05.09.2011 - CubCadet is making its Mark in Europe - On the Way to being a Worldwide Brandname - Wide product range for professionals

MTD is expanding the CubCadet brand into a worldwidebrandname. In some European countries, it is already a strong partner in the professional area of motor-powered gardening tools. Others will follow. The product range starts with upright mowers, worked by hand and goes all the way up to mowing devices for municipal and landscape gardening projects. In addition, there is a wide range of other products from the chain saws to the 4x4 side by side vehicles. Innovative features for an incredible experience. The CubCadet Series 2000 works hard for those who demand more out of their equipment. An excellent example of this is the GTX 2100 S top model with its strong engine and electronic power steering. Patented synchro-steer technology ensures top quality manoeuvrability. The steering wheel controls the front wheels and also turning direction and speed of the back wheels. This ensures higher stability on slopes, better traction and even more contra!. An adjustable steering wheel and a !arge, cornfortable seat provide more control and comfort. The fully welded steel frame, cast-iron transmission, cast-iron front axle and the legendary CubCadet direct shaft drive: increase stability. With the Z-Force S 48, CubCadet is launching a zero-turn mower onto the market, which is incredibly suited to everyday use. The innovative Synchro Steer technology expands the scope of terrain enormously. The steering wheel controls the front wheels, thus controlling the rotating direction and speed of the back wheels. The term "obstacle" will disappear from the vocabulary of the owner of the new Z-Force S 48 by CubCadet. Be it a hill or impassable terrain, bank or large area, the appliance gets through it all with the powerful Kawasaki OHV two-cylinder engine, which achieves 12 KW at 2,750 revolutions. The innovative zero-turn mower has a steering wheel instead of a lever, making it considerably easier to operate. The new Synchro Steer technology ensures significantly better manoeuvrability and the steering wheel controls the front wheels, thus controlling the rotating direction and speed of the back wheels. The Big One for Rough Terrain - It is called how it looks: Tank. Nevertheless, the large zero-turn mower by CubCadet is surprising. Powered by an efficient 3-cylinder Yanmar engine, the new TANK S 60 D runs cleanly, quietly and efficiently. The direct injection engine provides continuous power, no matter what work is being carried out. However, above all: It is child's play to operate using a completely normal steering wheel. As a result, skilled exercises with two handles, as is normally the case with zero-turn mowers, are now a thing of the past. The Tank S 60 D can even manoeuvre outstandingly sideways on a slope. The standard servo support has an effort-saving effect. The Tank S 60 D permits a real zero-turn thanks to the easy-tooperate all-wheel steering. In addition, tight manoeuvres around obstacles of any kind are possible. Further information about on this subject can be obtained from MTD Products AG in 66129 Saarbrucken.

05.09.2011 - Positive Development in Europe - MTD Benefits from Global Upturn - WOLF-Garten brand is included

“2010 and the start of the 2011 season were brilliant”, as Peter Janssen summarizes the past 18 months. All the hard work has paid off after the takeover of WOLF-Garten. “We are on a very positive track!”, remarks Executive Board Chairman of MTD Products AG. However, the restructuring programme of MTD Europe is by no means complete. “From the 2012 season, we will concentrate on the brands MTD, CubCadet and WOLF-Garten”, Janssen says. At MTD’s Cleveland headquarters everyone is equally enthusiastic about the development at the European subsidiary. This is entirely in keeping with the extremely positive global development of the company as a whole. “Especially in the German-speaking world, our development is more buoyant than the industry sector,” Janssen outlines the reasons for success. Meanwhile, the WOLF-Garten brand is also making a substantial contribution to this development. “We were now able to win back market shares for the WOLF-Garten brand”, Peter Janssen characterizes the current situation and anticipates the continuation of this trend in 2012. “However, the WOLF-Garten brand is re-establishing itself mostly in the specialist trade sector”, notes Janssen. Here, the group’s trustworthy reputation and expertise are having a definite influence. In future, a total of five brands will represent MTD. CubCadet is the world premium brand. In addition, there is the pan- European brand of WOLF-Garten as well as Troy-Bilt in North America and Rover in Australia and Asia. Additionally, MTD has already been a highly successful brand for many years. Further information about on this subject can be obtained from MTD Products AG in 66129 Saarbrucken.
