Turfco announced the next generation of its Torrent 2 debris blower . Now with user-friendly icons added to the Magnapoint Technology , clearing debris is even easier . This upgrade also introduces remote start and stop to provide greater control during use . The Torrent 2 removes guesswork , accelerates tasks , and can save operators hours each day .
