Bloomington, Minnesota, United States: After investing more than 20 years of research and development, Toro has put its GeoLink Solutions Autonomous Fairway Mower to the test.

Toro’s goal of developing the right products, at the right time, for the right purpose is evident in its new autonomous technology, which was previewed at the 2022 GCSAA Conference and Trade Show in San Diego last week.

The innovative GeoLink Solutions Autonomous Fairway Mower aims to alleviate the issues of labour shortages and budget constraints experienced by customers in the golf industry. Superintendents will be able to increase productivity and get more consistent results.

During the initial placement period in 2022, Toro will work with selected sites to test the GeoLink Solutions Autonomous Fairway Mower.

The test units will be closely monitored to better understand the operational benefits realised by golf customers, and Toro will gain valuable insight as the technology is optimised.

“As technology continues to evolve, the future of Toro’s autonomous product offerings is limitless,” said a spokesperson for Toro, an Executive Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation.

“Our initial placement activities in 2022 will help us identify applications in which today’s technology can perform to the levels expected by our customers and where further development and additional capabilities are required,” the spokesperson added
