Turfco announced the next generation of its powerful and efficient Torrent 2 Debris Blower. The blower now features operator-friendly icons added to the Magnapoint Technology, and remote start/stop functions.
“When we researched it, we found that having the wrong blower angle can reduce productivity by 30 to 50 percent,” Turfco executive vice president Scott Kinkead said. “That is why we introduced the Magnapoint Technology which allows operators to quickly select and repeat their preferred angles. Now we have taken it to the next level of productivity by adding easy-to-read icons that indicate the optimal angles for many different types of debris. It’s an incredibly simple way to be more efficient.”
Different blower angles are needed for each of the common types of debris: grass clippings, dry leaves, wet leaves and aeration cores, as well as clearing cart paths. For the first time, the Torrent 2 can tell the operator to set the blower for grass clippings or wet leaves and have confidence they will be working at maximum productivity. The Magnapoint technology’s new icons also remove language barriers.
Using the patented, handheld controller multiplies operator productivity with a new remote start/stop feature in addition to a patented idle/resume button. The start/stop feature can be utilized to quickly shut down and restart the engine to allow golfers to play through without distraction. The idle/resume button allows an operator to quickly drop to idle during transport and resume to full power on-demand.
The combination of these features minimizes noise and reduces fuel consumption while allowing the operator to continue working without requiring time-consuming manual adjustment to the blower. If the wireless control is lost or misplaced, an optional auxiliary controller is available that ensures the blower is always operational.
