Loftness Carbide Cutter G3 mulching head attachment As part of its VMLogix line of products, Loftness introduces the Carbide Cutter G3 high-performance mulching head attachment for skid steers. This new-generation product incorporates the latest cutting-tooth technologies and power drive systems, while maintaining rugged reliability. The Carbide Cutter G3 is available with 51-, 61- and 71-inch cutting widths. All models are offered with a variety of carbide-tipped and heat-treated steel teeth to match any job application. The precisely engineered spiral tooth pattern on the rotor ensures continuous tooth contact with the material being cut. For maximum cutting performance, the Carbide Cutter G3 features a 2-stage cutting chamber with staggered counter teeth and a shear bar. This combination of features results in small particle sizes, while eliminating the jamming and wrapping issues associated with competitive products. An optional primarystage shear bar is also available for ultra-fine mulching. Loftness Specialized Equipment Merry commercial stump cutter by MacKissic Unlike other stump cutters that visually impair the operator, MacKissic's compact portable stump cutter enables the operator to see exactly where the cutter head is at all times for quicker stump removal. This unique operator position also provides extended wear to the cutter teeth because the operator can avoid rocks and other foreign debris. MacKissic's exclusive braking system stops the cutter head in less than 2 seconds when the operator presence lever is released, providing unparalleled safety. MacKissic's bumper, kickstand and patented cutter head make this a user-friendly stump cutter. Units are available with Briggs & Stratton, Subaru or Honda power. MacKissic, Inc. NorthStar stump grinder NorthStar's compact, powerful and highly portable stump grinder goes where larger grinders can't. Customers will appreciate that it fits through narrow paths, walkways, doorways and gates and is light enough to be lifted over retaining walls or into planter boxes. It fits easily into cars, trucks and vans — no trailer needed. A powerful Honda engine drives the cutting wheel with 4 carbide-tipped teeth, grinding up to 9 inches below grade. Side discharge allows smooth forward advancement by directing cuttings away from the wheels and frame while grinding. A balanced handle and frame reduce operator fatigue. Plus, the stump grinder rolls on 12-inch wheels. Great Plains OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT APRIL 2013 23
