The future of golf course maintenance

In the world of golf courses, precision and aesthetics go hand in hand. With the introduction of the Kress RTK robotic mower, Positec is setting a new standard. The advanced technology, designed specifically for golf course maintenance, offers tremendous precision. In addition, the mower contributes to sustainability in golf course maintenance.

David Mooibroek, regional sales manager at Positec: "One of the most prominent advantages of the Kress RTK robotic mower is its environmental friendliness. Traditional gasoline-powered mowers cause significant CO2 emissions and noise pollution. The Kress RTK robotic mower, on the other hand, operates entirely electrically. This not only leads to a substantial reduction in greenhouse gases, but also ensures quieter operation. That's nice on a golf course."

In addition, the electric drive contributes to lower operating costs. No fuel means fewer expenses and less maintenance requirements. 

The Kress RTK robotic mower is equipped with Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS technology, allowing it to operate with great precision. This precision ensures even turf maintenance, which is essential to the quality of the playing surface on a golf course.

In addition to the robotic mower, Kress offers an extensive range of Commercial Garden tools, which also contribute to efficient and sustainable grounds management. The most striking aspect of these tools is the use of the Kress CyberSystem, an innovative charging system that dramatically reduces battery charging time to just eight minutes. This means that garden tools are available for use almost continuously, without long interruptions for charging.

The CyberSystem works with smart batteries that not only charge quickly, but also have a long service life. This reduces the need to replace batteries, resulting in less waste and lower costs in the long run. This aspect also aligns with Kress' sustainable vision.

The Kress RTK robotic mower and associated Commercial Garden tools with the CyberSystem represent a significant step forward in golf course maintenance. Mooibroek said, "By choosing these technologies, golf courses can not only increase their operational efficiency, but also significantly reduce their carbon footprint. At a time when sustainability and environmental awareness are becoming increasingly important, Kress offers an innovative solution that benefits both the environment and the economy. In short, the investment not only pays for itself in terms of cost savings, but also contributes to a greener and more sustainable world."
