New Equipment on order for 2025

 

This is the Toro ProForce blower. This piece of equipment is commonly used in golf course maintenance. It's designed to clear debris such as leaves, grass clippings, and other materials from the golf course. The ProForce blower is known for its high-velocity air stream, which allows it to efficiently clean large areas quickly while being gentle enough to not damage the turf. It's a vital tool for maintaining the aesthetics and playability of the course, ensuring that fairways, greens, and rough areas are kept clear for golfers.  We have ordered 2 of these machines and they should arrive sometime in late fall or early 2025.

 


This is Toro Triplex Greens Mower. This is a specialized piece of equipment commonly used for mowing golf course greens. It features multiple cutting units – typically three, hence the name "triplex" – which are designed to provide a smooth, consistent cut to the turf, promoting a high-quality playing surface with uniform grass height. The precision of such a mower is crucial in maintaining the delicate grass of putting greens, ensuring they are fast, true, and healthy. These mowers are appreciated for their ability to navigate the contours and undulations of greens, providing an excellent cut without causing damage or undue stress to the turf.  We currently own one of these machines and this will be our second one.  They will both be used to mow greens and tees at Kenmure.  This machine should arrive in early 2025.

  


This machine is a Toro Sidewinder mower, specifically designed for cutting and maintaining the rough areas of a golf course. The Sidewinder feature allows the cutting decks to shift left and right, enabling the mower to navigate around obstacles and contour to the terrain more effectively. This capability is particularly useful for maintaining the varied and undulating surfaces found in the less manicured, peripheral areas of the course, providing an even cut even on slopes or under tree lines. It's a vital piece of equipment for ensuring the rough is kept in optimal condition, challenging yet fair for golfers, and aesthetically pleasing on the course.  We currently have 2 of these machines and the receive an extensive amount of use.  Having an additional unit will allow us to increase the frequency we mow around the greens and tees.  This mower should arrive in early 2025.
