For Contractors
Portable vacuum excavator
The Ditch Witch FX30 vacuum
excavation system is both a portable vacuum unit that can be used for a
variety of utility cleanup operations and an efficient soft excavating
machine. The FX30's 2-lobe blower develops 500 cfm and 15 inches of
mercury, providing powerful suction force. The unit's drive system is
engineered to provide efficient use of power, and the clutch of the
high-pressure water pump automatically disengages when water is not in
use, allowing full horsepower to go to the blower. A single element,
3-micron 100-square-foot filter cleans air going to the blower. A
primary use of the vacuum function for utility construction is to keep
surface areas of construction sites free of drilling fluids that escape
from bore holes during directional drilling. The FX30 sucks up fluids
into its 800-gallon vacuum tank, which tips to a 45-degree angle for
dumping. The FX30 can also dig potholes to expose buried pipe or cable
without the risk of damage associated with backhoes, excavators or other
mechanical tools.

Walk-behind saws
Wacker
introduces the series of BFS walk-behind saws are designed for better
cutting performance, which is achieved by placing the engine forward on
the unit, directly over the cutting area, according to the company. The
design distributes the majority of the machine's weight, allowing it to
pull the saw forward with less effort and provide straight cuts. The
frame is made from steel to protect the engine and provide machine
stability. Designed for a long life and low maintenance, the BFS series
features a poly V-belt that provides direct power transmission from the
engine to the cutting shaft. Because the belt will experience less wear,
the saws run at top performance for an extended period, the company
says. A vibration damping ergonomic handle system makes individual
adjustments to the handle width and height possible, allowing for
optimum operator comfort and control of the unit.

Blowers
The 8- and 9-hp Optimax maximum output blowers from Little Wonder feature increased
power through a redesign in the units housing, which also increases
airflow at a higher velocity. The LB800 features an 8-hp Briggs Intek IC
engine and the LB900 features a 9-hp Honda engine. A patented,
split-opening deflector is designed to eliminate blowback or windowing.
Both models feature a cushion-gripped, height-adjustable ergonomic
handle and 12-inch pneumatic rear wheels for easy maneuverability.

The Husqvarna K960 saw
features DualCharge engine technology designed to provide power, low
emissions and improved fuel economy. The K960 features a 6.1-hp engine
and can cut up to 6 inches deep with a 16-inch blade, the maker says.
The saw also features Active Air Filtration, which increases life of the
filters by three to five times, and the SmartCarb feature ensures that
high power is retained. A larger front handle provides a more
comfortable grip for easier operation. The saw also has built-in modules
with a vibration damping system.

For Homeowners/Light Contractors
Robotic lawnmower
LawnBott from Kyodo is a
robotic lawnmower that uses a flat blade to mulch grass as it cuts.

zones to trim grass for three to four hours per session either on a
weekly schedule or as often as needed. The LawnBott pulls itself away
when the job is completed.

Spool Gun
The Magnum 100SG spool gun from Lincoln Electric is designed
to provide reliable and precise wire feeding performance for soft
aluminum wire. Designed for novice and experienced welders, the 100SG
comes as a complete kit in a cushioned carrying case with everything
needed to get started. To reduce the number of expendable parts, this
spool gun uses the same contact tips and nozzles as the standard Magnum
100L MIG gun. The spool gun weighs in at 3.5 pounds and is suited for
quick projects and repairs because it does not require a bulky adaptor
module. All combinations of specified aluminum alloys and wire diameters
can be fed with the same drive roll and liner assembly. The Magnum 100SG
is recommended for use with the MIG140C, 104T, 180C and 180T from
Lincoln Electric.
