Toro’s new Lynx Smart two-wire System is an adaptation on the already successful GDC control system controller. It provides the flexibility of a satellite controller with the cost savings of a two-wire system.
It’s a backwards and forwards
compatible add-on tool which provides back-up and operation should
connection to the central control be interrupted, so irrigation continues.
It comes with attachments to expand the capabilities of the Lynx central control system to another level. The Module makes irrigation smart - add it to a GDC system, for example, for extra precision and speed.
Toro’s new hydraulics-free Greensmaster eTriFlex with Lithium-ion battery cuts noise by 50 percent for quiet, leak-free, clean cutting has been launched in the UK by Reesink Turfcare.
The eTriFlex is a classic example of Toro responding to customer demand by creating a machine which significantly reduces noise. The big benefits to this are that it allows work to start earlier and may circumvent noise regulations. It will help avoid complaints from area residents and prevent having to delay mowing certain greens early in the morning or during the day. Plus, with greens ready earlier, it could enhance revenue by allowing earlier tee times.
Alongside the Lithium-ion battery is a proven Kawasaki twin cylinder 14hp air-cooled engine with a reduced speed of 2400rpm, shrouded in venting. It's this design that ensures perceived bystander noise level is reduced by half.
It's quiet, and with no hydraulics it delivers clean and leak-free cutting. It ticks the green credentials box with its all-electric components and brings an estimated 22 percent saving in fuel, in comparison to say the Greensmaster 3320, thanks to its efficient power supply.

EGO say they have tackled the problem of reloading line with its new ST1510E - Power+ Line Trimmer featuring Powerload technology.
The product, which won an Innovation Medal at GaLaBau in October last year and a Technology Innovation Award at Bologne’s EIMA exhibition, is described by Ego as the industry's first line trimmer tool with a fully automatic line re-loading system.
To load the ST1510E, users insert the trimmer line through the head of the tool. After a push on its activation button, the Powerload system then winds the line onto the spool in less than five seconds.
The company says the quick-adjust handle offers optimum balance and control with a 38cm cutting swathe. In addition, they say the line trimmer’s soft-start function and constant speed control ensures consistent trimming.
As with all EGO Power+ products, the ST1510E is powered by their 56v Arc Lithium battery.

John Deere's 2750 PrecisionCut and E-Cut hybrid triplex mowers offer more precise control of performance and cut quality than ever before, at lower operating costs.
Featured as an industry exclusive on the hydraulic model for the first time (and also available as standard on the hybrid unit), the frequency of clip can be programmed by altering parameters on mowing speed, reel speed and number of blades on the reel. Once programmed, the settings cannot be changed by the operator and automatically adjust with ground speed, ensuring uniformity from machine to machine.
Clean-up pass mode, another John Deere exclusive, is a preset operating mode that the operator can engage to automatically reduce mowing speed on perimeter passes to increase accuracy, with less scalping or missed strips. This setting allows the operator to focus on the task, rather than on manually feathering the speed.
Adjustable turn speed allows the course manager to control how fast the operator is able to turn, which minimises the risk of turf damage. In addition, by selecting Eco Mode, engine speed can be electronically controlled to conserve fuel. In this mode, engine RPM are automatically adjusted based on the load, which can save up to 30 per cent on fuel and reduce operating sound levels.

Meanwhile, the pedestal or wall-mounted Smart Hub enables the system to be segmented into manageable areas by strategically placing up to nine Smart Hubs over the site for simplified maintenance. This allows for in-field manual operation or troubleshooting and creates a convenient point of connection for the soil, flow and status sensors.
The Hub controls up to 1000 sprinklers. It comes with 20 percent lower installation costs and is ten times faster than other two- wire systems in reducing diagnostic test times. Plus, it’s available in either hard wire format or digitally for communication between the Lynx controller and Smart Hub to offer the possibility of further reductions in cabling costs.
