Multi Groomer from Heying Company The MG72 Multi Groomer sweeps and grooms natural and artificial turf, among many other functions, such as pulverizing aeration cores, de-thatching, aerating, leveling top dressings, and more. At 6 ft. wide it grooms and sweeps efficiently. Heavy duty steel construction. Built-in electric lift system with wireless remote control saves down time and labor. No tools needed to adjust. Heying Company New Toro synthetic turf groomer for Sand Pro 3040/5040 Toro is introducing the Synthetic Turf Groomer for use on the Toro®Sand Pro® 3040/5040. This attachment grooms and redistributes infill material on synthetic fields and is designed to provide adjustable down pressure from the onboard hy- draulics to help evenly distribute infill from high spots to low spots. Additional features include quick-adjust pitch, which allows operators to change the grooming aggressiveness, and a unique brush design for increased distribution of material. An op- tional spring tines kit attaches in front of the brushes to loosen synthetic turf before grooming. In addition, an optional magnet behind the groomer is available to pick up unwanted ferrous debris on the playing surface such as pins, nails and clips. The Toro Company Gravely ProVac 1060 Gravely offers the ProVac 1060 featuring a large 3.5 cubic yard hopper capacity for large leaf collection jobs. In addition, the 60-inch adjustable intake scoop allows the operator to pick up pine cones, trash, leaves and more. Debris can be re- moved from turf or cement. An optional hand vac unit provides an extra 10 feet of reach to vacuum leaves from under shrubs, along a fence line or between stadium bleachers. The unit features an 18 HP Kohler® Command Pro Engine and a 6-gallon fuel tank for less refueling stops. The self-contained ProVac can be pulled with a utility vehicle or anything with a pin- type tow bar since no PTO is needed to drive the unit. Gravely Turf Products Harper self-propelled sweeper/vacuum Equipped with a 44-hp Kubota turbo charged diesel engine and a 3.25 cubic yard hopper, the new TV30 offers maneu- verability that cannot be matched by any tow-vehicle or pull type unit. The TV30 provides the same patented Recirculating Air System performance as our towed models. This unit also offers a new level of adaptability due to a line of attachments for raking tall grass as well as a verti-cut rotor that performs two jobs in one pass. The hopper lifts to a height of six feet three inches to dump directly into a cart or waste dumpster, eliminating the need to handle the material twice.
