30 APRIL 2015 OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT www.outdoorpowerequipment.com Product rounduP Products Ariens log splitters Ariens offers a full line of log splitters engi- neered for efficiency and ease of use on a variety of jobs. Powerful and robust, these log splitters feature Subaru engines with a noise-reducing muffler design, 5-inch bore position, and 12- to 17-second cycle time. An open operating zone reduces operator bend- ing, reaching and fatigue by allowing operators to walk right into the work zone. Centrally located controls make it operable from either side, while vertical and horizontal splitting capacity allows the operator to split larger logs with less lifting. Critical components and hoses are located at the front of the machine to reduce the likelihood of damage to the unit from dropped logs. A work table and log cradle come standard for productivity and ease of use, eliminating the need to set logs on the ground or having logs drop to the ground. Ariens Co. BrAve pCls2013gC Brave's PCLS2013GC is a powerful 20-ton, dual-split, horizontal log splitter that splits logs in both the forward and reverse stroke, reducing work time by 50 percent. The splitter features a 7-second cycle time, an 8-inch carbon steel wedge, a 4-inch by 24-inch clevis cylinder and a standard Honda GC160 over- head cam engine. Recommended for 2 to 100 cords per season, the PCLS2013GC accepts logs up to 24 inches long. It also comes with a standard, removable log tray and easy-to- operate controls. Brave Dosko 337-13H The 337-13H is Dosko's most popular stump grinder model. This full-size, walk-behind unit features a side-discharge frame that moves chipped material out and away from the machine while grinding, reducing cleanup time. With a 32-inch width, it easily fits through narrow paths, walkways and gates. A five-position handlebar gives users increased comfort and control. The 337-13H comes standard with 500 Series Greenteeth, which can be rotated in three, 120-degree increments for a fresh cutting edge in minutes. Heavy-duty belts and idler bearings ensure durability and reliability. The 337-13H is powered by a Honda GX390 engine. Dosko Dosko 13-21t-13H Dosko's 13-21T-13H is a belt-driven, gravity- fed, 4-inch-capacity chipper. With 15-inch turf tires and a width of just 32 inches, the unit can fit through narrow pathways and gates with ease. Additionally, the handles can be raised or lowered. Lock in the upright position to transport, or unlock to lower and save space in a garage, shed, trailer or store. A unique hopper design with a wider mouth that narrows toward the chipper blades feeds oddly shaped branches through the hopper more efficiently. A mechani- cal belt clutching mechanism allows for easy starts. The 13-21T-13H is powered by a Honda GX390 engine. Dosko eCHo's Cs-490 CHAin sAw Echo's new CS-490 chain saw is an ideal general-use saw and a lightweight alternative in the 50-cc class.
