Cub Cadet’s new Li-Ion handheld landscaping products are powered by a 20-volt battery that provides three times the number of lifecycle charges and less self-discharge compared with a NiCad battery. The ST59L String Trimmer has a straight shaft that easily reaches under shrubs and trees, a 12-in. cutting swath, an auto-release on the .080-in. line and more. The HB59L Blower is balanced and light and has a two-speed switch for adjusting the air speed up to 100 mph and volume up to 135 CRM. The HT59L Hedge Trimmer features a 22-in. precision-sharpened-steel dual-action blade that offers extended reach and even cutting, and the three-sided comfort handle provides a large gripping area for comfort and control.

“The hedge trimmer was very sharp, and the lightweight string trimmer was very easy to handle. I was able to finish my hedge trimming, edging, and cleanup with the blower on one battery charge.”
“The power and exceptional battery life of the Cub Cadet Lith-ION products handled all my yard chores, without having the inconvenience of 100-ft. extension cords. The battery status indicator was an unexpected bonus that proved useful.”
