40 October 2014 Landscape and Irrigation www.landscapeirrigation.com Product rounduP Product rounduP CHain SawS and Stump GrinderS Bandit Stump Gun The Stump Gun from Bandit is an innovative- yet-simple stump-grinding solution for landscapers, arborists, land-clearing profes- sionals and dedicated stump-grinding crews who use a skid-steer loader. The Stump Gun attaches to skid-steer loaders in seconds and uses the skid-steer's hydraulic power to quickly grind stumps of virtually any size. Because it operates vertically, the Stump Gun is extremely quick and effective on large stumps, as well as small backyard stumps. Operators simply drive to the stump, raise the Stump Gun into position, and grind. Maintaining the Stump Gun is as easy as operating it. Keep the Stump Gun greased and monitor the teeth and end-cap for wear — that's it. The powerful hydraulic motor requires no routine maintenance. The Bandit Stump Gun is also a Landscape and Irrigation "Twenty for 2014" new product award winner (see page 14). Bradco Stump Grinder The Bradco stump grinder by Paladin At- tachments works with skid-steers to remove stumps up to 12 inches below ground in landscaping, construction and maintenance applications. Its multi-directional tooth pattern permits cutting from side to side and vertically. Both standard-flow and high-flow models have proven heavy-duty gearbox drives with torque arm motor support for longer motor and drive system life. The offset design offers excel- lent visibility and can be used in tight spaces around buildings, homes, trees and other obstacles. The built-in grouser pads provide cutting stability and grip for uneven ground and hillsides. The Bradco stump grinder provides a 60-degree swing arc geometry and can cover 45 inches in a single sweep. An adjustable speed control allows the operator to adjust the speed of the swing and lift functions to achieve maximum performance. doSko Stump GrinderS Dosko offers long-lasting, commercial-quality stump grinders, including compact, full-size and self-propelled models.

Dosko's full-size and self-propelled models feature 500 or 700 Series Greenteeth and are towable or can be self-propelled up a ramp for easy transport. earthwiSe 2-in1 convertiBle pole chain Saw When homeowners are tasked with caring for trees, this often requires multiple tools for the job. Understanding the need for versatility, Great States Corporation introduced a 2-in-1 product that lets users convert a handheld chain saw to an extended pole saw with the press of a button. Available in cordless and corded models, the chain saw delivers excel- lent performance when cutting trees up to 15 inches wide, and the telescoping shaft allows pruning up to 14 feet. "When I've used the convertible pole saw in my yard, I was able to work for 25 minutes of cutting on a single charge, slicing through trees up to 15 inches in diameter," said Kim Liechty, VP of operations and engineering at Great States Corporation. "It's a must-have tool for the land owner." echo cS-620p The Echo CS-620P chain saw features the "Performance Cutting System," consisting of a professional-quality bar and high-performance chain, along with increased power from a 59.8-cc, professional-grade, 2-stroke engine.
