Redesigned zero-turn mowers

Gravely unveiled a redesigned series of Pro-Turn 200 and Pro-Turn 400 commercial zero-turn mowers; the series features smarter components, a smoother ride and more intuitive controls. An all-new constant-belt tensioning system enhances the unit’s overall performance. The new system maintains a constant belt tension; which produces a consistent blade tip speed; eliminates belt slippage that can damage belts and pulleys; improves engine efficiency and reduces the load, which saves fuel and engine life; and eliminates spring adjustments. A new deck level system features an exclusive design requiring only a four-point adjustment, reducing parts by 50 percent, which helps the mower maintain its best cutting performance.

Polymeric sand for paver joints

Techniseal HP NextGel Polymeric Sand ensures the stability and durability of paver joints; applied dry, it hardens when activated with water, and retains a degree of flexibility with moisture. Unlike mortar, it resists cracking because it follows the natural movement of soil caused by moisture changes as well as freezing and thawing. This optimal-strength formula is recommended for false and wide joints; heavy-sloped and high-traffic areas; high-humidity areas and pool decks; natural stone installations and commercial, residential, industrial and public projects.

Battery-powered handheld blower

The new Stihl BGA 100 handheld blower is the lightest, quietest and most powerful handheld blower in the company’s line. The 5.5 lb. blower is part of the Stihl Battery KombiSystem, which means no gas, no cord and no exhaust emissions. Instead of an on-board battery, the BGA 100 uses a battery belt or backpack battery. This unique feature aids in reducing weight, which reduces operator fatigue. A variable speed throttle trigger delivers four performance levels, and its rear-mounted air intake allows the blower to be used right- or left-handed.
