The innovative
BRD-280 Bed Re-Definer is designed to help shape flower
bed edges that have rounded over time. It helps keep the
lawn looking manicured with well-defined bed edges and
is lighter and easier to use than current wheeled products.
The BRD-280, in a bold color, features Echo’s 28.1
cc Power Boost Vortex engine for plenty of cutting power,
a 21.6 fl. oz. capacity see-through fuel tank that offers
longer run times, ergonomically comfortable rubber left
and right handle grips for extended use operation, a 59”
straight shaft with flex cable drive, an over-sized high-impact
plastic shield featuring a guide marker for precise cutting,
and a large adjustable support wheel which lessens fatigue
and keeps the unit in line. The BRD-280 is equipped with
a replaceable 3 finger metal blade, featuring carbide
tips for reduced wear and long-lasting performance. The
unit comes with a 5 year consumer, 1 year commercial or
90 day rental warranty.

Red Dragon
Back Pack Torch Kit
 The
Red Dragon Back Pack torch kit (BP2512SVC) has the added feature
of a squeeze valve with adjustable pilot. This torch kit has a
400,000 BTU capacity and has received CSA certification for use
in the U.S. and Canada. Each kit includes everything necessary
to operate, including the propane tank. Each kit features rugged,
all steel construction and is designed to operate on propane vapor
only. The squeeze valve allows for controlled flaming, perfect
for spot weeding or when full flame is not continuously required.
The flame treatment process is simple. When flame weeding, the
most effective method is to catch weeds early, from 1-4”.
At this stage, flaming is nearly 100% effective. The heat destroys
cell structure in the plant leaf, so the weed will no longer expend
energy for growth. On larger weeds, a stunting effect—or
even a complete kill—will occur, depending on how established
the root system is and how long the plant is exposed to the heat.
On smaller weeds, a slow walk is usually the best pace: just a
split second of heat should kill unwanted weeds and grasses—no
need to burn them to a crisp to be effective.
The backpack torch kit is an excellent tool for grounds maintenance,
landscaping and more. A bonus for the winter—it can be used
to melt ice, keeping walkways dry without the use of chemicals.
The Red Dragon torch kit is powered by clean burning propane and
has little to no environmental impact.

Shindaiwa
EB802/EB802RT Backpack Blower
 The
EB802 backpack blower is the latest product from Shindaiwa. The
EB802 boasts numerous innovative features and exceptional performance,
reinforcing Shindaiwa as a true industry leader in the professional
blower market. At 79.2 cc displacement, the 4.3 HP engine produces
an impressive output with an airspeed of 224 MPH and volume of
762 CFM at tube tip. The Shindaiwa EB802 is one of the most powerful
2-stroke blowers on the market today.
Built tough, the EB802 features a 2 ring piston design and closed-ported
4 bolt chrome-plated cylinder for maximum durability. An efficient
2 stage air filter system features easy access, and the foam pre-filter
and pleated air filter design provides more effective surface
area. The vertical mount filter is designed to be self-cleaning
to reduce dust build-up on pleats. A special feature of the EB802
is its new intake leaf guard design. Because of its downward sloping
fins, it is very effective in minimizing the risk of overheating
from leaf blockage. The EB802 features a newly designed, ergonomic
lightweight frame with a comfortable shoulder harness system that
reduces stress on operator pressure points. Dual fully padded
shoulder strap adjustments allow the user to easily fine tune
the fit for nonbinding comfort and reduced fatigue, which translates
to increased productivity. In addition, the EB802 features a convenient
“hush mode” switch, which reduces the sound level
to 65 dB(A), meeting many city-enforced noise ordinances so there
is no need for a separate “quiet” blower.
