Tools&Equipment | Products Turf Tidy is versatile The Turf Tidy from Redexim North America is one of the most versatile machines built today. It incorporates verticutting, flail mowing, core collection and debris clean up applications into one machine. The Turf Tidy's fully floating cutting head follows the grounds' contours, ensuring accurate cutting and pick-up. The unique turbo fan makes a clean sweep of leaves, pine needles, paper, aeration cores and grass clippings. The large hop- per means less time emptying and its high lift allows greater clearance when tipping; it will easily dump into a utility vehicle or dumpster. The large turf tires mean less ground pressure even with a full hopper. Redexim North America New Toro Rake-O-Vac The Toro Rake-O-Vac has a brand-new, enhanced design featuring an airflow system that minimizes dust in a variety of applications. In the new airflow system, dust travels up through the filters and back down out the rear of the machine at ground level for a clean sweeping environment. A spring-loaded flex tip reel gently lifts wet or dry debris for a clean sweep. Powered by a 22 hp, air-cooled Kohler Command engine, the Rake-O-Vac features a large hopper capacity of 5.75 cubic yards, allowing a substantial amount of material to be collected before dumping. An optional broom reel provides additional sweeping power, especially for cleaning up bermudagrass during the scalping process or various hard surface applications. The Toro Company Wiedenmann introduces new Super 600 The new Super 600 high dump is a heavy-duty sweeper/verticutter/flail mower collection system by Wieden- mann which is similar to the Super 500; however, the Super 600 has an increased hopper capacity of approxi- mately 80%. The multi-purpose head allows for sweeping, verticutting, and flail mowing while collecting clippings into a 5.9 cubic yard hopper with a high dump reach up to 83". The airflow path ensures complete fill- ing of the container. In addition, the Super 600 can works extremely well as a core pulverizer by installing brackets on the rear door of the hopper, creating a 4" gap, which allows materials to fall back to the surface. Verticut spacing ranges from ¾", 1 ½", or 2 ¼". A big advantage is the floating head which follows contours. Also the multi-purpose head allows sweeping without changing the implements.
