Cub Cadet Powered by CORE (Conductor-Optimized Rotary Energy) debuted at GIE+EXPO. This new line of handheld power equipment uses sophisticated CORE motor technology to deliver more torque with longer runtimes.

“With zero emissions, little noise and torque levels equal to two-cycle engines, Cub Cadet Powered by CORE brings a new level of power to power equipment like string trimmers, hedgers and blowers,” Emily Sword, Cub Cadet director of brand marketing says.

With printed circuit board technology and magnetic rotors to generate concentrated, efficient power and torque, CORE’s proprietary motor design replaces traditional electric motors. The motor generates torque on par with gas power so the toughest outdoor challenges are tackled without the fill-ups, fumes or pull-starts. By delivering high-torque performance with no dependence on battery voltage, CORE technology establishes a revolutionary standard for outdoor power.

For 2016 the Cub Cadet Powered by CORE line includes a dedicated
