Tools of the Trade

29 Sep, 2003 By: Landscape Management Staff LM Week in Review


Tractor-pull

McCormick USA
has introduced a new transmission and model number for its medium-duty
line of CX series (73- to 102-hp) tractors. The CX 05 series features
a new optional XtraShift transmission with 24 forward and 24 reverse speeds
as options to the standard synchromesh shuttle transmission. An optional
rugged oscillating four-wheel drive front axle on the CX 05 is designed
for sure-footed traction and a tight turning radius. For more information
contact McCormick at www.mccormickusa.com.


Aerate great

Gandy
offers core and knife aerators from 34 in. to eight-ft.-wide in tow and
3-pt. Hitch models. The 34-in. and four-ft. models have a central shaft
featuring separate dual-wheel coring heads with six cores each and are
offered as either tow or 3-pt. hitch packages. The four-ft. model also
has an integral shroud to cover the working tines or knives. Depth of
coring penetration for the unit is increased by adding weight to a built-in
weight tray, with poly water containers as optional weights. For more
information contact Gandy at 800/443-2476 or

the largest capacity bulk spreader in its line. It carries up to 1.5 cu.
yds. of material and is constructed of heavy-duty polyethylene. Spread
width is infinitely variable from five to 40 ft. It comes standard with
a top screen and fitted tarp for effective material retention. For more
