MoJack Mower Lift System |
|
| _ |
| |
|
|
“How do
I lift the mower to change the blades or clean the deck?”—This
is the number one question dealers are asked by customers
purchasing riding lawnmowers.
The answer is the MoJack, a lawn tractor-lifting system
that allows access to the undercarriage of virtually every
type of riding lawn tractor and zero-turn mower on the
market. The MoJack is made with 1” and 2”
11 ga. steel tubing and has a 400 lbs. weight capacity.
Features include: 25” of working space underneath;
3 safety features: a self-braking winch, jack stands,
and a safety pin for the T-bar; simple storage; and ease
of mobility, thanks to the dolly-like portability on semi-pneumatic
tires.
The MoJack is a must-have accessory for anyone with a
tractor style or zero-turn mower. Many procrastinate blade
maintenance or deck clean-out because of the difficulty
accessing the undercarriage, but this can lead to a severely
uneven grass cut and early deterioration of the mower.
Commerical grounds care professionals, power equipment
repair shops, hobby farmers and the average DIY homeowners
use the MoJack to do the necessary routine maintenance
on their riding mowers safely and efficiently. The design
has been proven durable, safe and easy to use.

Gailco Innovations Mow-Aerator
 The
patented Mow-Aerator, which has already begun hitting retail shelves,
received the coveted Popular Mechanics 2007 Editor’s Choice
award for outstanding achievement in new product design and innovation.
Popular Mechanics also recognized it as a “Star of the DIY
Toolbox.” In addition, the Mow-Aerator has been featured
on the DIY Network and HGTV.
The Mow-Aerator is designed for ease of use and maximum effectiveness.
It is a simple set of brackets and 1-1/2” spikes that attach
to a riding or push mower’s tires. As the lawn is mowed,
the weight of the mower helps the spikes penetrate the root zone,
allowing the user to mow and aerate at the same time, without
the chunks of dirt traditional aerators leave behind. When aeration
is not needed, the Mow-Aerator is easily removed. The Mow-Aerator
is a fast, cost-effective solution to common lawn problems like
bare spots, brown patches and hardened soil.
Features and benefits include: environmentally-friendly design;
ability to mow and aerate at the same time; easy assembly; powder
coat to prevent rust; patented system; attachment to back tires
of lawnmower; elimination of hassle of dirt/grass plugs; limited
1 year warranty.

Foley United 460
 If
you are looking to lengthen the life of mowing equipment, increase
desired grind frequency, improve cut quality, lower gas costs
and make the shop a safer environment, then look no further than
Foley United’s 460 automated rotary blade grinder.
While grinding on commercial mower blades is recommended between
every 8 to 12 hours of use, this practice is often overlooked.
However, improper blade maintenance can over-stress the engine,
heat up hydraulic systems, cause undue strain on belts and bearings,
and increase fuel bills. Foley United’s 460 is an enclosed
automated rotary blade grinding unit that has a quick mount and
dismount feature, a built-in blade balancing system, 2 grinding
heads that grind both sides of the blade simultaneously, and auto-infeed
cycles; also, it is designed for rapid transition from one blade
to another. It’s this innovation that simplifies the process
like no other product.
The new 460 not only minimizes the difficult issues and offers
the benefits that come with the proper care of your blades, but
it also addresses the dust and noise generated in the dealer shop.
