Product Round-up Turf Renovation Equipment Billy Goat Industries' OS901SPS overseeder Billy Goat's newly enhanced OS901SPS is hydrostatically self-propelled to reduce fatigue associated with pushing, and features intuitive right and left operator drive controls. To increase operator comfort and provide longer blade life, foot pedal actuation replaces the former hand-operated lever to raise and lower the reel. An improved blade design provides better slicing, reduced thatch pick-up and longer life. Billy Goat's exclusive 22-inch slicing reel floats with the contours of yards, and the Auto Drop system conserves valuable seed. A 30-pound seed box offers excellent visibility, and is elevated above the turf to eliminate clogging. Bluebird BedBug The compact and ergonomic BedBug features a fully adjustable handle that creates a comfortable working height and folds for easy transport and storage. The user-friendly handle-mounted release lever quickly and easily adjusts between transport and operating position, and cutting depth is adjustable from 2 to 4 inches. The removable shield provides easy access for maintenance, switching attachments and cleaning without tools. Each unit features a 5.5-hp. Honda GX engine with a heavy-duty chain drive system and centrifugal oil bath clutch for top notch performance and durability. Rear wheels can be unlocked for full steering mode to create unique, curved bed shapes or lock the rear wheels to ensure a straight edge every time. Exmark 30-inch stand-on aerator Designed to deliver the maximum productivity and durability lawn care professionals demand, the Exmark 30-inch stand-on aerator features a split-tine design, which allows easier turning with tines engaged. The compact design of the machine further heightens maneuverability in tight spaces while the 30-inch aeration width and 7.5-mph top speed deliver maximum productivity. Mass is centralized directly over the tines for maximum core depth consistency; and core depth is adjustable from 2 to 5 inches. The self-cleaning tines are easy to replace. Tine down-force is hydraulic-actuated, and adjustable by the operator. An electric-start Kawasaki V-Twin power plant delivers professional-grade power, reliability and durability. The Exmark 30-inch stand-on aerator is covered by a 1-year limited warranty. Grasshopper AERA-vator Aerate and loosen compacted soil in less time with less labor compared to walk-behind or pull-behind aerators — even in the tightest of spaces — with a Grasshopper AERA-vator coreless lawn aerator. The PTO-driven AERA-vator works without slicing or cutting, improving turf development and water absorption with little surface disruption. The patented vibrating tines deep-fracture soil instead of plugging cores, which means turf areas are immediately available for use. The AERA-vator attaches in place of the out-front mower deck for zero-turn maneuverability. Husqvarna SC18 An exclusive 4-wheel-drive transmission, low center of gravity, and an anti-vibration handle make the SC18 the smoothest and most stable sod cutter on the market. Users will appreciate its 2 cutting speeds, 2 transporting speeds and power reverse. Improved features make even the toughest job seem easy. Mantis Deluxe tiller/cultivator Mantis is introducing the Mantis Deluxe tiller/cultivator, a newly designed version of its popular 2-cycle and 4-cycle powered tiller/cultivator. The new design maintains all of the advantages of the original Mantis tiller with new function and convenience features that make creating and maintaining landscape even easier. The Mantis Deluxe tiller offers a new look and style that include height-adjustable handles, soft comfort ergonomic grips, a front bumper handle for convenient transportation, and a handy kickstand that comes standard. Powered by your choice of a hard-working, longlasting, Fast-Start commercial grade 2-cycle (gas/oil mix) engine or powerful 4-cycle gasoline (only) Honda engine. 18 Landscape and Irrigation January 2013 www.landscapeirrigation.com
