CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Professional landscapers and tree care experts demand durability, power and versatility from their power equipment products. Those attributes – plus innovative technology – are key features in the two products Husqvarna most recently added to its extensive, ever-growing 500 Series platform of high-performance professional handheld equipment.

The new products – Husqvarna 525L Professional Trimmer and Husqvarna 525HF3S Hedge Trimmer – are designed specifically to enable professionals to complete demanding jobs with optimal efficiency and effectiveness. Like other Husqvarna 500 Series products, each of these durable, powerful and versatile products features advanced X-Torq® engine technology that combines high performance with fuel economy and lower exhaust emissions; and the LowVib® anti-vibration dampener System that maximizes user comfort with a floating throttle handle.

"Tough jobs require reliable performance, and these stellar additions to the Husqvarna 500 Series are built to accommodate the needs of the professional," said Jeff Dewosky, Vice President and General Manager, Husqvarna North America. "The entire line is popular with professionals who demand versatility, durability and innovative features. Professionals can expect further additions to the 500 Series, which will extend Husqvarna's reputation for building long-lasting, high-quality products that are 'ready when you are'."

With its 500 Series, Husqvarna is committed to providing the professional landscaper and tree care expert with the optimum tools needed to complete their demanding jobs.
