Global market leader in outdoor
solutions, Husqvarna, has introduced a new robotic mower fairway kit designed
to be used on golf fairways and other sports turf applications.
The new kit lowers the cutting
height of Husqvarna Automower to a minimum of approximately 10mm whilst
also providing new cutting height steps of 12.5mm, 15mm and 17.5mm. The
standard cutting height on all Husqvarna Automower models excluding the
AWD models is 20mm.
The kit ensures that the lower
cutting heights required on areas such as fairways can be achieved using a
Husqvarna robotic mower. The combination of Husqvarna Automower and the new kit allows areas such as fairways to be
maintained at a constant length throughout the year, creating consistency in
the playing conditions experienced by golfers. The ultra-silent mowers are also
extremely unobtrusive, ensuring that players are not disturbed and also allow
night time operation.
The use of robotic mowers on
large and labour intensive areas of grass which require regular maintenance
also allows the redeployment of grounds staff on to more skilled tasks. The
robotic mowers are designed to cut little and often, recycling the micro-clippings
back into the soil improving grass quality whilst maintaining a consistent
grass length throughout the growing season.
Worcestershire Golf Club are amongst a
growing number of golf courses utilising Husqvarna Automower as part of course maintenance. Steve Lloyd, Course
Manager commented "It’s great because it means we can keep a consistent
cut throughout the week. It also saves us time on a large area, allowing the
team to focus on hard to reach and trickier areas. One of the best things is
how the micro-clippings fertilise the grass. The quality of the grass has
improved massively in a very short space of time".
The kits are designed to be used
on the following Automower models : 420, 430X, 450X, 520 and 550.
