Product Round-up Edgers Atom professional edger The Atom professional edger blends award-winning design with outstanding power, ease of use, safety and speed. The wheel-barrow design puts all of the weight of the machine on a single wheel, so the operator is not carrying the load. The shaft drive means 100 percent of the engine power is always on hand. The Atom professional edger combines the power of a much larger 3- or 4-wheeled machine with the mobility and maneuverability of a stick edger. Fully enclosed blade guard and safety trigger interlock add outstanding safety to this fast and reliable edger, which is powered exclusively by Honda's GX35 engine. Grasshopper Edge-EZE lawn edger The Grasshopper Edge-EZE lawn edger allows users to save labor and reduce edging time up to 75 percent over walkbehind edgers and string trimmers. With a 2.5-inch cutting depth, Edge-EZE is ideal for maintaining established edges at up to 500 feet per minute. Twelve-inch vertical adjustment, a reversible disc and an electric actuator allow convenient edging from the sidewalk, turf or curb. Dependable, heavy-duty construction makes it suitable for daily commercial use, so it easily pays for itself in virtually no time. Compatible with all Grasshopper zero-turn mowers, Edge-EZE mounts on either side of the out-front or mid-mount mowing deck. Gravely edger With a 4-position height adjustment and 110-degree pivot head rotation, the Gravely edger is capable of edging, trimming, and beveling along walkways, driveways and curbs, so almost any landscape manicuring job can be completed with just 1 tool. Equipped with a Subaru 169-cc engine, the edger has the power to perform difficult landscaping projects while minimizing noise and vibration. Its recoil starter and standard push drive train system make the machine easy to operate. The deck is built with 12-gauge steel for added strength and durability. The ergonomic T-handle optimizes operator comfort and adds a level of safety through an operator presence control. The muffler design keeps the edger's sound output 2 decibels lower than its competitors. Kawasaki's KEL27B edger Kawasaki's 26.3-cc commercial-grade engine highlights Kawasaki's KEL27B edger. Utilizing that engine, polymer clutch housing, and purge primer throttle enrichment, the KEL27B features low noise and damped vibration, smooth operation, and a clean line of sight for the garden pro. An easy-pull starter reduction system rounds out the KEL27B. Cutting depth changes are simply made with a 1-touch adjustment. Maruyama's M42BK backpack multi-cutter Maruyama's new M42BK backpack multi-cutter is a powerful, efficient, heavy-duty, commercial backpack multi-cutter.

The attachments are quickly interchangeable with a unique coupler on a flexible 8-mm solid-steel shaft. The M42BK is powered by a 41.8-cc, heavy-duty, commercial Maruyama engine, which is positioned on heavy-duty, shock-absorbing springs attached to a new ergonomically designed backpack frame. The M42BK is fully padded, well balanced, comfortable, and ready to work hard.
