Woodchuck SG-65 stump grinder
EZ Trench’s new stump grinder breaks away from traditional vertical cutting blades and uses a horizontal carbide blade. This design makes grinding stumps or cutting brush easier because it cuts against the wood grain. The Woodchuck weighs only 160 pounds, and is compact enough to transport in an SUV or pickup truck. A Honda GX200 6.5-hp engine coupled with a transmission that is in oil provides ample power and protection for the Woodchuck. There are not any belts to maintain because the transmission is coupled to a 50-hp rated right-angle gearbox with a chain/sprocket coupler. The Woodchuck’s simple design and operation makes it customer friendly and easy to maintain.
Bobcat 2300 utility vehicle
The new Bobcat 4-wheel-drive 2300 takes utility vehicles into a new generation with the first-ever front attachment arm that can be equipped with several attachments. Currently the 2300 utility vehicle can be equipped with five different specially designed Bobcat attachments: bucket, mower, pallet fork, snow mover and whisker push broom. A joystick control located in the center console of the utility vehicle controls the attachment arm and attachments. The simple design of the exclusive RapidLink attachment arm is engineered to be easy to hook up and use. A 20-hp diesel engine powers the new 2300.
