Rayco RG27 Super Jr. Rayco's RG27 Super Jr. is designed to make the chore of removing unwanted tree stumps as easy as possible. The swing-out control station gives operators a better look at the cutting action and swings in-line for travel through gates. The slewing-ring pivot design lowers the center of gravity and provides a low-maintenance alternative to pin-style pivots. It also means that maximum cutting depth can be maintained across the entire width of cut. Wider tires improve flotation and traction while providing a more robust appearance. Cutting power and torque have gotten a boost, provided by a 27-hp. Vanguard gasoline engine and improvements to the cutter wheel drive train. The wide cutter wheel housing and more chip collection capacity means more power available for cutting and less wasted on regrinding chips. An optional hydraulic backfill blade makes clean up fast and easy. Vermeer SC30TX The SC30TX features a dependable electronic fuel injection (EFI) gas engine that performs well during cold-weather starts, reducing occurrence of engine flooding over comparable carbureted gas engines. The 27-hp. Kohler EFI gas engine produces the necessary torque for challenging ground conditions and stubborn tree stumps. Along with efficient maintenance and startability, the engine provides cost-effective fuel economy. Its horizontal shaft design allows for easier access and maintenance due to the elimination of drive belts. The optional AutoSweep system monitors engine speed and automatically adjusts cutter wheel sweep to reduce engine and structural stress. Two individually controlled tracks enable a zero turning radius. Each track is operated by its own joystick for simple, intuitive operation. This, along with its compact 35-inch-wide footprint and 7-inch tracks, contributes to easier maneuverability in tight spaces and reduced yard disruption. www.arborage.com Arbor Age / March 2013 11
