NEW PRODUCTS NEW PRODUCTS What's New on the Market? Bandit 2250XP The all-new Model 2250XP self-propelled stump grinder from Bandit Industries uses a heavy-duty hydrostatic motor to directly power its 20-inch- diameter cutter wheel. This eliminates the need for a clutch, jackshaft, drive belt, belt tensioning system and the many sheaves and bearings associated with those components. The result is a competitively priced stump grinder that requires significantly less maintenance than similar machines. Less main- tenance means less downtime and lower operating costs, allowing the 2250XP to work longer with less investment in parts and labor. Powering the Bandit Model 2250XP is a 27-horsepower gas engine driving two hydraulic pumps — one for the self-propelled undercarriage and one for the cutter wheel. The hydrostatic motor at the cutter wheel is a heavy-duty, 40cc unit that uses an oversize bearing to manage the side load and shock loads asso- ciated with stump grinding. With no clutch to operate, engaging the cutter wheel is literally as simple as pushing a lever. Easy-to-use machine-mounted controls are intuitive and positioned to provide good visibility while grinding. Cintas releases new Carhartt Rental Active Jacket Cintas Corporation added a popular Carhartt jacket to its Carhartt Rental Workwear line. This addition was prompted by an overwhelming demand by Cintas customers, many of whom work outdoors and in cold tempera- tures. The Carhartt Rental Active Jacket is available in Carhartt brown and features a quilted flannel lining for warmth, an attached hood, two large lower outside front pockets and secure inside pockets, triple- stitched seams for added durability and a heavy-duty zipper. It is available in sizes small through 5XL. The Carhartt Rental Active Jacket, along with the rest of the Carhartt Rental Workwear line, was developed exclusively for Cintas. Workers will appreciate the styling, durability and rugged performance one would expect from Carhartt with the added benefits of laundering, repair and replacement that accompany a Cintas Rental Program. www.arborage.com Bradco stump grinder The Bradco stump grinder by Paladin Construction Group attaches to skid- steers for stump removal needs.
