What’s New

STA-BIL Designed for Diesel

Gold Eagle Co., is now offering a Diesel Formula STA-BIL to keep diesel fuel fresh for quick, easy starts. Designed for use at every fill-up, this new formula prevents sludge and sediment from forming in diesel fuel, protects against corrosion, reduces oxidation of diesel fuel caused by thermal breakdown and helps remove water from diesel fuel, which bacteria, fungus and algae require to grow. It also contains extra lubricity and detergents to protect and clean the entire fuel system.

Dual-Purpose Parking Garage Melter

The SND580 from Snow Dragon is a snowmelter can be used on the top deck of a parking garage. The dual-axle snowmelter weighs approximately 10,000 pounds filled with fuel and water and only 6,500 pounds empty, allowing it to be towed by a properly-sized Ford 150 or Dodge Ram 1500 or higher. The melt rating on the unit is 18 tons per hour, allowing it to be used on standard melting applications as well.

Adjust Seasonally Without Reprogramming

Underhill International has introduced WaterDex, an innovative palm-sized remote that adjusts sprinkler run-times without reprogramming the irrigation controller. The WaterDex includes a mini-transmitter (3 by 2 by 2 inches) with a 200-foot line-of-sight range and micro-receiver that hard-wires into the irrigation controller. By dialing up or down on the WaterDex, end-users can immediately increase or decrease sprinkler run-times for any zone throughout their system, without affecting the programming cycle. The controller remains set at a maximum summer schedule and is fine-tuned by percentage in 10-degree increments as the seasons change, based on zip code location and the regional watering index.

Premium Mulches

The TRU-Mulch line from Finn Corporation features six mulches specifically designed to meet the demands of various erosion control and hydroseeding projects. The wood fibers used throughout the line originate from virgin poplar and pine wood chips from forests of the eastern U.S. The mulches undergo an advanced “double refining” process that uses high-pressure steam to create fiber from wood chips, and a nontoxic green dye is added to increase visibility during application and to enhance aesthetic appeal. The six products included the line: TRU-Wood for basic erosion control and hydroseeding needs; TRU-Wood with HydroStik, which features Finn’s HydroStik tackifier allowing a stronger binding of fibers to the soil; TRU-Blend, which combines the superieor holding strength of wood fiber with a clean, recycled paper product; TRU-Blend with HydroStik, featuring Finn’s HydroStik tackifier; TRU-Max SMM, a stabilized mulch matrix for three-to-six-month soil stabilization; and TRU-Bond BFM for superior holding power on the toughest slopes.

Trench in Tight Spaces

The Toro TRX-26 walk-behind trencher features the Toro Dingo TX-style control system, making it easy to control, eliminating the “jerk” steering required with handlebar steering, allowing for smoother, more precise trenching. And, with its zero-turn maneuverability and ground pressure as low as 4.1 PSI, it can access confined spaces without damaging turf.

The TRX-26 can be outfitted with 2, 3 or 4-foot boom attachments, allowing it to trench up to 8 inches wide and up to 48 inches deep.

Compact, Commercial Chippers

Swampy Hollow’s S.H.M. Model WC3000 wood chipper is belt-driven and designed to be operated by the PTO shafts of tractors with as little as 16 hp.

Progressive Turf’s TDR-12 Roller Mower is ideal where a superlative cut and striping is required. As well as being a rough mower, the TDR-12 cuts as low as .5-inch. The CY-style input system eliminates the need for special tractor set-up and delivers silky smooth performance while negotiating sharp turns. Deck bounce is eliminated through roller to turf contact at high ground speeds, increasing productivity. For optimum performance, 30 to 40 hp is required.

Bolt-On Traction System for ATVs

The J-Wheel bolt-on wheel attachment from Creative Solutions, LLC extends the width of the tire to provide increased surface area and traction in loose terrain, while remaining free of firm terrain to maintain full steering and speed capabilities of the machine. Designed for ATVs, utility vehicles and six-wheel vehicles, it is made of a polyethylene copolymer and a closed-cell marine-grade foam adds flotation to the attachment.

The plow’s angle (left/right) can be adjusted from the operator position, and it has the capability to allow the blade to oscillate or be locked into position. The plow also features a spring-loaded trip release and replaceable cutting edge while employing a fully hydrostatic transmission with forward/reverse and a 13 hp Honda engine. The plow can also be converted into a power edger, power broom, power rake or brush cutter for all-season use.

The polyethylene pipe is available in lengths of 410, 492 and 558 feet, with diameters of 2 1/8 and 2.5 inches. In one irrigation run, the sprinkler covers up to 230 feet side to side over a maximum irrigated length of 656 feet. A second strip opposite the first area can be irrigated following the initial run without having the change the position of the unit. At a working pressure of at least 3.5 bar, the unit achieves precise flow rates of 21 to 88 GPM.

Multifunctional Attachment for Mowers

TurfEx’s Thatch, Groom ‘N’ Sweep Package attachment system for zero-turn mowers can be converted from a sweeper to a dethatcher without having to purchase additional equipment.
