Quicker-Cleaner-Upper
NMD80 is a detergent-based, chlorinated glutaraldehyde solution designed for the express purpose of safe, but effective, cleanup of new masonry structures. The result is a buffered reactive soap. The detergent boost to the product enables you to use fewer applications than normal and work comfortably around other people, as there is little to no odor or sting with the product. NMD80 is also milder to your equipment because it is less corrosive in nature. Used as indicated, there should be no significant impact on the plants or soils at the job site. NMD80 is safe for virtually any type of brick, block or stone but a test patch should be used to determine dilutions and appropriateness. NMD80 will solve a host of problems including efflorescence, lime putty and clay stains. For more information, call (800) 313-8505 or visit EaCo Chem's website at www.eacochem.com.

Compact Excavator
Kubota Tractor Corporation introduces its first zero tail swing compact excavator for sale in the United States, the U35. There is absolutely no cab or engine overhang beyond the width of the tracks. The operator no longer has to worry about damage to the excavator of the jobsite structures, even in tight spaces. The U35 model maintains the stability of conventional tail swing machines by means of a compact track width combined with a specially designed counterweight that makes for superb weight distribution. The U35 also has an independent boom swing, 360 degree house rotation, and is able to work right up against a wall or fence.
