For Immediate Release
(Bloomington, MN) - Toro is expanding its Tree Care Equipment line with the development of a larger STX-38 dedicated stump grinder. The prototype of the STX-38 is on display at The Rental Show, February 6 – 8, in New Orleans. This new model will incorporate a similar design that has made the STX-26 popular among rental professionals and contractors. The new STX-38 is expected to be released to the rental market in the second half of 2012.
Two years ago, Toro redefined the stump grinding market with the introduction of the STX-26 stump grinder. These units were easier to operate than other models on the market because of the Toro TX-style controls and tracks for better maneuverability and faster transfer speeds. The STX also helps reduce maintenance expense because it features a hydraulically driven head that eliminates the need to replace belts.
“The positive feedback has exceeded our expectations,” says Greg Lawrence, marketing product manager for Toro compact utility equipment. “Professionals in the rental, landscaping and arborist markets have asked us to develop a new grinder that can provide even more productivity, which is why we are developing the new STX-38 model. This unit will deliver more horsepower to make quick work of larger stumps.”
The new Toro STX-38 will join a line of Tree Care Equipment that includes the STX-26 stump grinder, SGR-6 and SGR-13 handle bar stump grinders, BC-25 brush chipper, as well as the LS-9 log splitter.
