Turf Care

PROVIDING SOLUTIONS TO THE TURF CARE INDUSTRY SINCE 1985

Grooming of the greens, lawns and roughs on the golf course or park is a growing application for hydraulic cartridge valves. Mowers use hydraulics for rotary control and lift/lower functions of the mow blade. Hard-to-reach areas are groomed by flail mowers, which rely on hydraulics for telescopic extension of the mowing blade or trimmer. Utility trucks use cartridge valves for dependable control the lift/dump functions.

CASE STUDY: HydraForce Helps Alamo Maverick™ Mowers Reach the Long and the Short of It

With application assistance from Womack and HydraForce, Alamo effectively integrated electrohydraulic control on the mower’s main manifold. “The support was great. Any time we had an issue come up, we’ve been able to get an answer quickly. We’ve not found any other companies able to provide that level of support and expertise. The application team was great. We received help even when it wasn’t HydraForce’s issue.” - Mark Hamann, ALAMO
