New to
Reesink Turfcare’s product lineup and launching at SALTEX 2019 are two outfront rotary mowers from Toro’s next-generation GM3000 series for 2020.
Bringing
a unique balance of productivity, durability and value to the UK’s groundscare
customers, the new machines are being called the next generation of outfront
rotary mowers and have all the benefits outfront rotaries are known for, but
with significant performance enhancements.
There are
two engine models – a 24.7hp and a 37.4hp, both Stage V emissions compliant,
with options of 152cm (60ins) or 183cm (72ins) rear, side, recycling and flail
cutting decks. Both benefit from a transport speed of 22km/h to move between
sites efficiently and a large 45.4 litre fuel capacity to maximize mowing time
between refueling. Also, Toro’s CrossTrax all-wheel drive system provides
automatic traction control, shifting power to the wheels in slippery
conditions.
Toro has
focused particular attention on the durability of the deck in the design of
this new series. With 4.5mm high strength steels decks, rugged spindles, a
bullnose bumper and reinforced sideskids, the improvements made are aimed at
longevity and reduced downtime. And with rotary and flail cutting deck options
providing flexibility and value, it’s easy to see why Toro believes this to be
the next generation of the outfront rotary.
Jeff
Anguige, national sales manager for Reesink,
says: “The outfront rotary has become part of the fleet for most councils,
contractors and golf courses as an essential frontline machine and rightly so. The
new launches from Toro GM3000 series are an exciting addition, taking the
design of an outfront rotary mower to the next level.”
The new
Toro GM3000 series will be revealed on stand H010.
In
addition to this exciting launch, there will be a full line-up from Reesink and
all its turfcare machinery and equipment brands. From the Toro grounds
machinery range will be the LT-F3000 triple flail mower, the direct collect
ProLine H800 rotary, the Groundsmaster 7210 zero-turn rotary and the Pro Stripe
560 pedestrian mower with 22-inch roller.
Representing
Toro’s irrigation range will be the Lynx Central Control system and Infinity 55
sprinklers with Smart Access, TS90 and T7 sprinklers with TurfCup (a feature
for hidden infield irrigation and seamless-looking turf), Flex 55 sprinklers
and Turf Guard soil monitoring system.
For those
managing ponds and lakes and needing to optimise oxygen levels to keep water
healthy, there will be Otterbine’s best-selling Fractional
five-in-one aerator which delivers the highest
performance rate of any fractional aerator on the market. It will be joined on
stand by the Concept 3, the aerating fountain that perfectly illustrates
how industrial aerators can give the best of both worlds offering function and
beauty.
Reesink
will again have two stands with E010 being entirely dedicated to TYM’s range of
compact tractors and 1st Products, the specialist range of tractor-mounted
aeration equipment.
Reesink’s
marketing manager Rochelle Bedford, says: “There’s lots to look forward to at
this year’s SALTEX. It’s always exciting to launch new products at a show and I
predict there will be a lot of interest on the stand when the latest from Toro
is revealed. We welcome everyone to come and see the line-up, discuss their
needs and share experiences and advice with our specialist
groundscare machinery team.”
