Bigger Means Better

With a 20-foot tilt deck and 4-foot stationary front, the HT824D is Bri-Mar’s longest split deck, heavy-duty tilt trailer. The incline angle of the deck is 13 inches, and the deck height measures 33 inches.

It is also available in a gooseneck configuration to assign more load transfer to the towing vehicle.

Available in black, red, blue, green, gray and yellow.


GRRRR!

The 3-D Coyote, the latest addition to Bird-X’s line of goose and bird repelling products, is a three-dimensional, lifelike, natural predator with furry tail. It is visible from any angle and measures 37 inches from head to tail, 8 inches wide and 16 inches tall. The coyote moves and changes positions in even the slightest breeze.


Brush Shredding with Your Existing Tractor

Vrisimo Equipment Company has introduced the 900 Series Brush Shredder with adjustable hitch and constant velocity drive line. The shredder features extreme-duty, dual drive high horsepower design, electronically balanced 10-foot cutter drum and hydraulic height adjustment floating pick-up rakes.


Catch a Lift

The MoJack adjustable lift, constructed of solid tubular steel, is designed to lift and secure lawn tractors and riding mowers of all sizes, including zero-turn models, to allow for undercarriage cleaning and maintenance. The lift offers triple redundant safety jacks and pins, as well as a nonslip, self-braking winch. It can lift up to 400 pounds securely and provides up to 2 feet of clear working space. Three models are available, accommodating decks up to 72 inches.


Kohler has the Courage

Kohler Co. has entered the push-mower turf market with walk-behind engine models: Courage XT-6 and XT-7. The XT-6 has 3.5 net hp and the XT-7 has 4.5 net hp.

The engines feature the Kohler overhead valve design for minimal fuel consumption and emissions, and a commercial-grade, cast-iron cylinder liner. A forged crankshaft is also a part of the engine, as well as a wide diameter gas tank opening.


Tools for Turf

The TurfSlicer from g2 turftools, inc. is designed as a tractor attachment that can be operated with existing controls, can be installed on a TurfFloat frame to “float” and “slice” an area of turf at the same time, or can be installed on a separate Turfslicer frame.

When attached to the Turffloat frame, the unit grinds up aeration cores, mixes the material with the topdressing and redeposits it into low areas. At the same time, the slicing action penetrates the thatch area to provide air space while cutting and replanting existing solons to promote thick, healthy turf.


Mighty Mini Skid Steer

Vermeer Mfg. Co. has added the S400TX to its line of mini skid steers. It is powered by a 23 hp Kohler Command air-cooled engine and features easy-to-operate controls that includes two joysticks integrated within a hand-grip bar that controls transport and boom/bucket motion.

The track undercarriage has a high-mount sprocket track0drive with a 7-inch rubber track that produces 3.8 PSI ground pressure. A 9-inch track option is available.


Work Smarter, Not Harder

The Dumper 201 from Grillo America is powered by a 6 hp Briggs & Stratton Commercial engine or 5.5 hp Honda GCV engine and features a five-speed transmission with reverse. The handles have an extra support bracket and cross brace for strength and the 4.6-cubic-foot bucket hauls up to 440 pounds on flat terrain and up to 330 pounds on slopes. The rear wheels pivot 360 degrees for maneuvering in tight areas.


High-Performance Drag Mats

Cambridge International’s high-performance drag mats feature a design with a heavier rod—11 gauge instead of the conventional 13-gauge—along with a clinched edge instead of the conventional smashed edge.

The mats also have a Rivet-Free U-Bar design that allows for a reversible mat, with nor more rivets digging into the surface of the field or turf if the mat is used the “wrong way.”

The drag mats are offered in the traditional 1-inch-by-1-inch mat; a 3-inch-by-1-inch mat style for aeration; and a variable mesh style for high sand-content applications.


Feel the Heat

Flagro Industries Limited has added the FVO-1000TR to their heater line. The self-contained indirect fired heater trailer includes two FVO-400 Flagro indirect fired heaters that provide clean, heated air free of moisture and contaminates to the job site. Fully welded 16-gauge, 304 stainless steel heat exchangers ensure no products of combustion will enter the work area. Clean, breathable air is delivered to workers via flexible ducting.
