Product Round-up | Edgers Echo PE-265S straight-shaft edger The Echo PE-265S perfect-edge straight-shaft edger features a 25.4cc Power Boost Vortex engine for outstanding per- formance, and the straight shaft design reduces cable wear. It also features an i-30 starter for a 30-percent reduction in starting effort; ergonomically comfortable rubber left and right handle grips for all-day operation; a Pro-Torque gear case for optimum power to the blade; and a replaceable steel wear plate for extended gear case life. Grasshopper Edge-EZE edger Improve productivity, reduce time-consuming hand edging, and eliminate the need for 2-cycle edgers with Grasshopper's Edge-EZE. Electric and manual models deliver a clean edge up to 2.5 inches deep up to 500 feet per minute along side- walks, driveways and roadways. Edge-EZE allows vertical adjustment up to 12 inches and edging from the sidewalk, turf or curb. An optional electric actuator increases downward pressure in tough conditions and raises the disc to cross side- walks. Husqvarna Model 327ES Husqvarna Model 327ES is equipped with an E-TECH II engine for increased power and better fuel economy. The front handle can quickly be adjusted using the thumb screw. A wear plate under the engine and a reinforced spark plug guard provide added protection to the unit. The 327ES is outfitted with a heavy-duty 90-degree edger head; an efficient air fil- ter that provides less cost for service and less engine wear; a stand-alone starter that makes it easy to change starter cord if needed; and a stop switch that automatically resets to the "ON" position for easier starting. Kawasaki KEL27B edger The Kawasaki KEL27B edger is powered by Kawasaki's TJ27E engine. The 26.3cc engine is designed for "one-pull" start- ing and improved fuel efficiency, including an upgraded carburetor design that reduces exhaust emissions to meet the toughest EPA and CARB Tier III requirements. The "stratified" 2-barrel carburetor buffers in fresh air between the intake and exhaust cycle, which reduces unburned fuel in the exhaust. The engine's catalyst exhaust system further cuts emis- sions and enhances fuel efficiency for cleaner, more efficient operation. The engine's enrichment starting system re- places the typical choke, and eliminates chance of flooding the engine at start-up.
