Utility vehicle
American SportWorks has introduced the ASW Landmaster Crew Hybrid utility vehicle. The Landmaster Crew hybrid has two separate drive systems; a 48V electric front wheel drive and a 653cc gasoline, V-Twin Subaru, rear wheel drive. Use the gas engine for powerful rear wheel drive or when the workload or terrain demands, or use both for ultra responsive four-wheel drive. Batteries recharge while in gas drive mode for extended electric range. READER SERVICE #51

Loader tracks
Bobcat Co. introduces the new all-season non-marking, multi-bar lug rubber track, designed for the compact track loader and mini track loader. The tracks are designed to fit the T180, T190, 864, T200, T630, T650, T250, T300, T320, T770 and T870 compact track loaders, and the MT50 and MT52 mini track loaders. The multi-bar lug pitch system provides a smoother, softer ride, while the double offset tread pattern greatly reduces vibration, extending the life of the undercarriage, and helping contain the growth of any cuts or cracks. The replacement track is available in non-marking rubber and in non-marking orange for select models. Additionally, the non-marking rubber compound won't leave black rubber marks on hard surfaces such as concrete. READER SERVICE #52

Biological control

Koppert Biological Systems is offering a new soil dwelling predatory mite, Macrocheles robustulus, for thrips control. Marketed as Macro-Mite, M. robustulus is a relatively large soil-dwelling predatory mite with a large and diverse appetite. It is very effective against thrips pupae and also feeds on mosquito and fly larvae and the eggs and young caterpillars of Duponchelia. M. robustulus can establish a large population much more quickly than Hypoaspis species so it has a shorter response time to start control. READER SERVICE #54
