Werk-Brau partnering with Valley Tool

Werk-Brau has partnered with Valley Tool Manufacturing to provide Werk-Brau-branded BrushHound mulchers, brush shredders and flail mowers, and RockHound landscape rakes through Werk-Brau’s nationwide dealer network.

Several models of brush shredders and fixed tooling forestry mulchers, as well as the Original Rockhound Landscape Rake, will be supplied by Valley Tool and stocked by Werk-Brau. Models are available for use with both excavators and skid steers/compact track loaders. The brush shredders and forestry mulchers are designed to be hydraulically powered by the carrier, with no external power source required. 

With a tight labor market and increased emphasis on safety, brush shredders and mulchers have increased in popularity due to their substantial increase in efficiency and productivity.

The agreement brings together two well-known manufacturers with similar cultural approaches to provide dealers with more, robust products to offer their customers.

“We’re excited to partner with Valley Tool because they are so much like us in terms of their company values, quality, culture and overall customer-focused business philosophy,” Werk-Brau national sales manager Dale DeWeese said. “Using brush clearing attachments are much more productive and far safer than having hand crews with chainsaws, especially on slopes.”

In addition to the brush shredders and forestry mulchers, Werk-Brau will also stock the Werk-Brau branded Original RockHound Landscape Rake. Ideal for removing rocks and leveling ground prior to sodding or seeding, this has a working width of 72 inches and attaches easily to any skid steer or mini loader with an included quick hitch adaptor.

“Partnering with Werk-Brau allows us to expand our footprint with a company very similar to ours in terms of philosophy,” Valley Tool VP Paul Swanson said. “They are well known and respected for their professionalism and integrity. Together we can help our dealer network by offering quality tools and service that will help their customers succeed in the marketplace.”
