Husqvarna SherrillTree Buckingham Samson Vermeer Silky Oregon
If you climb with a friction hitch, SherrillTree is introducing what the company calls, 'the Swiss Army knife of hitch-tending pulley's. The Hitch Climber Pulley is small in size and has three holes for attachment, along with flared side plates with well-rounded edges that guide incoming rope. The Hitch Climber is designed to act as the hub of a friction-hitch work-positioning system that helps properly align carabiners and tension your hitch evenly. The Hitch Climber instructions illustrate an assortment of equipment options for climbing, rescue, and load-hauling duties. Unlike any micro-sized pulley before it, the Hitch Climber provides the unique ability to connect two climbing systems into one to simplify previously complicated maneuvers. Available in two colors (to differentiate applications of rigging from climbing). For lines 9 to 13 mm, weight 96 g. For further information, visit www.SherrillTree.com.
Champion climbers and professionals at ArborMaster worked closely with Samson engineers to develop the ultimate climbing line: ArborMaster. Some of the best arborists in the business have helped design this product with you and your needs in mind - they depend on it themselves. With your life and livlihood on the line, you too can count on ArborMaster to perform.
Built to a full 1/2" diameter, ArborMaster is a premium-quality, 16-strand line that offers a smooth, durable surface to optimize footlocking. ArborMaster's unique design has no cover-to-core slippage so you can alternate the rope's working end to maximize its service life. Made from specially treated polyester with a stabilized nylon core, ArborMaster is available in three, high-contract color combinations: red/black/white, Blue Streak, and Gold Streak.
Features:
- Maximum firmness and flexibility for all climbing techniques
- High visibility in trees
- Low stretch
- Half-inch diameter for easy grip
- Available in spliced units
- Maintains excellent service flexibility
- Both ends can be spliced without cover bunching

At A Glance
Vermeer has introduced the SC1152 and SC652 stump cutters' designed to enhance cutting and the ability to maneuver through tough jobsite conditions. An innovative and unique four-bar linkage allows the cutter wheel to move away from the machine as the boom drops down toward the stump, reducing the need to reposition the entire unit. Both units can achieve cutting heights of 31 inches (79 cm) above ground and 25 inches (64 cm) below grade. Full-time four-wheel drive and variable speed control provide traction in difficult ground conditions. A optional, remote control provides propel, boom and steering-function control. Chips can be easily moved on the jobsite with an optional 34-inch (86 cm) wide front-mounted chip blade.

The 16-2 1/2 inch curved blade utilizes proprietary Silky MIRAI-ME (Smooth Cutting) Technology - The Teeth of the Future! The precision-ground, razar-sharp, super-agressive teeth with four cutting angles provide extremely fast cutting action. The taper-ground profile reduces drag and directs more usable energy to the cutting edge. The blade features a replaceable lower sickly for small branches and undercutting bark.
HAYATE is manufactured with high visibility colors and comes equipped with a new advanced design sheath with a built-in carrying handle. It is ideal for pruning large branches at a higher position without ever climbing a ladder. This is the strongest and fastest telescoping pole saw available on the market today.

Husqvarna
After years of extensive research, development and testing, Husqvarna has introduced a new environmentally friendly engine technology that provides more power and efficiency while decreasing fuel consumption and emissions.
Designed to provide more power where you need it, when you need it, Husqvarna's 2-stroke X-TORQ engines increase productivity across a wide range of RPM's. That translates into finishing projects sooner and increasing profitability. Husqvarna products with X-TORQ engines are also extremely fuel efficient, saving you up to 20% in fuel consumption. That means more time working and less time re-fueling.
Not only do X-TORQ products increase productivity and reduce the hit on the wallet, they are easier on the environment as well. All Husqvrna X-TORQ products fulfill the most stringent environmental regulations. Most 2-cycle engines emit an air/fuel mixture. X-TORQ engines scavenge the exhaust with clean air, which reduces emissions by up to 60%, all while delivering more torque and using less fuel.
Plus, when it comes to maintenance, X-TORQ makes it easy. There are no frequent or complex valve adjustments or special oils to add. And unlike their 4-stroke counterpart, X-TORQ 2-stroke technology uses all the primary engine components without additional moving parts. So, the basics, will be familiar to any 2-stroke technician.
Husqvarna is proud to support organizations and initiatives that reflect a committment to environmental protection and sustainability. For more information about Husqvarna's environmental practices or X-TORQ line of products, visit www.Husqvarna.com.
