DR Power continues to grow its XD Series with the introduction of the XD20 commercial‑grade rototiller and the debut of the XD17 commercial‑grade stump grinder.
XD20 Commercial Rototiller- The XD20 Commercial Rototiller is a powerful machine perfect for avid gardeners, professional landscapers and rental equipment businesses. Powered by a 270cc commercial-grade Honda engine, the XD20 delivers 14.4 ft-lbs. of torque to 14 solid steel bolo tines. The XD20 features simultaneous dual rotation, turning the tines forward and backward at 240 RPM, to tear deep into compacted soil and easily bust sod. Quick-Adjust handlebars allow offset operation, keeping the operator away from the 20-inch-wide path of freshly tilled earth, while the dual-element cyclone air filter keeps dust and debris out of the engine for optimum performance.
XD17 Commercial Stump Grinder- The commercial-grade XD17 Stump Grinder sets a new standard for high-performance property maintenance. Featuring a commercial-grade Honda engine that delivers 19.5 ft-lbs. of torque directly to the 17-inch solid steel grinding wheel to eliminate the toughest stumps with ease. The smooth pivoting head swivels up to 16.5 degrees left to right as the six, 900 Series Greenteeth® removes up to an inch of material with each pass. As the machine pivots, the rubber deflector sweeps the removed material to the side, keeping the work area clear. Additional features include dual disc brakes, easy-access tie-down points for safe transport, an on-board adjustment tool, spare tooth storage, and an easy-to-use centralized control panel that puts everything at your fingertips.
"This expansion of our XD Series highlights our commitment to engineering commercial equipment that provides power, durability, and ease of use," says Brandon DeCoff, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Chore Products at Generac. "From the XD20 Rototiller, with its simultaneous dual rotating tines that dig deep and thoroughly break up soil, to the XD17 Stump Grinder, built tough enough to turn any stump to dust while remaining easy to operate for hours at a time, the XD Series is designed to help professionals and homeowners work faster, easier, and more efficiently across demanding applications."
Both the XD20 Rototiller and XD17 Stump Grinder are covered by a 2-year commercial machine warranty and a 3-year commercial engine warranty and are currently available for purchase.
