John Deere Golf Irrigation has introduced a new range of
sprinkler heads to its growing irrigation component range,
designed specifically for UK and Irish golf and amenity turf
applications.
“Since entering the European golf
irrigation market in early 2008, John Deere has continued to
invest in the expansion of our product offering to greenkeepers
and groundsmen,” says John Deere Limited’s product marketing
manager Henry Bredin. “This new range increases our ability to
provide competitive irrigation products and solutions to a wider
range of golf and sports turf customers, as well as to the
amenity and commercial irrigation sectors.”
The
range includes five new heads designed for more precise and
economic irrigation of small golf course tees and other
commercial sports turf areas where a shorter throw of water is
required.
These provide a wide range of flow and radius
options, and all internal components are easily accessible for
service. Two of the new heads fit 18mm (¾in) inlets and three
fit 25mm (1in) inlets, with radius coverage from 5.5 to 22.6m
and flow-rates of 1.9 to 104 litres/min depending on model. Each
head can be easily adjusted to provide full or part circle
coverage as required.
John Deere is the official golf
course equipment supplier to the PGA Tour and the Ladies
European Tour, and the only worldwide manufacturer to offer
irrigation, domestic and commercial groundscare equipment,
utility vehicles, compact tractors and finance, all under one
brand name.
