Pro General Purpose blades and redesigned 8mm and 10mm wide, 12- and 14-inch Decorative or Cable Chase Cutting blades which are now 2kgs lighter than some other blades on the market, says Cama, making them ideal to be fitted to standard handheld concrete power saws.

KUBOTA:
NEW KEY MODELS
New from Fieldays, Kubota NZ has recently released the M5001 series
Standard and Narrow tractors. These are key models in the 90-110hp sector with numerous year-round comfort features, a great power-to-weight ratio and dual- speed transmissions. A clutch button on the main gear lever makes for smooth changes on the move without the requirement to use the foot clutch pedal.
There’s plenty of power for PTO-driven implements, as well as convenient electronic speed control to keep those implements operating at optimum efficiency. For work in orchards and vineyards, the narrower M5001N models with their rounded fenders and foldable hazard lights enable you to work in tight spaces and knock off spreading, spraying, trimming and leaf-cutting tasks.
