www.outdoorpowerequipment.com OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT APRIL 2017 31 WOOD HANDLERS (CHAIN SAWS, CHIPPERS, LOG SPLITTERS & STUMP GRINDERS) Dosko's 4-inch portable chipper Dosko's 4-inch chipper, the 13-21T-13H, is a belt-driven, gravity-fed unit powered by a Honda GX390 engine. It features a reversible, double-edge cutting knife and unique mechanical belt clutching mechanism, which allows for easy starts without the use of a centrifugal clutch. A 52-inch discharge chute and an adjustable angle deflector allow users to conveniently load chips into a truck bed or trailer with ease. With just a 32-inch width and 15-inch turf tires, it is easy to maneuver. Fold-down handles make it compact to transport and store. An optional tow kit is available for towing the unit behind a lawn tractor, ATV or UTV. Dosko/Great Northern Equipment Dosko's 337-13HC stump grinder Dosko's most popular stump grinder, the 337-13HC, features a Cyclone air filter. Powered by a Honda GX390 engine, it offers Dosko's unique side-discharge frame that pushes cuttings out and away while grinding for easier cleanup. Reliable Greenteeth may be rotated in three 120-degree increments for a fresh cutting edge in minutes. The stump grinder's heavy-duty belt requires less tension, resulting in reduced belt vibration and slipping. This also reduces excess load to the engine and cutter wheel bearings. The unit has a 32-inch width to easily fit through narrow pathways and gates, and the handlebar angle is adjustable to give the operator optimum comfort and control. A lift handle provides a strong tiedown to more securely fasten the unit for transport. An optional tow package is available. Dosko/Great Northern Equipment Echo CS-361P rear-handle arborist chain saw Echo's CS-361P arborist chain saw is designed for professionals who prefer a rear-handle configuration at a very competitive price point. The CS-361P is powered by a 35.8-cc professional-grade engine, which has 15 percent more power than Echo's CS-352 rear- handle saw. The saw is also a 1/2-pound lighter than the CS-352, weighing in at only 8.3 pounds. Based on the proven Echo CS-355T top-handle saw, the compact design is loaded with maintenance-saving, professional features. The automatic, adjustable, clutch-driven oiler reduces oil consumption. The top-mounted, tool-less-access air filter is positioned away from dust and debris. Its G-Force engine air pre-cleaner reduces air filter maintenance. Available in 14- or 16-inch bar lengths, the saw uses a premium guide bar with tall profile and multi-rivet nose. The chain itself is the premium 91PXL style, which features hardened, extended-life cutters for longer life.
