Power through autumn maintenance with Toro and AgriMetal

/in , /by

Power through autumn maintenance with Toro and AgriMetal: Autumn is a time of transformation for golf courses, sports grounds and other green spaces, but the season brings its own set of challenges. The good news? Reesink Turfcare has a host of innovative solutions from Toro and AgriMetal that will transform your autumn renovation routine, making leaf and debris clearance remarkably fast and easy.

The right tools for the job

Clearing fallen leaves and debris during this busy period is more than a matter of keeping the grounds looking tidy.

According to Jon Cole, Divisional Business Manager at Reesink Turfcare, “Autumn is all about preparing the surface so it can get through the winter without too much damage and be ready to go in the spring. Removing fallen leaves from golf courses, sports grounds or other green spaces is a critical job that goes beyond aesthetic concerns. Indeed, left unchecked, this kind of buildup can smother even healthy, resilient turf in a matter of weeks.”

To avoid this outcome — and the risk of moss growth and disease — turfcare professionals must clear excess leaves at least once a week, but the handheld solutions traditionally used can be extremely time-consuming. However, with the right equipment, this daunting task becomes significantly easier, allowing your teams to focus on the finer details of course maintenance.

Toro and AgriMetal: The perfect partners for autumn renovations

Leader in the turfcare industry Reesink knows what it takes to tackle these autumn jobs effectively, simplifying and streamlining the process. That’s why the distributor offers the best solutions for leaf clearance available on the market, engineered by renowned brands Toro and AgriMetal. These machines are designed to meet, and exceed, the demands of today’s turfcare professionals, ensuring that your green spaces remain in top condition throughout the autumn and winter months.

Toro ProLine H800: Efficiency redefined

The Toro ProLine H800 stands out as a top choice for those looking to streamline their autumn renovations. This direct collect rotary mower is engineered for efficiency. Its Smart AirFlow system ensures that leaves and debris are vacuumed up quickly into an 810-litre hopper, allowing for longer collection times without the need for frequent emptying.

With a 41-litre fuel tank, the ProLine H800 provides the freedom needed to complete a full day’s work without interruption. As Jon notes, “The ProLine H800 is all about maximising productivity. It’s a machine that allows groundskeepers to focus on getting the job done.”

Toro Pro Force: Power meets precision

When it comes to clearing grass clippings and other debris from fairways, clubhouse grounds, or paved areas, the Toro Pro Force is your go-to machine. Towed by a Toro Workman MD Series or a similar utility vehicle, this turbine-style debris blower is both powerful and precise. Operated by wireless control, the Pro Force generates a strong airflow capable of shifting even the wettest, heaviest leaves in no time. This machine is all about delivering results quickly, allowing you to maintain large areas with minimal effort.

AgriMetal: Quietly versatile

For those seeking a tractor-mounted solution, AgriMetal offers some of the most powerful and quiet options available. The B35 and B50 blower models are perfect for tractors with 35hp and 50hp at the PTO, respectively. These machines are equipped with an impeller that increases airflow by 25 percent compared to similar models, making them some of the most efficient on the market. And because they require less energy at full throttle, they’re as economical as they are powerful.

AgriMetal’s collectors include the Multi Vac – pulled and powered by any 50hp+ tractor – and the Tuff Vac 4000, coming in two variants: PTO driven for use with a 35hp+ tractor or with its own 27hp engine. Both deliver a simple but effective proposition with a large exhaust area for more powerful vacuuming and less clogging, turf-sensitive design and a lightweight aluminium impeller for welcomed quieter use.

Preparing for autumn with Reesink Turfcare

As the unpredictable autumn season approaches, equipping your team with the right tools is essential for maintaining uptime in an industry that never stops. With Toro and AgriMetal’s advanced solutions, you can be confident that your grounds will be well-prepared for whatever the season throws at them.

Jon adds, “The key to successful autumn renovations is having the right equipment. With the machines we distribute at Reesink, there’s no reason why leaf and debris clearance shouldn’t be straightforward.”

Agrimetal blows Peebles away

/in , /by

Agrimetal blows Peebles away: For Peebles Golf Club, a Harry Colt design course in the Scottish borders, maintaining a clean appearance is the utmost priority, but it’s not always an easy task being a parkland course. That is, until the AgriMetal leaf blower arrived on the scene.

Steven Borthwick, head greenkeeper at Peebles Golf Club for the past ten years, says: “Course presentation is a big thing for us, as a parkland course we get strong growth and have a lot of trees, more so than a links course. We bought the blower to disperse grass clippings when cutting semi-rough areas and get rid of the leaves come Autumn.”

Previously relying on manual backpack blowers, clearing the course of debris was tying up two greenstaff for an entire day. With the Agrimetal B50 Blower from distributor Reesink Scotland, Steven’s team can do the same job in just a fraction of the time.

Steven says: “We have a 50hp tractor and adding the B50 blower means we can go round and blow areas we’re cutting, even if we’re cutting in damp weather. It’s got a great wind speed and has sped up the process so much, we can then go out and get on with other tasks that need doing. It’s made the job so much more efficient.”

It’s the large diameter aluminium impeller on the B50 that gives it the high wind velocity that is able to maximise performance, and the large roller on which it rides allows it to complete work in even the toughest of conditions ­- all without leaving a mark.

But the speed at which the blower can clear debris isn’t the only thing that has impressed Steven. “It’s a low decibel machine as well. A lot of blowers can be really noisy which isn’t ideal on a golf course, but this one is not nearly as loud as other makes we’ve used,” he says.

Quick and easy is the resounding takeaway from the club’s new machine, something that starts with Reesink according to Steven. “It only took a couple of weeks from when we ordered the machine for it to be delivered. We have mostly Toro equipment at the club so we’ve used Reesink before and know Neil MacKenzie well. They provide good backup and Reesink is an all-round good company to deal with.”

Steven finishes by saying: “It’s important that we keep on top of maintenance to ensure the best course appearance and that process is made that much easier with AgriMetal in our artillery. We’re getting a lot of compliments about the condition of the course.”

Agrimetal debuts at SALTEX

/in , /by

Agrimetal debuts at SALTEX: AgriMetal makes its debut at SALTEX 2021. The range of debris blowers and collectors will be represented by the tractor-mounted BW3500 blower, alongside TYM tractors, on stand M080.

The BW3500 attachment, for tractors with more than 35hp at the PTO, completes debris management tasks effectively and with little noise disturbance.

Steven Haynes, tractor sales manager at Reesink, says: “As the leaves start to fall, maintenance work increases significantly, and this is work that can be made easy with the three low decibel three-point linkage mounted leaf and debris blower from AgriMetal.

“Having an impellor made of aluminium requires less energy at full throttle, delivering a quieter, smoother and vibration-free operation whilst also increasing airflow CFM by around 25 percent compared to other products on the market. This will have sure-fire appeal to golf courses and urban sports ground, for example, where it is important to keep noise pollution to a minimum.”

Steven continues: “The lightweight construction reduces the sudden loading on the driveline and helps reduce belt wear as the PTO is engaged. The large roller on which the blower rides lets you work in the worst conditions without marking or compacting the turf, particularly useful for sports surfaces, especially on turns. In fact, in contrast to the competition, the roller will often smooth out imperfections on the turf.”

This low decibel series of tractor-drawn blowers has been designed for maximum productivity and minimum maintenance and the option to fit caster wheels, which allows the machine to switch to hard surface application, makes them a good option for public schools, colleges, universities and large estates for driveway clearing too.

Steven concludes: “The BW3500 is efficient and reliable in a range of settings and the high cubic feet per minute output means it’s really productive, making light work of what can be a laborious task.”

To find out more about the AgriMetal range, which also includes high-capacity collectors, visit stand M080 at SALTEX, where customers can see the BW3500 with the T395 tractor to demonstrate the perfect partnership for easy autumn/winter maintenance.
