The Toro Co., has reached an agreement with GreensPerfection to manufacture and market a line of greens brushes for superintendents who appreciate the ability to mow and groom simultaneously.
The brushes, developed by superintendent Rod Lingle, CGCS, will be compatible with Toros Greensmaster line of walk mowers and riding greens mowers..
The brushes work with the rotating design, which Toro says causes less damage to the turf and provides more lift to the grass blades than traditional groomers. This results in healthier greens and superior putting surfaces. In addition to lifting leaf blades to a vertical position for a superior cut, it also throws sand and debris to the front of the mower instead of into the reel to help maintain reel sharpness. The brushes leave a dramatic striping pattern for enhanced aesthetics.
"The new GreensPerfection brushes are an excellent addition to our greensmower line," said Helmut Ullrich, senior marketing manager for Toro greensmowers. "It's all about playability for our customers, and the GreensPerfection brushes offer a new management tool for superintendents."
"Partnering with Toro just makes sense," adds Lingle. "Our brushes have been used with great success on greens, tees, fairways and approaches. Now, with Toro's manufacturing expertise and market reach, they will be available to many more golf courses that could benefit from the technology."
GreensPerfection rotating brushes are currently available on all Toro Greensmaster mowers. Customers can choose different stiffness levels for use with cool-season and warm-season grasses to achieve the desired results on southern or northern grasses.
