Abstract:
A bi-directional drive system for turf grooming and brushing operations includes first and second accessory attachment assemblies connected to a reel deck assembly. A first drive housing connected to the first accessory attachment assembly has a first positive engagement drive member rotatable with respect to the first drive housing. A second drive housing connected to the second accessory attachment assembly has a second positive engagement drive member rotatable with respect to the second drive housing. An attachment member is releasably connected to each of the first and second positive engagement drive members and axially rotated in either a first or an opposite second axial rotation direction. First and second fasteners individually received through one of the first or second positive engagement drive members releasably couple the attachment member to the first and second positive engagement drive members. Attachment member removal is provided by releasing only the first and second fasteners.
Abstract:
A bi-directional drive system for turf grooming and brushing operations includes a first gear rotatably connected to a reel deck assembly. A reel shaft gear is connected to a reel shaft and rotated in a first axial rotation direction. Second and third gears are rotatably connected to the reel deck assembly. A double sided cogged belt is engaged to the reel shaft gear. An attachment member defining a turf component is rotated in the first axial rotational direction by rotation of the reel shaft gear connected to the first gear by the double sided cogged belt without rotation of the second and third gears. The turf component as a turf groomer is rotated in a second axial rotational direction opposite to the first axial rotational direction by rotation of the reel shaft gear connected to the first, second and third gears by the double sided cogged belt.
