Autonomous and New Turf Technology

Where Toro’s latest autonomous equipment is making turf care easier and more efficient than ever. From the GeoLink® Autonomous Fairway Mower keeping fairways consistently dialed in, to the Range Pro 100 handling ball picking on its own, and the Turf Pro lineup—including the 500, 500S, and 300—taking care of large and small mowing jobs, these machines are built to save time while delivering great results. You’ll also find solutions like the Ventrac 45RC for controlled remote mowing in tougher areas, giving crews even more flexibility and safety. And with TurfRad adding quick, reliable insight into soil moisture and turf health, you have the tools to make smarter decisions every day and keep your turf looking its best.

Backed by over a century of golf expertise, Toro’s GeoLink® Solutions™ Autonomous Fairway Mower combines the trusted excellence of the TriFlex platform with advanced GeoLink autonomous technology to help golf courses do more with less. Equipped with GeoLink Mow technology, which allows for manual or autonomous operation, a user can supervise one or more units while performing other work on the golf course.

Using the corresponding app on a smartphone, tablet, or desktop, users can map the property, assign mowing patterns, view diagnostics, and track progress. Real-time text alerts notify the user of faults or required actions, ensuring operators stay informed. Toro’s fairway cutting units are engineered for exceptional results. Featuring precise 5” DBA reels with an adjustable height of cut range from 0.25” to 0.75”, they deliver smooth, consistent quality on every pass. The quick-change reel system adds flexibility, allowing users to easily switch from fairway mowing to manual mowing of greens, tees, or approaches. Combining efficiency, precision, and versatility, the GeoLink Solutions Autonomous Fairway Mower ensures pristine results with the trusted innovation only Toro can provide.

turfRad sensors measure root-zone soil moisture — without touching the turf and without transmitting any signal.

At the core of each unit is a passive L-band microwave radiometer adapted from climate science. “Passive” means the sensor does not emit radiation or send energy into the ground. It simply listens to the natural microwave energy emitted by the soil.

Because longer wavelengths penetrate deeper, turfRad can effectively measure moisture in the top 3-4 inches of the root zone, where irrigation decisions matter most.
