    摘要: A striper arrangement (200) for striping a lawn (1) configured to be arranged on a robotic work tool (100). The striper arrangement (200) comprises a striper mat (10) and a holding arrangement (300) for holding the striper mat (10) in contact with a N surface of a lawn (1) and is configured such that the striper mat (10) is movable in upwards and downwards direction; and further configured to bias the striper mat (10) in downwards direction by a biasing force (BF), such that movement of the striper mat (10) in upwards direction is restricted until a counter force (CF) exerted by the striper mat (10) onto the holding arrangement (300) exceeds the biasing force (BF). The counterforce (CF) is the force exerted by the striper mat (10) onto the holding arrangement (300) when the striper mat (10) transits from a convex bent shape to a concave bent shape or vice versa. A robotic work tool 100 comprising a striper arrangement (200) for striping a lawn (1).

    摘要: This invention is directed to a turf grooming deck configured for attachment to a lawn tractor and includes a deck member positioned between front and rear wheels of the lawn tractor and having an upper platform and a plurality of downwardly depending surfaces that, together, defines an interior area. A plurality of channels is mounted to a bottom surface of the upper platform and arranged in a diamond configuration. Further, the sidewalls define channel openings by which the channels are accessed. The turf grooming deck includes first and second brush modules, each brush module including a plurality of brush members, a first module including a plurality of metal tines and the second module including a plurality of push broom type bristles. The brush modules are interchangeable by insertion or removal thereof relative to respective channels via respective channel openings.

    摘要: A method for colouring turf and a turf colouring system. The method and system comprise delivering liquid colourant at a hydraulic pressure greater than 1000 psi to sprayers having a high pressure, high impact, fine spray nozzle with a spray pattern having feathered edges for even coverage with overlapping nozzles. Alternatively, the method and system comprise delivering liquid colourant at a pneumatic pressure greater than 60 psi to sprayers having a high pressure, high impact, fine spray nozzle with a spray pattern having feathered edges for even coverage with overlapping nozzles.

    摘要: An apparatus for applying a desired amount of mechanical abrasion to plants and selective cutting of undesirable plant material. The apparatus includes a base, a brush and an elevation device for maintaining the base at desirable height. The base has a first longitudinal axis and a plurality of grooves, the grooves being oriented approximately perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis. The brush has a second longitudinal axis and a plurality of bristles and/or blades extending outwardly from the second longitudinal axis. The brush is attached to the apparatus such that the second longitudinal axis is substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis and the brush is rotatable about the second longitudinal axis. The brush is spaced from the base such that the plurality of bristles engage the plurality of grooves. The base is adjustable enabling the operator to move the base closer or further from the rotating brush/blades.

    摘要: An eco-friendly netting for growing and/or harvesting sod, plants, and/or any type of vegetation is disclosed herein. The eco-friendly netting includes a plurality of fibers arranged in a substantially non-woven configuration. Each of the plurality of fibers is formed from a substantially natural material, which may also be biodegradable. The eco-friendly netting may be preseeded. The eco-friendly netting may be treated or processed with anti-rot agents, degrading accelerators, degrading inhibitors, nutrients, fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, algaecides, herbicides, water absorption/retention enhancers or any combination thereof. Methods of growing sod and harvesting sod, which utilize the eco-friendly netting, are also disclosed herein. In one or more embodiments, the eco-friendly netting may be treated or processed to increase or decrease its functional longevity.

    摘要: An integrated aeration spreader for use with an aerator includes a mounting plate, a mounting block rigidly coupled to the mounting plate, a support arm rotatably coupled to the mounting plate, a support block rigidly coupled to the support arm, wherein the mounting block is located a first distance from the support block, a shaft rotatably coupled to the support block, wherein the shaft extends through the mounting block, a first nut threaded on the shaft, wherein the first nut is located a second distance from the support block and the second distance is less than the first distance, a first spring having a first end engaged with the first nut and a second end engaged with the mounting block, a second nut threaded on the shaft, wherein the second nut is located a third distance from the support block and the third distance is greater than the first distance, and a second spring having a first end engaged with the second nut and a second end engaged with the mounting block. The integrated aeration spreader combines a spike-type aeration and sand spreader that fills the aeration holes in a single pass of a vehicle, after having a top dresser vehicle lay sand down over the ground and grass-covered surface to be aerated.
