PRODUCT ROUNDUP EQUIPMENT FOCUS 24 FEBRUARY 2016 OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT www.outdoorpowerequipment.com PRODUCT ROUNDUP PRODUCTS STIHL FSA 90 R TRIMMER The FSA 90 R trimmer, part of the Stihl Battery KombiSystem, combines the low-maintenance and cost-effective benefits of Stihl lithium-ion battery technology with the renowned power of Stihl. Quiet, yet powerful, this cordless trimmer is ideal for professionals landscaping in noise-sensitive or exhaust- emission-sensitive areas like school grounds, business districts or hospitals. It also saves users time and money by eliminating the need for gasoline and 2-cycle oil. Professionals get the performance they need with the powerful brushless motor, which delivers a high cutting speed and 15-inch cutting width. This allows users to complete jobs in a short amount of time. FSA 90 R comes standard with a durable Stihl AutoCut 25-2 trimmer head loaded with .095-inch Quiet Line. The FSA 90 R starts instantly with the squeeze of a trigger. Its in- novative control handle features an Ecospeed throttle set wheel, allowing users to set the most effective throttle speed for a specific ap- plication (such as low throttle around delicate plants) and extend the amount of work that can be done on a single charge. Additional easy- to-use features include an ergonomic loop handle, low vibration and a built-in hanging slot for easy storage. Stihl Inc. STIHL KOMBISYSTEM WITH LAWN EDGER ATTACHMENTS The Stihl KombiSystem offers cost-efficient, comprehensive landscape management, allowing homeowners and profes- sionals to own 1 versatile handheld tool and choose from more than a dozen high-quality attachments. The Stihl KM 94 R Profes- sional KombiMotor is the lightest in the line and ful- fills the landscaper's tasks around the residential or commercial landscape. The slim, compact design and excellent power-to-weight ratio increase maneuverability and reduce operator fatigue. The 24.1-cc KM 94 R can be used with all 14 interchangeable KM attachments, includ- ing the following 2 lawn edger attachments: Stihl FCB-KM curved lawn edger attach- ment: For edging along walkways and planting beds, the FCB-KM curved lawn edger attach- ment features an adjustable depth control wheel and built-in blade "sight" for precision cutting. Stihl FCS-KM straight lawn edger attach- ment: When landscaping lines are overrun with dense growth, the FCS-KM straight lawn edger attachment delivers more power to the cut and features a depth control wheel for greater precision. It also has an open guard design for smoother cutting and less clogging. Stihl Inc. TMC'S KPW2750V LINE TRIMMER TMC's KPW2750V line trimmer boasts a true 2-cycle, 1-hp. (rated per SAE J2723 standards), 26.3-cc Kawasaki engine with dual-ringed pistons and a chrome-plated 4-bolt cylinder. The engine not only meets the stringent CARB Tier III and EPA Phase 2 exhaust and evapora- tive emissions standards, but it also provides more than 25 percent greater fuel efficiency over previous models. An intelligent engine design enables the engine to be manufactured with fewer components than previous models, resulting in enhanced reliability, reduced weight, and lower replacement parts inventories. A spring-assisted recoil starter and choke lever and valve assembly greatly reduce the time and effort needed to start and run the engine. A 7-mm solid-steel driveshaft — splined at both ends and mated to the 56-mm clutch drum and heavy-duty 4-bearing gear head — deliv- ers incredible torque and power to the cutting surface. Extensive use of metal — including a cast-aluminum clutch housing, a metal engine stand, and a metal debris shield — provides maximum life and durability even in the harshest conditions. A vibration damper at the clutch housing significantly reduces vibrations from reaching the operator's hands. TMC Power Equipment, Inc. TURF TEQ MODEL 1304H POWER EDGER Turf Teq has a complete line of self-propelled walking-forward power edgers. The Model 1304H boasts a 13-hp. Honda engine and is the only self- propelled walking-forward bed opener on the mar- ket.

The 1304H can be switched from a bed opener with a 5-inch cutting depth to a trencher with a 7-inch cutting depth by simply changing the blade and guard. The power edger features a fully hydrostatic transmission with forward and reverse. Turf Teq, LLC STRING TRIMMERS & EDGERS EQUIPMENT FOCUS
