E-Z Trench SG-65 Woodchuck Stump Grinder

A Honda GX200 6.5-hp engine coupled with a transmission that is in oil provides ample power and protection for the Woodchuck.

RedMax EXZ2401S-BC Extreme Machine
A 23.6cc Strato-Charged engine drives this Extreme Machine, a commercial trimmer/brushcutter equipped with RedMax's durable PT104 Plus head. The Strato-Charged engine meets emissions compliance by introducing fresh air into the engine between the exhaust gases and the fresh charge of air/fuel mix. This pure two-cycle engine has fewer moving parts, requires no valve maintenance and uses less fuel than traditional two-cycle engines. The EXZ2401 has a split-shaft and both the upper and lower driveshafts are made of solid steel. This allows the trimmer/brushcutter to be interchanged with RedMax pole saw, edger and long-reach hedge trimmer attachments.
