New Jacobsen TurfCat out-front mower In 2014, Jacobsen will update its legendary TurfCat out-front mower. The new mower will feature a Tier IV final Kubota engine, foldable ROPS, and less maintenance thanks to new hydraulic deck drives (gone are the belt and pulley drives). The TurfCat is popular with sports field managers because it's the only mower that offers a 60" flail deck, which discharges grass and debris down into the turf, significantly reducing the danger of thrown projectiles and providing a more attractive after-cut appearance. In addition to the fine-cut flail, the TurfCat offers five other deck configurations, including 60-inch, 63-inch and 72-inch hydraulic-drive rotary decks. Other attachments include a brush, plow, snow blower and debris blower. Jacobsen Athletic field materials from Game Time Sports Systems It Ain't Just Dirt" ...

Fastest Verti-Drains yet The Redexim Verti- Drain 2220 and 2216 (also called the Bullet) are the fastest Verti-Drains yet. The Bullet gives you the ability to aerate both fast and deep, penetrating 9 inches into the soil at speeds up to 3.5 mph. With the hydraulic option on the Bullet depth adjustments can be made easily from the tractor chair by adjusting the front and rear rollers. Additionally the three point hitch on the Bullet is offset which makes the machine more efficient by reducing the chance of tracking over previous passes.
