Celebrate Earth Day With EcoSmart Solutions From Husqvarna

</p>
<p>EcoSmart solutions from Husqvarna currently include nine products and two engine technologies that power a wide range of handheld products including chain saws, trimmers and blowers.</p>
<p>
<b>
<u>Automower Solar Hybrid</u>
</b>
</p>
<p>Husqvarna’s Automower™ Solar Hybrid is a fully robotic lawn mower partly powered by the sun and uses no fuel or oil.</p>
<p>The Solar Hybrid mower is designed to handle lawns of up to a half acre. Incorporating solar and battery power, it uses considerably less energy than any conventional mower with its large integrated solar panel and is emissions-free. When there is daylight available, the solar cells enable the mower to extend its cutting periods before requiring a recharge. Lower power consumption and an extended battery life enable a faster, more environmentally improved cut.</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>Automower™ Solar Hybrid mower is programmable to and charges itself when required by returning to its base. The 22-pound mower cuts every day, day or night, rain or shine and has a 4-digit pin code lock feature.</p>
<p>

<u>Automower™ 230ACX, 220AC, 210C</u>
</b>
</p>
<p>Husqvarna’s newest fully automatic, battery-powered lawn mowers take the manual work out of an often tedious chore.  Three models, the 230ACX, 220AC and the 210C, offer options for the homeowner looking for a “green” way to mow.</p>
<p>Automower™ functions in the same capacity as the Automower Solar Hybrid, however it operates on battery alone.</p>
