CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Landscape contractors looking for choices have a host of new options in the Husqvarna 400 Series. Two new commercial-grade trimmers and a heavy-duty edger, can clear, trim or edge multiple acres with ease. All equipped with X-Torq® Engines, professionals will benefit with up to 20 percent reduction in fuel consumption and up to 60 percent reduced emissions.
Durability, combined with features to get any job done, is at the core of the 400 Series construction. When put through rugged testing, reduced downtime is the result.
“The 400 Series is built with a solid steel driveshaft, splined on both ends, to reduce noise and improve acceleration,” said Pam Everett, business development manager, Husqvarna. “This ultimately crates a much higher load carrying capacity.”
