Billy Goat

The all-new OS900 is a self-propelled hydrostatic overseeder that verticuts and overseeds in one pass. The unit features a 22-inch slicing reel that floats with the contours of the yard, increasing seed-to-soil contact and improving germination rates. The OS900 comes standard with Subaru or Honda power coupled to a self-propelled hydrostatic drive for infinite speed control. The Auto Drop system automatically stops and starts seed drop with reel engagement and disengagement, conserving seed.

General Equipment

Featuring total hydraulic operation, General Equipment Co.'s 660 DIG-R-MOBILE is designed for fence placement, sign installation and general homeowner and construction projects. The unit's hydraulic system is designed to rotate augers at the same speeds found with General's 300 Series portable hole-digging units, a design parameter that quickly produces clean, usable holes in a wide range of soil classifications. The 13-hp Honda gasoline engine allows operation at reduced speeds, increasing component life and producing less noise. The unit also incorporates an auxiliary tool circuit, which allows the 660 to use hydraulically powered tools, including small breakers, post pullers and drills.
