Spray and flail with Faunamaster

July 2, 2024/in News, Press Release/by Admin

Spray and flail with Faunamaster: BOSS Off Road Vehicles has introduced two new accessories for use with ATVs and UTVs. Complementing the Danish Faunamaster compact seed drills, the Sprayer 70 and FM 130 ATV flail mower are built for the professional user demanding reliability, efficiency and economy.

The innovative Faunamaster Spray 70 is designed for use on quads and UTVs with a boom specially designed to resist damage by sliding off obstacles through a spring-loaded system. This reduces the risk of damage to both the sprayer and its surroundings. The Spray 70 boasts high-quality components and is equipped with precision spray nozzles from Lechler, Germany, for optimal performance. The three-metre spray boom is height adjustable and folds for easy transportation. There is an efficient mixing function built into the tank to ensure constant, uniform mixing of the spray liquid during use. Spray tank capacity is 70 litres and there is a 10-litre clean water tank for hand washing. The Spray 70 operates on a power supply of 12V 6.0 amp and at a pressure of 120psi/8.3 BAR. The hose reel extends to ten metres with the spray lance. The sprayer comes complete with only the major elements requiring assembly, which takes about thirty minutes.

Professional users looking for an ATV flail mower for all types of terrain will find the Faunamaster FM130 the ideal tool for their arsenal. Engineered with carefully selected components to ensure durability and optimum performance the mower has an advanced adjustability system. The cutting height is easily adjusted directly from the ATV using remote control and the tailgate can also be opened for working on dense surfaces, allowing quick removal of grass clippings. There is a choice of impactor with either a hammer or a Y impactor. Hammer flails are versatile for all-round use and Y flails are effective for grassy area and speedy mowing.

Toro supporting Royal Troon: Royal Troon Golf Club in Ayrshire, Scotland has signed an exclusive partnership deal with Reesink Turfcare and Toro machinery ahead of hosting The Open 2024 for the tenth time.

The deal has provided Billy McLachlan, who’s been at the helm of the world-famous golf course for 31 years and Course Manager for four of The Open tournaments, and his team with a range of world-class equipment, including the latest electric mowers, for the greatest golf championship in the world.

Preparations have been well underway for years; starting as the club came out of the 2016 tournament with drainage work and then the installation of a “revolutionary” new Toro irrigation system.

“To have the reassurance of an irrigation system which allows us to be proactive and reactive depending on weather conditions; targeted and effective with our water usage and to have an entirely different level of precision and control throughout the tournament will be revolutionary,” Billy says. “It will take a lot of stress away.”

Billy who has been using Toro machinery for years felt the timing was right to make the commitment with Reesink, especially in the run-up to and over the tournament. Plus, he had his eye on sustainable mowing options: “We have a focus on using electric machinery and were extremely impressed with the Toro Greensmaster eTriFlex 3370 ride-on and Greensmaster e1021 pedestrian mowers, which will be taking care of the greens.

“Having all-electric turfcare machinery is a new addition to our fleet at The Open and I’m looking forward to the huge benefits that will bring. For one, they will allow us to get out to any areas we need to without disturbing viewers or the flow of play and we know we can work all hours needed, because they are so quiet.”

Jon Cole, divisional business manager at Reesink Turfcare, comments: “For electric power to play such a key role in yet another Open tournament sends a fantastic message. Just like diesel machines, battery operated mowers can also cope with the demands of producing the quality of cut and level of work demanded by a global event.”

The club has a core fleet of Toro machines and included new versions of the Toro Reelmaster 3575 and Groundsmaster 4300 mowers for fairways and roughs respectively as well as mid and heavy-duty utility vehicles in the last delivery. There’s a Toro ProCore 648s which will be instrumental in post-event recovery work.

Billy continues: “To have the support of Reesink throughout the tournament will be vital. We will have additional models of the same machines we’ve been using coming in and extra technicians, which provides great peace of mind.”

So, what can players and viewers expect from The Open 2024? Billy says it will certainly be bigger than ever: “We have the longest hole in Open history and, just two holes after that, the shortest hole in the championship’s history – our iconic par-three eighth, also known as the ‘Postage Stamp’.

“There are nine new tees too which lengthened the overall course – I think we’re sitting just 36 yards fewer than the record at Carnoustie in 2007 – and the event has sold out, ensuring a record attendance of 250,000, an increase of more than 70,000 people from the last time we hosted it in 2016. The grandstands, catering facilities, temporary buildings, services, everything is bigger to accommodate the increase in numbers.”

With the team, the years of planning, and Reesink and Toro by its side, it’s safe to say Royal Troon Golf Club is in a good position to deliver a tournament to remember.
