Scepter Manufacturing FG4G15CC / Chainsaw Fuel and Tool Container

What they said:

The Scepter Chainsaw Fuel and Tool Container combines separate storage sections—in the front, a 1.5-gallon front fuel container, and in the back, a compartment for holding a bottle of bar chain oil, screnches, files, and other chainsaw maintenance accessories—within a single, compact unit. This reduces the need for multiple trips and minimizes the risk of forgotten or misplaced equipment, significantly improving productivity out in the field. The molded in handle on the top makes it easy to carry the Chainsaw Fuel and Tool Container wherever you need to go.

Built with Scepter’s expertise in rugged, high-performance containers, the unit is designed to withstand demanding outdoor environments. Manufactured in North America, its robust construction ensures long-term reliability for forestry professionals, landscapers, and homeowners alike, while a self-venting spout protects the environment from leaks. While it was designed with chainsaws in mind, this combination fuel and tool storage container can be used to carry all types of tools for yardwork and more. Or throw some snacks and a water bottle in the back for those hot summer days working in the yard!

What we say:

The Scepter FG4G15CC combines a 1.5-gallon fuel container with an attached rear compartment for bar chain oil, a sharpening file, a scrench, and other tools, giving field crews one compact carrier for the essentials. Its self-venting spout supports smoother pouring, while the molded top handle makes it easy to carry. This container seems particularly well-suited for tree care professionals and anyone who might need to regularly bring a few additional items with them while carrying fuel to the jobsite.

What they said:

Kubota Tractor Corporation is expanding its RTV-X Series with the introduction of the new RTV-X LONG BED model. Designed for landscape contractors and homeowners who demand both durability and versatility, the new model boasts a powerful Kubota diesel engine, VHT-X transmission, and most importantly, a robust six-foot steel cargo bed with an impressive 1,212-pound capacity. Enhanced with a redesigned, aggressive exterior and new heavy-duty multipurpose tires.

“Kubota launched the upgraded RTV-X line in 2023 with its rugged and durable chassis, Kubota diesel engine, and variable hydrostatic transmission,” said Jacob Mandoza, Kubota senior product manager, utility vehicles. “And now, the LONG BED model diversifies the line and offers operators the versatility that a six-foot bed brings. It’s the long bed that our primary customer markets have been asking for.”

The RTV-X LONG BED elevates productivity with innovative features such as ProKonvert flatbed conversion, a hydraulic dump box, and exclusive cargo bed accessories, making it the ultimate workhorse for hauling and towing.

Most importantly, this new model delivers a 6-foot steel bed that handles over a half ton of cargo.

Combined with better-than-gas power, lightweight handling, extended runtime, and advanced control features, the BTA 140 delivers a highly productive solution for professional drilling applications.

What we say:

You get 1.7 kW of output from an ALLPRO battery, and two speeds to match the needs of various terrain. A Reverse mode helps extricate the tool from roots or other obstacles. Additionally, our judges loved the integration of QuickStop to quickly brake the tool if the bit hits an obstruction. The auger weighs less than 17 pounds, and you can get an impressive 270 holes per charge using an AP 500 S battery. This should fundamentally change how you dig post holes or otherwise think about using manual solutions.

Second, it operates at just 62 dB, so you can use it in more places and with much less noise pollution. We loved the 3-speed-plus-Turbo options and even the fact that Kress gives you a more detailed 5-bar LED display for battery strength.

What we say:

Getting 1,000 CFM, 150 MPH, and 32 Newtons of blowing force out of a handheld blower along with reasonable runtime is no small feat, and Greenworks seems to have done it. They also packed all that power into an 11-pound tool. Greenworks claims a maintenance-free design rated for 1,000 hours of operation. For the commercial users this 82V tool targets, the low noise, low vibration, and zero-gas operation should be an attractive value proposition.

What they said:

The Toro® PROLINE™ AMI is a solution to the ongoing labor shortages impacting the landscaping industry. The autonomous mower, built on the popular and time-tested PROLINE walk-behind platform, acts as an extra crew. While this mower tackles wide open fields, contractors are freed up to handle higher revenue tasks like trimming, mulching, or hardscaping.

Winner – Robotic Lawn Mowers

Mammotion Technology Co., Limited LUBA 3 AWD Robot Lawn Mower

What they said:

The Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD completely redefines the robotic lawn care segment by delivering true, unsupervised autonomy, efficiency, and unmatched terrain capability. Engineered with a robust All-Wheel Drive system, the LUBA 3 AWD effortlessly conquers 80% (38.6°) slopes and navigates highly irregular layouts that would halt standard mowers. Current wire-free solutions rely on single-technology positioning (like RTK or LiDAR) that frequently fails under tree canopies, near high walls, or along property edges. LUBA 3 AWD solves this industry-wide pain point with a world-first Tri-Fusion Positioning System, seamlessly integrating 360° LiDAR, NetRTK, and AI Vision.

Traditional setups are effort-intensive. LUBA 3 AWD transforms this into a flawless, no-physical-setup experience. Via an intuitive app-based interface, users can map complex, multi-zone spaces, set up no-go zones, and establish schedules in minutes. Powered by a compliant 15Ah lithium-ion battery, it achieves an industry-leading efficiency rate of up to 500 m² per hour (0.42 acres per charge). With up to 220 minutes of zero-emission runtime per charge, a single unit can effortlessly maintain up to 7,000 square meters daily, drastically reducing labor costs and giving users their time back.

What we say:

Robotic lawnmowers are still in their infancy, but products like the Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD are solving common problems. The LUBA 3’s Tri-Fusion navigation combines 360° LiDAR, NetRTK, and dual-camera AI vision, which keeps it mowing even under trees, near walls, or in other weak-signal areas. The all-wheel drive lets it tackle up to 38° slopes, and the onboard 15Ah battery lets it operate for over 3.5 hours before it needs to head back to the dock to charge. You get easy app-based mapping, the ability to configure multiple mowing zones, and (our favorite) map editing, which keeps you from having to start over should you need to make an adjustment to your lawn.

Winner – Stand-on Mowers

Toro 72525 GrandStand® MULTI FORCE EVO 60 in.

What they said:

The Toro GrandStand® MULTI FORCE® EVO represents a high-performance update to one of the industry’s most popular and trusted commercial stand-on mower platforms. Toro prides itself on innovating to perfect the equipment contractors rely on day in and day out. Toro upgraded the platform to a 34.5 hp Kawasaki® Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) engine so that whether you are cutting dense, wet summer turf at 10 mph or clearing freezing winter slush with a plow, the machine is never underpowered for the specific job at hand.

To properly support the upgraded engine and heavy front attachments, Toro updated the EVO chassis with wider front caster tires. This engineering shift distributes the machine’s weight more evenly across the ground, significantly reducing turf stress and eliminating property gouging during sharp zero-turn maneuvers. The updated model retains the platform’s signature 7-gauge high-strength steel TURBO FORCE® cutting deck, featuring a tool-free adjustable discharge baffle to fine-tune performance on the fly as seasonal conditions shift.
Downtime is a primary pain point for landscape crews. The MULTI FORCE EVO introduces a standard, built-in service stand attachment to drastically cut routine maintenance times. The EVO’s integrated service stand allows an operator to safely tip and secure the machine right on the job site using the mower’s own hydraulic capabilities.

What we say:

Toro upgraded the already capable GrandStand Multi Force EVO 60-inch with a 34.5-hp Kawasaki EFI engine. The Multi-Force also supports over 10 different attachments, from plows to dethatchers to power brooms—and the wider front tires support them without creating an imbalance in the machine. This makes this machine well-suited (and profitable) for every season. Our judges also liked the 10 mph top mowing speed and how easily the platform folds up for walk-behind conversion.

Air-cooled, brushless electric motors feature a forced air system that drives fresh air over key components, allowing them to stay cooler and perform well in demanding outdoor operating conditions; provide powerful, high torque that maintains RPM for tackling the toughest mowing conditions; and power through thick or tall grass while maintaining a clean, even cut without bogging down or stalling. The motors also combine high-power delivery with mid-level power consumption while providing a superior cut and bag fill.

The exclusive Honda MicroCut® Twin Blade system, with two blades and four cutting edges, lifts the blades of grass before they are cut, contributing to a clean cut for every blade of grass and an overall even and healthy finish for the lawn. Honda battery-powered lawn mowers, fully supported through the company’s nationwide network of servicing dealers, offer the same durability, quality, and reliability as its gas-powered mowers with high-quality components. Honda has designed the HRC-BE battery-powered walk-behind lawn mower with components that can be repaired and replaced. While many battery-powered products must be thrown away when they stop working, the Honda common deck parts and motors are serviceable, saving money for the owner and contributing to environmental sustainability.

What we say:

With the Honda HRC-BE commercial walk-behind mower, users get the exact same hardware they’re used ot, along with the promise of Honda durability and maintenance. Honda’s most innovative feature may be the fact that you can have their mowers serviced at any of their established nationwide dealers and servicing centers. Aside from that, the mower itself is also impressive, integrating a 2.0 kW brushless motor, dual battery bays, and self-propelled electronic cruise control that can meet the demands of commercial turf work. Our judges also liked the inclusion of a Roto-Stop blade-stop system that protects the system in the event you strike an object. You also get up to 45 minutes of runtime on a single 12Ah battery, while an optional rapid charger can restore that pack in about 1.5 hours.
