The Z2R uses zero turn technology to propel the unit forward providing a travel speed of up to 11mph from green to green, and 8.5mph whilst rolling. The Graden Flex system provides a constant positive pressure across all rollers whilst keeping a relatively low PSI on the greens. With the rollers conforming to the contours of the green, a great finish is achieved, even on surfaces where big elevation changes occur.

Being self-contained results in no lifting, hitching or positioning, eliminating a lot of the issues relating to health & safety as well as making the whole process much quicker.

STUART CANVAS is offering smaller village cricket grounds a new and innovative sight screen solution that will mean screens may now be put in very tight areas where the standard wheeled screens cannot go.

REESINK Turfcare’s GeoLink simulator is the industry’s first turf-based precision spray system in a realistic simulator.
Complete with touchscreen and steering wheel, the GeoLink simulator has by-the- nozzle application, coverage maps and area and volume data, to see the level of precision that it was designed for.
Available for use with the Toro Multi Pro 5800- D and 1750, GPS technology and a single nozzle level control means application is accurate to within 10mm. In fact, waste is virtually eliminated when using the GeoLink simulator thanks to the system’s ability to automatically turn individual nozzles on and off based on the machine’s exact location and the boundaries set. Knowing exactly where has already been sprayed means costly overlaps and missed strips are eliminated, which is better for the environment and brings big savings in chemicals, foam markers and dyes.
