Air fracturing Soils

The Air2G2 machine was developed to help turf managers keep their fine turf healthy and green. The machine will send inject compressed air into soils to a depth of up to 12 inches. The injected air will fracture the soils providing channels for nutrient and water to move throughout the soil as well as fresh air channels for root growth.The air exchange will also push harmful CO2 from the soil structure.

New Greens Mowers

This season we will be using the newest technology in greens mowing. The Jacobsen Eclipse Greens Mower has been on the market for several years and as with all new technology some problems existed with the design and operating system. After tweaking the design and operating system the newest model of Eclipse mowers have been very successful and well received in the turf industry. The mower has an combustion engine that runs at a very low speed to power the generator system that runs the electric components which include a computer that is set by our Equipment Manager to provide consistent reel clip rate and operating speed. This ensures that all operators get the same results when mowing. By setting a constant clip rate and speed it is possible to mow a fraction higher than our present mowers with better results.
