www.landscapeirrigation.com Landscape and Irrigation October 2014 15 Briggs & stratton pressure washer with powerflow+ technology Pressure washers with Briggs & Stratton's POWERflow+ Technology are more than just deep-cleaning pressure wash- ers. They're the only pressure washers available with both high pressure to lift dirt and high flow to easily wash it away. Briggs & Stratton's POWERflow+ Technology is comprised of numerous components working in concert to deliver the high-flow capability. The force is in the Briggs & Stratton-designed, patent-pending pump with two separate cleaning modes: high pressure (ideal for cleaning tough stains, mildew and grime from decks, driveways and siding) and high flow (perfect for power-rinsing away dirt, soap and debris — with up to twice the flow of standard pressure washers). After the pump, water is sent to the specially designed 30-foot hose and into the custom-engineered soft grip POW- ERflow+ gun. It then flows into the exclusive 7-in-1 nozzle, allowing the user to change from high pressure to high flow without changing out nozzle tips. Briggs & stratton Vanguard 810cc engine line The new 810cc Vanguard engines, available in 24 or 26 gross horsepower models, are specifically designed to maxi- mize productivity by delivering the optimum power, performance and efficiency commercial zero-turn mowers need. The new models have 810cc of displacement for higher torque to take on the heavy workloads common in commer- cial settings. This meets a growing landscape industry demand for higher displacement engines and, hence, higher- productivity mowers. Other features were designed for the rigors of the commercial cutting work environment, too. The engine's new debris chopper fan offers excellent debris management while providing up to 30-degree cooler engine temperatures. The high-flow blower housing offers more than 30 percent larger intake surface area than the next clos- est competitor. The 810cc engines are produced almost exclusively with direct current electric hand tools for ultimate quality control at the all-new Vanguard Certified Production Center located in Briggs & Stratton's Auburn, Ala., plant. The engines are assembled exclusively by certified Briggs & Stratton Master Service Technicians. core outdoor power core elite CORE Outdoor Power, the sole manufacturer of GasLess outdoor power equipment, launched CORE Elite, its most power- ful line yet. The latest addition to CORE's suite of GasLess equipment currently features a higher-performance string trim- mer and handheld blower with more products being introduced in the future, including a lawn mower and hedge trimmer. As CORE continues to evolve its proprietary motor technology to address additional market needs for the environmentally and economically conscious commercial landscaper, upgrades to the technology have packed twice the torque into the same lightweight, emission-free package. CORE Elite boasts more power, increased efficiency and even longer run times. Weighing only 11 pounds with power cell, the new E 400 string trimmer features up to a 16-inch swath, .095-inch-diameter trimmer line and torque equivalent to a 45-cc gas engine. The 10-pound E 420 handheld blower produces wind speeds of up to 130 mph with airflow of up to 500 cfm. Both products feature soft-grip molding, offering increased durability and comfort for tackling even the most labor-intensive jobs with the same quiet operation. cluB car carryalls with efi engines Carryall utility and transport vehicles have been rebuilt from the ground up to improve: Power, fuel-efficiency and emissions. Best-in-class 14-hp.-rated Subaru overhead cam engines (OHC) with electronic fuel injection (EFI) and hemispherical heads boost power, improve fuel efficiency and cut carbon emissions. The engines save up to $500 a year in gasoline alone. Versatility and productivity. Club Car's VersAttach track-based bed attachment system accommodates specially made tool holders, water cooler and bucket holders, backpack blowers and other equipment. This frees floor space, protects your assets, and lets you do more with less. Problems with rust and bed damage. Rustproof corrosion-resistant aluminum frames and a Rhino-lined bed box in- crease durability and life span. Charging. Most electric Carryalls feature an exclusive on-board, high-frequency charger with integrated cord retractor. The solid-state, global chargers issue audible and visual alerts to help prevent charging errors. earthway flex-select adaptaBle spreaders Are you the type of person who has a Swiss Army knife? Well, the Flex-Select Series spreaders (patents pending) are what you have been waiting for. The new Flex-Select Series added two new hopper sizes (80 and 130 pound) and three different broadcast application configurations to its lineup of commercial and professional spreaders. The Flex- Select models feature easily interchangeable shut-off trays (the complete bottom of the hopper including the shut-off) that can convert the spreader from the EarthWay EV-N-SPRED capable of spreading all fertilizers and free-flowing granular products, to the EarthWay high-output rock salt/pelletized high SGN material spreader, or to a new low-output low-application-rate fine chemical/fine grass seed spreader. Each application will spread evenly, accurately, and up to a 50 percent wider spread width than other push spreaders. Two chassis types, two hopper sizes, and three unique application trays make for one unbelievable spreader.
