EH99 big block V-Twin engines meet a growing demand for larger, air-cooled gasoline engines that deliver increased power for a wider range of applications. The engines are ideal for equip- ment like zero-turn mowers, utility vehicles, chippers, stump grinders and wood processors. The EH90 and EH99 are extremely durable and low maintenance, and they boast heat-reduction technology. Both engines are 999 cc and feature heavy-duty connecting rods, large crankshaft bearings and 3-ring pistons. The hardened exhaust valve and seats can handle high temperatures, improving engine performance, efficiency and overall engine life. The big block engines comply with all current EPA require- ments and provide a viable alternative to diesel engines. Both engines are backed by Subaru's 5-year limited warranty. Subaru industrial engines opTiMaTe 3 The all-new OptiMate 3 is now available in 1-bank, 2-bank and 4-bank units. An all-in-one tool for complete 12-volt battery care at home, OptiMate 3 diagnoses, recovers, charges, tests, and optimally maintains — automatically. OptiMate 3 retains all the fully automatic, 100- percent-safe, easy-to-use characteristics of the 2 million OptiMates produced since 1995, but is now microprocessor-controlled, lighter and more efficient than ever, and it comes with global input (100-240 volts). And it's 33-percent more powerful than its predecessor. Forgot a battery throughout the winter? OptiMate 3 will recover it from deep discharge and optimally recharge it. Then, it will check that the charge delivered is the best possible before then checking how well the battery can retain the charge, and tell the operator its status, at a glance. Of course, it will then maintain a battery at full charge safely for months at a time and prolong its life by up to 400 percent.

For use with both 2- and 4-cycle small engines, this fuel treatment is designed to keep fuel fresh, keep fuel systems clean, and prevent corrosion caused by ethanol. Toro began offering a fuel treatment solution in 2013, and is now introducing the pouches to provide users with a simple, quick solution to properly treat fuel, ultimately increasing the longevity of the engine. The formula is designed to protect fuel against water absorption, and protect the engine against the harmful effects of ethanol. Each pouch includes a mixture of deter- gents that dissolve particulate deposits within the fuel system and keep the intake valves clean. The formula also coats and protects the carburetor. Specially formulated to prevent corrosion of critical fuel-system components, Toro Premium Fuel Treatment contains a metal deactivator that guards components against rust, oxidation, and other corrosion that ethanol is known to accelerate. The fuel treatment solution keeps fuel fresh for 12-plus months at 0.5-fluid-ounce per gallon, and can also aid in easy starting, even after seasonal storage.
