Ariens

Ariens offers the Power Brush 36 as part of its line of snow products. The 36-inch-wide brush head is designed for fast clearing work, and the height adjustment system accommodates various surfaces and optimizes brush wear. The brush head also rotates 40 degrees and has an operator-controlled pivot lock, allowing it to clear snow and ice off of uneven surfaces where shovels and snow throwers miss. Powered by a 265-cc all-season Subaru engine, the Power Brush features electric start and an automatic traction-control system powers the all-wheel drive train. The Power Brush 36 is an all-season machine that can be used for dethatching lawns and clearing snow, sand, dirt, grass clippings and other debris.

Vermeer Corp.

The Vermeer SC602 stump cutter is designed for tree-care contractors to make short work of major stump-removal projects.
