Professional landscapers and tree care experts demand durability, power
and versatility from their power equipment products. Those attributes —
plus innovative technology — are key features in the two products that
Husqvarna most recently added to its extensive, ever-growing 500 Series
platform of high-performance professional handheld equipment.
The new products — Husqvarna 525L professional trimmer and
Husqvarna 525HF3S hedge trimmer — are designed specifically to
enable professionals to complete demanding jobs with optimal efficiency
and effectiveness. Like other Husqvarna 500 Series products, the 525L
professional trimmer and 525HF3S hedge trimmer feature advanced
X-Torq engine technology, which combines high performance with fuel
economy and lower exhaust emissions, and the LowVib anti-vibration
dampener system, which maximizes user comfort with a floating throttle
handle.
Ideal for semi-professional use, the Husqvarna 525L professional
trimmer is a robust, sturdy and durable machine built for demanding
trimming at an economical price. Intuitive controls make choke and purge
easy to reach and understand, and Smart Start is designed to get the
engine running with minimal effort. The manufacturer's suggested retail
price (MSRP) in the U.S. is $299.95.
The Husqvarna 525HF3S is a powerful yet low-weight, fixed-pole
hedge trimmer with a durable design, including an innovative in-line
gearbox, to withstand tough work. It is ideal for the professional landscaper
who balances extreme durability with safety, as it allows the operator better
control through superior balance and optimal positioning. The MSRP in the
U.S. is $439.95.
"Tough jobs require reliable performance, and these stellar additions
to the Husqvarna 500 Series are built to accommodate the needs of the
professional," said Jeff Dewosky, vice president and general manager,
Husqvarna North America. "The entire line is popular with professionals
who demand versatility, durability and innovative features. Professionals
can expect further additions to the 500 Series, which will extend
Husqvarna's reputation for building long-lasting, high-quality products that
are 'ready when you are.'"
The Husqvarna 500 Series of trimmers, brushcutters, clearing saws,
backpack blowers, hedge trimmers and chain saws is available at
authorized Husqvarna dealers throughout North America and globally.
At these dealerships, specially trained authorized technicians service
all Husqvarna equipment, and dealers have easy access to Husqvarna
genuine spare parts. Professional landscapers and tree care experts
have the option of financing their purchases through the Husqvarna Fleet
Finance program.
