Design-Build EquipmentExcavator Drum Mulcher Pro X
From Diamond Mowers

The Excavator Drum Mulcher Pro X is offered in 30″ and 50″cutting widths to accommodate excavator carriers from 4.5 to 10 metric tons. The attachment comes equipped with a Rexroth 63cc adjustable displacement hydraulic motor that provides impressive torque to power through material up to 8″ in diameter, while an abrasion-resistant AR 400 liner minimizes wear. Oversized, serrated skid shoes hang off the sides of the attachment head to control, position, and manipulate downed material for more effective processing. Its infeed system allows for optimum tree engagement and feeds materials from left to right as it sweeps the ground for greater productivity per pass and a desirable chip size.

John Deere G-tier Compact Wheel LoadersJohn Deere G-tier Compact Wheel Loaders

The new John Deere G-tier models, including the 184, 204, and 304 G-tier machines, come standard with limited slip differential, automatically engaging if one wheel loses traction. All G-tier models offer ground-level service and increased capacity fuel tanks to help simplify daily maintenance and keep machines up and running. The optional ride-control—which can be set to engage and disengage at certain speeds—reduces spillage over rough terrain and improves ride quality. The cab design is offered in both canopy and enclosed configurations and features a frameless, fully glass door, floor-to-ceiling front windshield, and remounted machine display. The cab also includes improved air conditioning systems and ergonomic low-effort controls. Additional features include an adjustable steering column, slip-resistant steps, and an optional LED lighting package.

ASV Smooth CTL Turf TracksASV Smooth CTL Turf Tracks

With a combination of greater ground surface area and the benefits of ASV’s Posi-Track® undercarriage, Turf Tracks can achieve equal or better traction than treaded tracks on dry surfaces. ASV Turf Tracks can minimize damage to topsoil and root systems, allowing for faster job completion in landscape, hardscape, and golf course applications. ASV’s green Turf Tracks have a completely smooth design and are manufactured from a specialized blend that resists cracking, provides traction, and maximizes overall life. The rubber tracks also eliminate rusting and corrosion. Durability is maximized through seven layers of embedded puncture-, cut-, and stretch-resistant material. Available for the RT-25, RT-40, RT-50, RT-65, and VT-70 High-Output models.
