ECHO’s Bed Redefiner Proves It’s a Turf and Cost Cutter

Chicago, IL (1/25/2010) - ECHO’s revolutionary BRD-280 Bed Redefiner is entering its second season of use and it has already proven to be an effective turf cutter as well as a cost saver in terms of time, dollars and crew productivity. Unique in the marketplace, the BRD-280 won the 2008 Dealers Choice Award - handheld category - recognizing innovation and new technology at the GIE+EXPO in Louisville, KY.
The BRD-280 cuts cost right out of the trailer and makes crews more efficient, allowing them to finish quicker and get onto the next job. “We ran four BRD’s this summer and, instead of doing the work with a spade edge, they resulted in a 15% cost savings equivalent to almost seven personnel. This is a tool the industry definitely needed”, states Patrick Palmer of Palmers Property Maintenance in Northern Virginia.
Based on a handheld design, the revolutionary BRD-280 allows landscapers to perform routine flowerbed and garden edge maintenance without the “bulk” of wheeled machines or the time consuming, hard work associated with the use of shovels. It’s also significantly less expensive and easier to use than a wheeled unit. The unique 6-fingered blade with carbide tips creates the crisp beveled groove and is powered by a 28.1cc Power Boost Vortex™ engine.
The BRD-280 is available through ECHO dealers in time for spring season. To view the product in action and see usage tips, visit www.echo-usa.com/brd
