1. Grader Options

Bobcat now offers grader options for larger, more powerful loaders. Features include hydraulic side-shift for easier grading in tight areas or next to obstacles and an end-wing kit so the grader can be used as a box blade. The 96 and 108-inch graders are approved for use on Bobcat S300 and S330 skid steers, the A300 all-wheel steer loader and the T250, T300 and T320 compact track loaders.

2. New Ground Fault Locator

The Pro3000 Ground Fault Locator, introduced by Armada Technologies, features a dual power output transmitter and an easy-to-understand battery power indicator. Damaged wires leak voltage and current into the ground, causing electrical appliances to fail at the other end. Ground fault locators easily and accurately pinpoint this trouble to the exact spot of leakage.

3. Poly Hopper Spreader

The new Sno-Pro Fast Cast 550 Spreader from Curtis Industries features a lightweight polymer hopper with steel structural parts that can be used with various types of material, including salt and sand. The spreader weighs 300 pounds and is powered by a 5.5 hp Honda gas engine. In-cab controls offer the operator complete control of material, adjustable gate flow control and adjustable material deflectors with a spreading width of 4 to 24 feet. Includes tie-down straps and wiring harness, as well as top grate and cover options.

4. Double Capacity

Now available for Earth & Turf LLC’s MultiSpread Model 320: light material sides. With this option, the 1-cubic-yard topdresser virtually doubles its capacity when spreading light materials, such as compost, calcined clay, etc. Maximum load capacity with the sides is 3,600 pounds. Available for dealer or customer installation.
