The Toro Company, a
global leader in turf and landscape maintenance equipment, is launching the new
ProStripe 560 striping mower.
The model is designed
with premier sports venues, municipalities, resorts and golf clubs in mind;
combining the benefits of a precise cut and clean striped finish with the
simplicity of a walk power mower.
The compact
lightweight design is ideal for striping smaller areas of turf, easily
manoeuvring into tight areas whilst offering added precision, productivity,
reliability and durability.
Key features include a
two-piece ribbed roller designed to create the perfect finish and crisp stripe,
without marking and damaging turf. It has a 3-speed transmission system to
adapt to all weather and turf conditions and users can adjust the speed from
2.9 to 5.0 km/h (1.8 to 3.1 mph). This also makes the ProStripe the fastest
mower in its class.
The ProStripe 560 is
also equipped with exclusive MatchCut technology, allowing you to quickly and
easily fine tune the cutting height. With seven half-increment (3.7mm) settings
it is the ideal tool to match cutting height to other machines or when its crucial
to achieve an accurate turf height.
As well as having
excellent precision, the ProStripe 560 increases productivity through its
80-litre high capacity grass bag and Blade Brake Clutch transmission system.
The front fins lift the grass for a clean cut and optimised airflow ensures
efficient collection of clippings while directing dust away from the operator.
Other
operator-friendly features include an ergonomic reinforced handlebar, as well
as the Blade Brake Clutch (BBC) transmission system. When the handlebar is
released, the BBC system stops the blade without stopping the engine, allowing
the operator to empty the grass bag or move from site to site without shutting
down the machine.
Built to withstand the
most demanding professional applications, the ProStripe 560 has a heavy-duty
cast aluminium deck and a commercial-grade Kawasaki engine. It’s also backed by
a Lifetime Crankshaft Warranty offering added peace of mind.
“We understand
how important it is for high-end sports venues to have that attractive striped
finish, not only for the fans in the stands but also for the TV audience
watching broadcast events,” notes Anthony Nadalin, senior marketing manager,
Toro Europe. “The ProStripe 560 provides both quality of cut and a clean
striped finish in one efficient step.”
“The collection
capabilities of the ProStripe 560 make post-game clean-up a breeze, with no
divots left on the pitch,” adds Chris Cooper, product manager at Toro. “It’s a
low-maintenance solution that’s easy to use with no additional operator
training needed. And as an added benefit, striping can help reduce soil
compaction and contribute to the health of the turf.”
An optional groomer
brush attachment to help promote a healthier turf, and a finer cut by reducing
lateral blade growth and removing surface debris is also available for this
model.
