Product News Dixie Chopper adds EFI model to Silver Eagle product line New Power Lok by CORE Outdoor Power Dixie Chopper recently introduced an electronic fuel injection (EFI) model to its Silver Eagle series of zero-turn mowers. The new model 2960EFI is designed for fuel efficiency and high performance for use in a variety of commercial applications. Model 2960EFI comes with a 60-inch (152.4 cm) cutting deck for mowing up to 5.3 acres per hour. It is powered by a 29-hp. Kohler EFI engine, which offers better fuel efficiency and easier operation than similar carbureted units. The mower is also equipped with a heavy-duty Hydro-Gear pump and Parker wheel motors for smooth, reliable operation. The ELITE Cutting System on the Silver Eagle mower has a 1.75-inch (4.4 cm) blade overlap and uses Dixie Chopper's patented X-Blade Technology. The high blade-tip speeds create a powerful vacuum, helping to produce high-quality cuts in any condition. To achieve a mulching effect, optional Twist Blades can be used in conjunction with the standard blades. For enhanced convenience, the mower is equipped with Dixie Chopperís exclusive Operator Controlled Discharge Chute (OCDC). This system allows the operator to manually open and close the discharge chute to prevent clippings and other objects from being thrown from the deck. Model 2960EFI also offers fingertip controls for further comfort and ease of use. The control panel includes the throttle, key ignition, PTO switch, and digital multi-functioning tachometer. To provide maximum protection from impact, corrosion and sunlight, the mower is constructed with a stainless-steel body. Other standard features include an 8-gallon (30.3 L) fuel tank, easy-to-use deck lift, heavy-duty spindles and pulleys, and motorcycle-tread front tires. Options include the XT3 collection system, snow blade, suspension seat, springer forks, electronic deck-lift system, rear hitch, Magic Mulcher Kit, Zebra Striping Kit, Easy Reach tool, run-flat tires and Turf Boss tires. Like all Silver Eagle mowers, model 2960EFI is backed by a 5-year/3,000hour drivetrain warranty and a lifetime warranty against rust on all stainless-steel components.

The Drive Unit provides the power, as well as the intelligence to efficiently control each motorized attachment. Upon connection, Power Lok's exclusive Intelligent Electronic Control instantaneously recognizes the attachment and communicates operational instructions to the powerful CORE motor, ensuring optimum performance and functionality. Power Lok employs the same proven Conductor Optimized Rotary Energy (CORE) technology used in the dedicated unit line. This motor technology produces the highest energy factor per pound of any existing motor at a fraction of the size and weight. In addition, Power Lok delivers maximum GasLess power through a rechargeable, high-energy power cell. Connecting or changing the various motorized attachments is fast and easy. Insert the Power Lok attachment into the quick connect/disconnect Cam-Lok. A single turn of the Cam-Lok lever secures the attachment in place. Then, insert the High-Energy Power Cell into the rear of the Drive Unit housing, and go to work. Power Lok offers many benefits to landscapers who want convenience, flexibility and efficiency (at a fraction of the cost of purchasing separate dedicated units). Plus, CORE's products are lightweight, virtually noiseless, and completely emission-free. Power Lok consists of the following components: Drive Unit • Contains the Intelligent Electronic Control, which instantaneously recognizes the attachment and communicates operational instructions to the CORE motor, ensuring optimum performance and functionality. String Trimmer Attachment • Weight (with Power Cell and Drive Unit): 11 pounds • Run time: Up to 70 minutes • Head type: Dual-line bump feed • Trimmer line: 0.095-inch diameter, 20 feet on spool Hedge Trimmer Attachment • Weight (with Power Cell and Drive Unit): 13 pounds • Run time: Up to 90 minutes • Stokes per minute: 3,200 • Blade length: 22 inches Handheld Blower Attachment • Weight (with Power Cell and Drive Unit): 12 pounds • Wind speed: Up to 110 mph • Air flow: Up to 400 cubic feet per minute CORE Outdoor Power Slush Plow All 2-stage snow blowers work great on deep snow, but not when it comes to slush. Standard plows can't be used to clear slushy sidewalks, walkways, driveways and alleyways. The Slush Plow is available in 4 sizes (30-, 34-, 38- and 48-inch widths) to fit most 2-stage snow blowers. The Slush Plow is made in the USA of heavy-duty PVC with a rubber squeegee that won't damage any surface. Plus, installation is easy. IMAC Attachments, Inc. www.outdoorpowerequipment.com
