36 July/August 2015 Landscape and Irrigation www.landscapeirrigation.com EQUIPMENT FOCUS BOBCAT PLANETARY AUGERS The Bobcat 35PH and 50PH planetary drive augers are designed with a high-torque gear- box, allowing them to deliver more power for difficult installations at deeper dig- ging depths. Greater torque can be especially beneficial to landscape professionals excavat- ing and grading or installing fence, anchors and screw pylons. Both the 35PH and 50PH planetary augers are 11.5 inches wide and 39.6 inches long and can dig to depths of 73 inches without an extension. An optional adjustable inner extension is available to increase the dig- ging depth an additional 48 inches. The 35PH planetary auger provides 4,177 foot-pounds of torque at 3,500 psi, while the 50HP offers 5,291 foot-pounds of torque at 3,500 psi. JCB FORESTRY CUTTING HEAD ATTACHMENT JCB's unique forestry cutting head attach- ment shreds and mulches hardwood trees up to 8 inches in diameter. It's ideal for clearing trees and brush for pre- or post-disaster mitigation, utility line and right- of-way maintenance, and site preparation, including cutting firebreaks and maintaining properties. The forestry cutting head's extreme- duty design utilizes a high-output, variable displacement piston motor with self-aligning belt drive providing maximum productivity. A hydraulically adjustable deflector door controls materials as they're discharged as well as their processing size. A heavy-duty push bar aids in toppling trees and offers the carrier additional protection. The forestry cutting head is de- signed to operate at 2,000 rpm with a balanced 3/4-inch drum wall and 2.4-inch alloy steel shaft. Mechanical seals protect rotor bearings, and there's a replaceable, abrasion-resistant wear plate on the unit's skid shoes. Fixed ham- mers feature replaceable carbide teeth. NEW HOLLAND FRONT-END LOADERS Loaders are the most widely used implement currently on the market. When purchasing a loader, consider its breakout force, lift capacity, lift height, and bucket size. For convenience, consider a front-end loader with quick-attach system that allows you to quickly and easily switch from a standard bucket to other attachments. All New Holland loaders can be quickly detached from the tractor. They are freestanding so you do not need a lift, floor jack, or tools to detach. The 200TL Series offers a curved boom design for improved visibility and stress management throughout the boom instead of at weld points. Large, high-volume buckets are standard on New Holland loaders. With the 200TL Series, you will move mulch, dirt, and materials around the job site with ease. New Holland also offers a variety of attachments including mowers, backhoes, blades, snow blowers, and more that work well in landscape applications. TEREX LOEGERING ELIMINATOR The Terex Loegering Eliminator is a non- hydraulic attachment that has no moving parts and is the most cost-effective landscaping rake in its class. It was called the Eliminator because it "eliminates" the manual labor of edge work as it is low profile and operators can push material right to an edge. Its teeth are designed to loosen tough soil. With the Eliminator, operators can go from an uncleared lot to a finished seedbed with one attachment. It is ideal for use along driveways, walks and curbs. Multiple sizes of the Eliminator attachment available to fit an operator's needs: 42, 72 and 84 inch. ATTACHMENTS AND ACCESSORIES FOR LOADERS
