Electric and manual models deliver a clean edge up to 2.5 inches deep up to 500 feet/minute along side- walks, driveways and roadways. Vertical adjustment up to 12 inches allows edging from the sidewalk, turf or curb. An optional electric actuator increases downward pressure in tough conditions and raises the disc to cross sidewalks. By increasing productivity and decreasing labor, Edge-EZE can make a significant impact on the bottom line. Gravely edger With a variety of adjustment capabilities, the Gravely edger offers landscapers the ability to cut, edge, trim and bevel along walkways, driveways and curbs. Equipped with a 169-cc Subaru or 136-cc Gravely engine, the Gravely edger has the power to perform the most difficult landscaping projects while minimizing noise and vibration. Its recoil starter and standard push drive train system make the machine easy to operate. The edger's deck is built with 12-gauge steel for added strength and durability and offers 4 cutting height positions. The edger's curb hop feature allows the right rear wheel to adjust vertically for edging along curbs. Unique to the Gravely edger is a laterally adjustable front wheel, which allows the pivot head to rotate 110 degrees for trimming. The ergonomic T-handle optimizes operator comfort, while also adding a level of safety though an operator presence control. Earthwise lithium-powered cordless trimmer • 40-volt lithium battery • 4-amp-hour lithium battery for fade-free power and longer work time (holds charge 4 times longer than Ni-Cad) • Straight-shaft (16-inch cut) and curved-shaft (14-inch cut) models • Blade capable (brushcutter) • Fast charge time: 1 hour • 2-year limited warranty Honda trimmers Powered by a Honda mini 4-stroke engine, every Honda trimmer is highly fuel efficient, offers excellent torque for de- manding jobs, and features the Honda Quick Start system for easy starting. The HHT25SLTA (25cc), HHT35SLTA (35cc) and HHT35SUKA (35cc with bicycle-type handle) trimmers run on regular gasoline, so there's never a need to mix gas and oil. Honda 4-stroke engines are exceptionally quiet, clean running, and a reliable backbone of power for all Honda outdoor power equipment products. Husqvarna battery-operated trimmers Husqvarna is adding to its line of battery-operated products. Each new product is equipped with a high-capacity Li-Ion 36-volt battery that offers the performance of a gasoline-powered engine with a cleaner and quieter experience. Each product also features SavE mode technology, which can be activated with the push of a button to lower output perform- ance and increase battery life in less-demanding situations (e.g. light grass trimming or small branch cutting). Three new high-performance trimmers — the curved 136LiL, straight-loop 536LiL, and straight-bullhorn 536LiR — provide ex- cellent ergonomics and balance for efficient, non-exhausting performance. Each provides stepless electronic speed con- trol, with the latter 2 models featuring a brushless motor and rotation direction change for professional use. Little Wonder edgers Little Wonder offers several models of powered edgers that are ideal for busy landscaping and grounds maintenance professionals who require time and cost efficiency. From Little Wonder's line of powerful, compact Pro walk-behind edgers to the premier self-propelled commercial BedShaper, Little Wonder offers an edger to match any-sized job and any-sized landscape crew. Little Wonder Pro edgers (pictured) are engineered with durable steel frames, a cast-iron cut- ter head housing, 10-inch reversible blades, and choice of hardworking engines that induce a cutting speed of 90 feet per minute. The Little Wonder BedShaper cuts crisp clean edges, even "S" curves, up to 100 feet per minute, making short work of even the largest edging, bed shaping and trenching projects.
