Abstract/Contents: | Discusses highlights of the Golf Industry Show (GIS) held on February 22, 2007 in Anaheim, California. States that "arguably the biggest news...was [John] Deere's intent to acquire LESCO" and details their 2653-B Trim and Surrounds Mower which "provides four inches more legroom by utilizing a U-shaped fuel tank that wraps around the operator's seat." States that "the buzz in the Toro booth was the new ProCore Processor, a unit designed to be pulled behind a tractor-mounted core aerator for one-pass coring and processing of pulled cores." Mentions that "all Toro diesel-powered golf course equipment...will be bio-diesel ready for the 2008 model year." Profiles the Jacobsen Eclipse 122F walk greensmower which has an independently mounted floating head "for optimum quality of cut in undulating conditions." Also profiles the National Mower i-Five hill-hugging fiveplex rotary mower and states that "the biggest design feature that distinguishes the i-Five from other five-plex rotaries is the deck configuration: two mid-mounts and three rear-mounted units." States that "wireless remote controls seemed to be the big thing...on the Buffalo Turbine blowers and the...Speed Blower from DMI to control discharge chute rotation." Suggests that "according to Mike Read, director of marketing for Club Car, the performance of the 48-volt IQ Plus electric drive system rivals that of gas powered vehicles." Also presents updates of TYCORP, Turfline, Turf Pride, TurfWorks International, and Smithco products. |
