Easy-to-use fingertip trigger controls feature independent levers to control drive and broom engagement. The convenient broom angle adjustment (up to 20 degrees left/right) is thumb operated, and a robust positive pin-type broom height adjustment system is adjustable in 1/8-inch increments. Two available bristle materials provide all-season versatility, delivering maximum cleaning effectiveness with minimal impact on virtually any surface. The multi-season design of the powerful CH270 Kohler Command Pro engine allows it to function in warm and cold environments with 180-degree rotation of the air intake. GRASSHOPPER TURBINE BLOWERS Grasshopper turbine blowers clear debris from congested, hard-to-reach or wide-open areas, as well as long stretches of walkways and curbs in a fraction of the time required by conventional backpack blowers and walk-behind units. Significantly quieter than most debris blowers, turbine blowers offer 360-degree nozzle rotation — controlled remotely from the operator's station — to direct airflow precisely for reduced high-volume cleanup time along walking paths and around sport facilities, parking lots, playgrounds and cemeteries. By increasing productivity and decreasing labor, Grasshopper turbine blowers can make a significant impact on the bottom line. GRAVELY POWER BRUSH SERIES The Gravely Power Brush clears up to 6 inches of snow from pavement, pathways, parking lots and other exterior areas in a single pass. The strong and durable polypropylene brush cleans so completely that salt, sand and chemicals are not needed, saving facility managers and contractors time, labor and cost. Flexible bristles adapt to the surface contour and will not damage or discolor decorative surfaces and landscapes. A powerful all-season Subaru engine ensures fast starts in cold weather. A choice of 3 different models, with brush sizes ranging from 28 to 36 inches, lets customers choose the unit that best fits their needs. HUSQVARNA 436LiB BLOWER The Husqvarna 436LiB is a lightweight, low-maintenance and easy-to-use handheld blower for the time-conscious professional seeking high-quality performance similar to gas-powered products. A simple tap on the control panel starts it instantly, and cruise control maintains constant speeds while the power boost setting allows removal of stubborn debris, leaves and dirt — even indoors. A slim, narrow design and soft grip make operation a breeze. LAWNSHARK 2-STAGE VAC LawnShark's 2-Stage Vac sweeper vac is an effective, high-performance, litter and leaf collection machine that saves time and decreases labor by essentially eliminating the antiquated and time- consuming process of raking. The LawnShark's technology hinges on cyclonic suction, which, combined with counter-rotating brushes under the main deck, provides a 32-inch clearing width. The LawnShark effectively collects, chops, and stores sticks, leaves and other organic matter, nuts and hulls, thatch, paper and plastic debris, and aluminum cans. With an overall width of less than 36 inches, the LawnShark can pass through any standard gate opening. Dethatching is made easy with optional dethatching brushes. OREGON BL300 CORDLESS BLOWER Powered by the same premium battery technology that powers the entire Oregon family of tools, the BL300 handheld blower features a variable-speed trigger with a turbo button for added power. With a max air volume of 507 cfm and a max air speed of 131.5 mph on turbo, the blower offers gas-like performance in a convenient cordless package. The BL300 is also quiet, silent between trigger pulls, and compliant with most community noise standards, making it ideal for early-morning work, as well as for using in communities with low-noise requirements.
