Outdoor Power Equipment
Explore the growing demand for Outdoor Power Equipment or OPE. It includes the amazing spread of machines being used not only by broad acre farmers buy by urbanites and the increasing number of part-time farmers and small-acreage owners. Students will see practically every imaginable piece of landscape machinery, including highly versatile compact tractors and utility vehicles, chainsaws, mowers, blowers, trimmers, trenchers, cultivators and turf harvesters, to name a few. This amazing array of tools is shown going full power, tackling the complex demands of today's landscapes, parks, small farms, forests, sports fields, golf courses and open spaces. 20 minutes

Safety, Cost and the Operator
The final program in this series presents practical safety information along with the relevant concerns of machine owners and operators. It integrates safety with important issues such as economics, comfort, recreation, convenience, profits and sustainability. Students sill gain an overview of the issues relating to machine costs, productivity and safety on the farm and in the landscape. This program highlights the costs to society of machine-related injuries from rollovers, thrown objects and other hazards, and how these are reduced by Roll-Over-Protection-Structure (ROPS) cabs, and by design improvements to all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), chainsaws, lawn mowers, etc. This program also shows safety and cost aspects from the perspectives of owners, employees, manufacturers, public, and governmental agencies responsible for safety and environmental concerns. 20 minutes
