Equipment Focus | Wood Handlers Cub Cadet CS 511 chain saw The Cub Cadet CS 511 chain saw is designed for pruning and felling branches, cutting firewood, and anything else imaginable. Because the 4-cycle engine (on select models) doesn't require mixing of oil and gas, the CS 511 requires less prep time and delivers more fuel efficiency. And with lower emissions, it's better for the environment. There's no need to struggle with a cord every time the operator goes to work. With Cub Cadet's lithium-powered cordless starter, the operator will be able to start the engine and get to work right away. Cub Cadet Dosko's 200-6H "mini" stump grinder Dosko's 200-6H "mini" stump grinder is an extremely portable unit. Weighing just 134 pounds, the 200-6H features a fold-down handlebar, allowing the unit to fit in skid-steer buckets, SUVs and even some car trunks. The 200-6H is packed with the power of a 200-cc Honda engine, and it utilizes Leonardi teeth for optimum cutting ability and versatility.
