Turfco releases new tractor-mounted Torrent 2 PTO Blower

MINNEAPOLIS – The Turfco Torrent 2 PTO Debris Blower is designed to save contractors and sports turf managers valuable time.

By substituting on-board engine power with tractor-mounted PTO hydraulic power, the Torrent 2 PTO Blower weighs in at under 340 pounds.

“The new PTO-version of our well-received, self-powered Torrent 2 Blower features all of the power, ease of use and time-saving virtues of the original model, with great maneuverability and of course less noise and no engine maintenance requirements,” said Scott Kinkead, executive vice president of Minneapolis-based Turfco Manufacturing.

Connect the PTO version to a standard turf tractor – minimum 20 hp engine to run the blower hydraulics – and hit the turf. The supplied handheld controller enables operators to change nozzle direction fast without having to slow down and wait for the nozzle to swivel around.

Turfco’s optional patented MagnaPoint technology can preset the blower to the optimal degree angle for the job at hand, whether that’s grass clippings, leaves or aeration cores.

“When customers get to actually see the Torrent 2 in action, they almost always tell us what a game changer it is,” Kinkead said.
