INNOVATIONS
Mean Green Vanquish Autonomous stand-on
Mean Green expanded its commercial-grade electric mower lineup with its all-new Vanquish Autonomous commercial-electric stand-on autonomous mower. The manufacturer, owned by Generac Power Systems, said the Vanquish delivers up to eight hours of all-electric runtime with a 60-inch mulching rear discharge deck.
Now available for order at Mean Green dealers nationwide, Vanquish Autonomous features Greenzie selfdriving technology for real-world commercial demands. With camera-based obstacle detection, live performance tracking, and a call-back feature to return the mower to its starting position, it’ s designed to be a smart, safe, and productive machine for a commercial mowing fleet. Users can also indicate keep-out zones to mark areas where the mower should not go.
“ With advanced self-driving capabilities and the ability to automatically repeat saved routes, it redefines what productivity looks like,” said Brandon DeCoff, vice president of sales and marketing at Generac Chore.“ We’ re proud to lead the charge in commercial electric mowing with the industry’ s first stand-on autonomous solution.”
The Vanquish Autonomous boasts an available 22kWh battery, which can mow continuously for up to eight hours. It also has the flexibility to switch between autonomous and manual operation. The Vanquish Autonomous is capable of speeds up to 11.5 mph, and the patented Heavy-duty Impulse Drive System provides performance and reliability.
The new Vanquish Autonomous mower retails for $ 65,000. Mean Green supports the Vanquish Autonomous with a 5-year limited battery warranty and 5-year limited mower warranty.
Envu Tarvecta fungicide
Envu expanded its portfolio to include Tarvecta fungicide, a tool to prevent soilborne disease such as fairy ring, summer patch and other diseases caused by summer stress. Tarvecta is approved for use on athletic fields, golf courses, sod farms and commercial lawns.
Tarvecta works on multiple difficult diseases as a combination of two powerful active ingredients, fluoxastrobin and flutriafol. Fluoxastrobin is taken up by the plant quicker than other strobilurins, while flutriafol moves up the xylem to internally control new fungal growth and form a protective barrier. The result— Tarvecta is a fast-acting disease-control solution for stressed and weakened turf.
“ Diseases can establish quickly when turfgrass is stressed during peak playing times,” said James Hempfling, Ph. D. Green Solutions Team, Envu.“ Whether managing a sports field or a golf course, disease damage disrupts turfgrass playability. That’ s why preventive practices are crucial. Tarvecta can be applied proactively ahead of stressful periods to protect against infection or curatively to ensure rapid recovery.”
