24 FEBRUARY 2017 OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT www.outdoorpowerequipment.com S T R I N G T R I M M E R S & E D G E R S Atom Professional Edger The Atom Professional Edger is a wheelbarrow-style, shaft-driven edger that is fast, safe and incredibly efficient. Standard crossover blades deliver a clean edge with no skipping. Unique to the Atom machine is the optional wire wheel brush blade. Specifically developed for edging along asphalt surfaces, the wire wheel brush blade will quickly and sharply slice away the grass while not harming the asphalt surface. Initial testing shows that the wire wheel brush blade lasts 10-30 miles before needing replacement. Powered by a Honda GX-35 engine, the Atom Professional Edger is capable of edging 300 feet per minute, or approximately 8 miles per day. Atom Industries/Seago International, Inc. Cub Cadet Powered by CORE CCT400 string trimmer Cub Cadet Powered by CORE uses a sophisticated motor technology to deliver more torque with longer run times, so users get all the muscle of gas with none of the hassle. The CCT400 string trimmer comes with a strong warranty for extra assurance that it was built to last. CORE technology features a highly intelligent power system that leverages a unique motor design and a responsive load-sensing controller to deliver power and performance where and when it is needed — and it's cordless. In fact, CORE generates power equal to gas engines, and maximizes pound-for-pound power and efficiency. This power generates maximum torque, which is the primary force that allows users to tackle the toughest outdoor challenges. Cub Cadet Powered by CORE Echo's ProXtreme Series Echo's new ProXtreme Series is setting a new performance standard for grounds maintenance. Acreage owners will enjoy the performance of this group as much as a professional landscaper. The full lineup includes a trimmer (SRM-2620), a high-torque trimmer (SRM-2620T), a brushcutter (SRM-2620U), and an edger (PE-2620). Each one features an outstanding combination of low weight (thanks to the use of military-grade magnesium) and high horsepower, along with exceptional air filtration and long run time. The trimmers and brushcutters are equipped with easy-loading Speed-Feed 400 cutting heads, which can be re-loaded in seconds without disassembly. The edger features a clog-resistant shield. Echo Inc. efco DS 2700 S Developed for the more demanding user, the efco DS 2700 S professional brushcutter delivers top-of-the-line performance while providing comfort for longer projects. The 27-cc 2-stroke engine produces 1.3-hp., generous torque output to get the job done. The DS 2700 S features all-aluminum clutch housing for reduced weight while increasing strength and reliability; a robust outer 26-mm tube, solid-steel drive shaft and maintenance-free bushings; and a gearhead specially designed for maximum performance and balance. The efco VPS Pro handle allows for reduced vibration, multi- position grip and safer operation. The Load & Go line head takes only 30 seconds to reload. The DS 2700 S comes standard with a harness and grass blade. efco/Comet USA Grasshopper Edge-EZE edger The Grasshopper Edge-EZE edger can save labor, eliminate time-consuming hand edging, and replace a 2-cycle edger. Compatible with Grasshopper MidMount and FrontMount DuraMax decks (48 inches and larger), the Edge-EZE maintains a clean, sharp edge from the sidewalk, street or curb at up to 500 feet per minute. Optional electric actuator increases downward pressure in tough conditions. The Grasshopper Co. Greenworks GT160 string trimmer The GT160 string trimmer is powered by Greenworks' new 82-volt lithium-ion battery technology — the highest voltage battery available in commercial outdoor power equipment. Engineered using advanced battery cell technology, this power source enables the string trimmer to match — and, often, to outperform — gas-equivalent power and run times. The GT160 features include up to 31 minutes of constant run time with a fully charged 4.0-Ah battery; power equivalent to a 32-cc gas engine; a brushless motor that delivers more torque, quiet operation, and longer life; a 16-inch-wide cut path with a .095-inch twisted dual-line bump-feed head that powers through every job from routine maintenance to intensive trimming; a top- mounted motor design combined with an aluminum straight shaft for excellent balance and ergonomics while trimming; a variable-speed trigger; and electric start. When compared to a gas-powered string trimmer, the GT160 produces up to 5 times less vibration and 50 percent less noise. Plus, it requires zero maintenance.
