efco DS 2400S The DS 2400S is 1 of 5 new trimmers that efco introduced at the 2012 GIE+EXPO. The DS 2400S is a 22cc trimmer that produces 1.2-hp., ideal for the commercial user. It is a straight-shaft, loop-handle trimmer weighing only 9.2 pounds (also available is a bike handle, the DS 2400T). Along with these commercial units, the DS 2200 series is designed for the homeowner. Lighter weight, these 22 cc units product 1.1-hp. and are easy to use. Gehl excavator range The new Gehl excavator range consists of 5 all-new models; the Z17, Z27, Z35, Z45 and Z80. Each model is built around a powerful and reliable Yanmar engine; Tier IV on the Z17 and Interim Tier IV on the Z27, Z35, Z45 and Z80. The hydraulic system is designed to enhance engine performance, resulting in a more efficient system. These models are true zero-tail-swing machines, eliminating cab overhang beyond the tracks in all directions. This allows the machine to operate directly against a wall or other obstruction without causing damage to the structure or machine. The hydraulic system incorporates 2 variable pumps and 2 gear pumps. The oil flows are efficiently combined, redirected to where the flow is needed. Gehl V400 skid loader Gehl's vertical-lift V400 skid loader boasts a rated operating capacity of 4,000 pounds and a true vertical lift height of 144 inches. The V400 is a true vertical lift machine, which means the lift path follows a vertical line as opposed to an "s"-shaped path offered by competitive vertical-lift models. The V400 comes equipped with a powerful Cummins diesel engine providing 326 ft-lbs. of torque and 99 gross horsepower. The hydraulic fan with swing-out cooler reduces fuel consumption and noise levels, and provides improved service access. All daily maintenance and service checks can be performed through the large rear engine hood. High system pressure, with optional high-flow of up to 40.8 gpm, is designed to handle virtually every high-performance attachment. Gravely Pro-Stance Series mowers Gravely's new commercial Pro-Stance Series mowers offer patent-pending features, including integrated transmissions, a dial height-of-cut and foot pedal deck lift. The integrated Hydro-Gear transmissions in the Pro-Stance provide a low center of gravity. With a low center of gravity, operators can easily and more quickly handle slopes or uneven terrain. Integrated transmissions also reduce leak points and eliminate cross contamination typical in pump and wheel motor systems. Innovative dampening gives a smooth ride and speeds up to 9 mph. The dial height-of-cut adjustment allows the operator to change the deck height at the control panel without stepping off the machine. Dual deck lift controls allow operators to raise the deck with a hand or foot lever, ensuring ease of operation in all mowing conditions. Hannay Reels 1500 Series Hannay Reels' 1500 Series hose reel is designed for an array of grounds maintenance applications including lawn care, pest control, power washing and general spraying.

The 1500 Series accommodates long lengths of 1/4-inch to 5/8-inch ID hose that can stretch out over any area, while handling liquid temperatures from 20 - 400 degrees Fahrenheit with a standard operating pressure of 3,000 psi. Hose reels dispensing liquids at other pressures and temperatures are available. Harley D4 Power Box Rake The Harley D4 Power Box Rake by Paladin Attachments teams with compact tool carriers to deliver superior leveling, aeration and preparation of soil for seeding. Harley has designed the D4 Power Box Rake to be 22 percent lighter than previous models to provide better balance and optimum maneuverability without compromising strength. It features a new hex drive system and direct drive motor that has been completely embedded into the rotating drum, protecting it fully from ground debris and allowing for improved performance and reliability with fewer components and less maintenance.
