Product Snapshot: Hydraulic-Powered Riding Trowel and Slipform Paver Bar Inserter
The Allen HDX 750 Hydraulic-Powered Riding Trowel is powered by a 74-hp Kubota turbo-diesel engine. It features all-hydraulic proportional joystick power steering, with independent hydraulic blade-pitch controls in each joystick. The 60-in.-dia, six-blade rotors are aligned for uniform blade and pan coverage. The working area is illuminated by six built-in lights on the front, sides and back of the trowel. Raised foot pedals, an adjustable seat and armrests allow for greater operator comfort. The riding trowel also has a built-in spray system for retardant application. The trowel can be moved on the jobsite with an optional transport wheel. Allen Engineering; 870-236-7751; www.alleneng.com

The 210G Excavator is powered by a 159-hp Interim Tier 4 John Deere PowerTech diesel engine. It features a Powerwise III hydraulic management system and three productivity modes to manage power and fuel economy. All G-Series excavators feature redesigned, more-spacious cabs, which have silicone-filled mounts to reduce noise and vibration levels. The LCD control monitor displays detailed information on the machine's performance. The excavator's cooling system features a hydraulically driven fan that runs only as needed, reducing noise and fuel consumption. John Deere Construction & Forestry Division; www.johndeere.com

Previously available only on the 5400 Series mold, the 5400 Series bar inserter is now available on 3100 and 5000 Series molds on Gomaco slipform concrete pavers. The bar inserter loads from the work bridge on the back of the paver and inserts the bar in front of the mold. When the inserter is mounted on the mold, changes to the crown profile can be made while still maintaining constant bar depth in the concrete. Guides on the side of the bar inserter keep each bar parallel to the top of the slab. The Gomaco G+ control system is used to control the process and timing of the bar insertion.

The tool features several improvements over Bosch's earlier model, with a smaller gear housing to reduce vibration and a redesigned grip. A special lever allows for accessories to be changed quickly. The optional OSC003 dust-collection kit is available for sanding applications. Bosch Power Tools; 877-267-2499; www.boschtools.com
