Humidity/temperature data loggers
The new series of USB Humidity/Temperature Data Loggers (HT10/20/50) from General Tools & Instruments makes long-term, unattended monitoring of a myriad of environments easier and less costly. Each unit in General’s HT Series enables users to keep an eye on temperature and humidity levels in virtually any setting. Although not much bigger than a thumb drive, each unit can record up to 16,000 data points (up to 8,000 pairs of ambient temperature and relative humidity [RH] readings) over a period of days, weeks or months, and the captured and stored data can be uploaded to a PC by plugging the unit into a USB port. The series comprises three instruments, each with different attributes and value price points. The USB interface means there’s no need for cables, cradles or docks to connect to a computer, and all data logs and calculations can be viewed as tables or graphs, or exported with one click to Microsoft Excel or Word.

Excavator attachment
Bobcat has introduced a new extendable arm option for the M-Series E55 compact excavator. The extendable arm is a telescoping arm that provides both power and reach. The new extendable arm option provides an additional 30 inches of reach, when fully extended. The new option is also the first extendable arm for compact excavators in this size class that allows the use of the hydraulic clamp and Hydraulic X-Change attachment mounting system. The new extendable arm option also allows for the use of a hydraulic clamp, something not possible with any compact excavator extendable arm on the market. READER SERVICE #56
Cleaner
Wet & Forget, an environmentally gentle, scrub-free exterior stain remover is non-caustic, non-acidic and bleach-free. Wet & Forget safely and gently removes moss, mold, mildew and algae stains on any exterior surface. There’s no scrubbing, no rinsing, no power washing. This biodegradable formula cleans every type of outdoor surface imaginable. Most moss, mold, mildew and algae removal products are either highly acidic (pH 1) or highly caustic (pH 12), which can damage the surface being cleaned. With a pH level that is close to neutral (pH 8), Wet & Forget is gentle and safe enough to apply to any outdoor surface. READER SERVICE #57
Fogger
The Dramm TracFog is a PTO (power take off) driven fogger that quickly fills large areas with plant protectants, evenly treating all surfaces. The Dramm TracFog rapidly applies all formulations of chemicals as a fog, treating great distances.

The TracFOG mounts to a tractor using a 3-point hitch. The TracFog can treat an acre of greenhouse in less than 15 minutes. Dual articulating nozzles can be positioned in any direction for optimal fogging and can be adjusted from the tractor seat. READER SERVICE #58
