhelmed by environmental regulations, the most recent being the complex and costly Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) that affect Central Valley dairies. “We believe this new organization will effectively leverage the reputation that WUD has built over the years as the leader on environmental issues,” said Ray Souza, WUD president. “Containing costs is critical to the future economic well-being of our members. This fee-for-services approach will provide our members with the expertise they need at a reasonable cost.” The current WUD staff has been highly impacted by the level of assistance being required by members to comply with environmental paperwork. “These new regulations are too time-consuming and complex to expect either the producers or our current organization to be able to absorb them,” said Souza. “This new organization will provide the staffing needed to assist our members with complex and time-consuming regulations.” The newly enacted WDRs provided the impetus for the formation of WUES, explained CEO Michael Marsh. The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board staff estimated the initial cost of compliance could range from $45,000 to $65,000 per dairy and annual compliance costs could run from $35,000 to $45,000. “Those are tremendous costs for producers to bear and are equal to one skilled employee per dairy,” said Marsh. “We hope that by pooling resources, we can offer a high level of expertise and help contain costs for our members.” ANM
