Huron Tractor seeing demand for new garden products At the home and garden shows where Huron Tractor has had ex- hibits in the past few weeks, Don Boyes says one of the main areas of in- terest has been in garden products that recycle organic material. Chipper/shredding devices, and mulching attachments for lawn mowers are two of the items that are beginning to have'great appeal for the urban homeowner. While farmers do occasionally buy chipper/shredders, Boyes notes that where landfill space is at a premium, urban homeowners are be- coming very conscious of where their yard waste ends up. "The overall thing is composting," explains figyes. Whether the aim-isto mulch leaves up into quickly compostablanuestiaLor to grind lawn clippings so fine they are absorbed into the turf, or whether the gar- dener plans to turn dead branches and cuttings into wood chips for the flower beds, the end result is the same - less garbage for the landfill. Mulching lawn rrlowers do away with the bagging or ejection ports for clippings. Instead, a closed deck re -circulates grass clippings over a special blade that chops and re -chops them until they fitter into the turf. Boyes explains that Huron Tractor offers both Troy -Birt and John Deere mowers that approach the mulching issue in different ways. Both -have their advantages. The John Deere mowers can be converted back to regular bag collection, a useful feature when the grass has grown too long after a vaca- tion to be successfully mulched. "You can't let it get too long. You have to have a commitment to mulching," notes Boyes. While mulching mowers have been around for a while, chipper/ shredders are attracting a lot of attention these days. Troy-Bitt makes ma- chines in three, five, and eight horsepower to tackle most yard needs. However, a new Troy -Birt product, called the Chipper Vac is breaking new ground in the market. This machine resembles a large lawn mower, and is able to pick up dry and even wet leaves for mulching, ready for the com- poster. It also has a chute for small limbs. Boyes said the machine is so intriguing that Huron Tractor plans to put into use as a demonstrator in the next few weeks. The Chipper Vacs start at $549 and range up to $1,549 for full - power models. Chipper/Shredders start at $699 and go up from there de- pending on power and size. Mulching mowers can be as simple as four -horsepower push units, or as sophisticated as a riding tractor with attachments for nearly every kind of yard work. Huron Tractor stocks a full range of all models. The moment youard-Man LT1238H, you'll see the_y_alue.
