Toro

The Toro soil cultivator attachment, for use on Toro Dingo compact utility loaders, transforms rough terrain into a planting bed in a single pass.

Rayco

Rayco introduces its new 6-inch disk brush chipper, the RC 6D. A 25-hp Kohler V-twin engine produces torque ratings of 39.5-foot pounds at 2,800 rpm, generating high performance while providing long life and easy maintenance. The RC 6D is suited to rental applications because of its enhanced safety features and economical performance, the company says. Reversing auto feed keeps the RC 6D at the correct rpm level to create more uniform chips, and uses less fuel and minimizes vibration, which reduces wood shifting to keep the operator safer.
