Equipped with the most powerful engine in its class, Big Mo combines the convenience and durability of hydrostatic drive with the light and compact footprint of a push mower. "We've been listening carefully," said Sarlo President Tony Sarlo, "and Big Mo is exactly the machine that many landscapers and homeowners have been asking for." Designed for applications where a riding mower doesn't fit and a push mower is too slow, Big Mo is built for daily commercial use, yet is easy for homeowners to operate. Now in its 80th year, Sarlo continues a long tradition of offering products that are simple and durable and represent an excellent value. Big Mo by Sarlo Anyone who has ever spent time on a tractor or lawn mower understands the need to have quick access to hand tools. With Great Day's new universal-fitting Tractor Tool Tray (Model TT400), tools are only an arm's length away. The Tool Tray is ideal for carrying hand tools such as wrenches, hammers, chains and hitch pins. It is also large enough for a small cooler or tool box. The Tool Tray basket measures 24 inches long by 10 inches high by 10 inches deep, and it attaches securely to the roll bar of a tractor or lawn mower. The frame of the Tool Tray is constructed of heavy-duty aircraft aluminum. The unit is finished with super-strong, rust- proof, powder-coat enamel. It also includes a leveling mechanism to adjust to roll bars that are not perfectly vertical. The attachment bar expands from 25 inches to 45 inches (inside measurements) to fit all category 1 tractors that do not have cab enclosures. Moldable, Velcro-fastening clips for transporting long-handled tools such as shovels, Kaiser blades, pole saws, axes and hoes are available as an additional add-on to the tray for separate purchase. Tractor Tool Tray B3C Fuel Solutions, LLC, a Conway, S.C.-based manufacturer of environmentally friendly solutions for ethanol- and bio-fuel related problems, was recently awarded two patents for its Fuel Life technology, including patents for fuel-preservation technology (Patent no. 9,149,788) and fuel-drying technology (Patent no. 8,828,104). The Fuel Life fuel-preservation technology is a proprietary nanopore reactive molecular sieve that removes (neutralizes) the compounds in fuel that cause fuel decay. Once removed, fuel's ability to decay is drastically diminished, even when exposed to heat and sunlight. The Fuel Life fuel-drying technology removes moisture from ethanol-blended fuel in a fuel tank. It removes bound, emulsified and free water, eliminating corrosion and phase separation (when water reaches a saturation point, falling out of the fuel to the bottom of the tank where pickup tubes draw fuel). It is the only scientific process that removes water bound to ethanol. All fuel containing ethanol (e.g. fuel pump gas with up to 10-percent ethanol) already has water in it because all ethanol contains up to 1-percent water. Fuel decay and water are top contributors to contamination and operating issues in engines. Fuel Life is non-toxic, non-hazardous and non-liquid, and it does not release anything into fuel. The technology is third-party ASTM D525 (oxidation stability) and ASTM E 1064 (water presence) tested and simple to use. "This new technology stops fuel-related engine problems before they start," said Brian Boezi, CEO, B3C Fuel Solutions. "Millions of engines — boats, motorcycles, ATVs, outdoor power equipment and more — do not run, or run poorly, due to bad fuel, both gas and diesel. These problems are preventable with Fuel Life." Fuel Life offers an opportunity for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to build Fuel Life into new equipment or sealed gas cans (low-permeation fuel tanks) to stop potential issues with ethanol-blended fuels (fuel decay, gums, varnish, corrosion), resulting in completely stabilized and water-free fuel. "Benefits may include reductions in fuel-related warranty issues and costs, increased customer satisfaction, and positive environmental impact," added Boezi. B3C Fuel Solutions awarded two patents for new Fuel Life technology
