Excavator's Effi ciency
Extend
Put your next job within reach with Bobcat's extendable arm option for its M-Series E55 compact excavator. The extendable arm telescopes to provide an additional 30 inches of reach when fully extended. With this option, you can also use a hydraulic clamp to pick up and place mate- rials such as rocks, landscaping materials and debris.
The arm cylinder is operated
through a rocker-style thumb switch located on the joystick. A retention pin holds the arm in the retracted position so you can use up to 16 different attachments, including the Hydraulic X-Change mounting system. With the extendable arm, you can enjoy the compact size of the excavator with the option of more reach. Write 101 on the Reader Service Card or visit TotalLandscapeCare.net/info
STEP, SLIDER IN ONE Add Rock-Slide Engineering's step-slider to your truck or jeep to give you a leg up. When you open the vehicle door, the step will
deploy, and when closed, the step returns to the home position, becoming a slider. Its wiring harness includes a manual operation switch if the doors are removed, as well as a system shut off if complete disable is required. Write 102 on the Reader Service Card or visit
