Automatic top-ﬁll soap dispensers

Bobrick has introduced two new chrome-ﬁnish, automatic, top-ﬁll soap dispensers for open-market, non-proprietary bulk
liquid and bulk foam soap. Top ﬁlling eliminates under-counter
servicing cost and inconvenience while bulk soap reduces soap
costs by 80 percent, compared to proprietary cartridges at lockedin prices. Bobrick products feature a unique activation system,
which deﬁnes a precise " dispense zone, " eliminating hand waving
and false dispensing. Portion control adjustment from .4 ml to 3 ml
lowers soap usage, and post-consumer waste is reduced by 57 percent over cartridges. BOBRICK WASHROOM EQUIPMENT, 818.982.9600,

Microbial inputs for increased turf/sod quality

TerraMax, a developer and distributer of natural microbial sod
and turf products, uses bacterial Azospirillum to reduce chemical
inputs and establish stronger root systems and hardier turf. Azospirillum works as a nitrogen " ﬁxer, " harvesting nitrogen from the
air and soil and delivering it to the plant. In both ﬁeld and university
tests, TerraMax products are proven to produce greater root mass
and increase root weight. TerraMax products have a proven track
record for improving root structure year after year-especially important in helping create hardy plants that can better resist changing weather conditions and the daily wear and tear experienced
by turf surfaces. TERRAMAX, WWW.TERRAMAXAG.COM, 952.657.5592

Extendable arms for compact excavators

Bobcat Company, a leader in compact equipment innovations,
has added more versatility to three machines with a new extendable
arm option for the M-Series E42, E45, and E55 compact excavators.
The extendable, telescoping arm provides the best of both worlds-
power and reach-and will appeal to customers working in spacerestricted areas, allowing them more ﬂexibility to clean out trenches
and to place soil further away from an excavation. The arm can be
hydraulically extended and retracted as the need arises, and with
a clamp-ready design, it provides compatibility with the clamp attachment and the Hydraulic X-Change mounting system. BOBCAT,
