At Kenney Machinery, we’re thrilled about these advancements. They’re designed to help you work smarter, not harder, no matter what kind of space you manage.

Ready to discover the latest and greatest in grounds maintenance? We’ve handpicked some amazing tools that could completely change how you work. Let’s explore what’s ahead.

Mowers and Trimmers

Mowing and trimming might be everyday tasks, but they don’t have to be tedious. The latest mowers and trimmers are packed with new tech, so you can always get that perfect cut, even on tricky terrain. Here’s what’s new.

Robotic Mowers

Robotic mowers are changing the game for lawn care businesses. These smart machines take care of mowing by themselves, which means you can focus on other important tasks or even add more clients. They easily navigate through complex lawns, dodge obstacles, and stick to the boundaries you set. Plus, they’re quiet and electric, so they don’t disturb the peace or harm the environment.

Zero-Turn Mowers

Zero-turn mowers from Toro and other leading brands are the ultimate in maneuverability and speed. Their ability to turn on a dime allows you to easily navigate tight spaces and obstacles, saving you time and effort. Plus, their powerful engines and wide cutting decks make quick work of even large areas. You can even turn them into wide-area mowers with wider cutting decks or add aerators for turf work, giving you more options for various tasks.

Mulching and Electric Options

Mowers with mulching capabilities are the next big thing in sustainability. These smart machines chop grass into tiny bits and spread them right back on the lawn, acting like a free fertilizer. The result is healthier turf with less work. In fact, with this type of machine by your side, you can say goodbye to bagging clippings and hauling them away.

For those looking to take sustainability even further, electric mowers are making waves in the industry. These battery-powered tools run quietly and produce zero emissions, perfect for noise-sensitive areas or environmentally conscious clients. Thanks to advances in battery tech, today’s electric mowers pack enough power and runtime to handle serious jobs.

Efficient Trimmers

To get those crisp edges around those driveways, sidewalks, or flower beds, you’ll need a good trimmer. Trimmers are also fantastic for removing weeds in tough spots like along fences or under bushes. And if you hate being tied down by a cord, go for a cordless model. They offer the freedom to move around as needed, which is especially handy for larger properties or spots far from an outlet.

Blowers and Sweepers

Clearing away leaves, debris, and even light snow can be a time-consuming chore. But with today’s high-performance blowers and sweepers, you can make cleanup quick and efficient. These powerful machines are packed with innovative features to help you tackle any mess, big or small. Let’s take a look at what’s new.

High-Performance Blowers

When it comes to quick cleanups, high-performance blowers are a groundskeeper’s best friend. They quickly blow away leaves, debris, and even light snow on walkways and driveways. Many come with handy attachments like nozzles to direct the airflow where you need it. For the ultimate in convenience, check out the cordless options that allow you to work without being tethered to a power outlet.

Self-Propelled Sweepers

Self-propelled sweepers are the workhorses of the cleanup world. They tackle large areas and tough messes effortlessly, making them ideal for parking lots, sports fields, and commercial properties. These machines are built to handle it all—wet leaves, heavy debris, and even small rocks—leaving every surface spotless in no time flat.

Innovative Features for Debris Management

Many blowers and sweepers have innovative features that make debris management even more efficient. Vacuum attachments allow you to suck up debris rather than just blow it away. Advanced filtration systems help capture fine particles like dust and pollen. Some blowers and sweepers even offer variable speed controls, letting you adjust the power to match the task.  

Utility Vehicles and Attachments

Utility vehicles, or UTVs, are the go-to tool for any groundskeeper. These vehicles are built to handle multiple tasks, from moving equipment and materials to transporting crew members around your property. Plus, UTVs, like Toro’s Workman line, can be customized with attachments like cargo boxes, dump beds, and winches to fit your specific needs.

UTVs truly shine when you add attachments. In the winter, attach a snowplow to clear driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots. A spreader can help you distribute salt, sand, or de-icing materials to prevent slippery conditions. In the warmer months, an aerator attachment can help you improve soil health and promote lush, green growth.

UTV technology is getting smarter, too. The latest models include hybrid and electric options that offer better fuel efficiency and produce fewer emissions. Some UTVs even have self-driving features to improve safety and get more done with less effort. Plus, with tools like GPS navigation, remote monitoring, and telematics, you can stay connected and in control of your UTV fleet.

Irrigation Systems

Smart irrigation systems take the guesswork out of watering your grounds. They create the perfect watering plan by considering weather conditions, soil moisture, and plant needs. You can even control these systems from your phone, checking on things no matter where you are.

Investing in smart irrigation brings many perks:

• Conserve Water: Smart systems use just the right amount of water, cutting waste and helping meet water conservation goals.
• Improves Plant Health: Less overwatering means fertilizers and nutrients stay put, saving you money and keeping your plants healthier.
• Reduces Maintenance: With less overwatering, you’ll deal with fewer issues like fungal growth, weeds, and erosion.
• Saves Time: Automated systems mean less time manually watering or adjusting sprinklers, freeing you up for other tasks.

Smart irrigation isn’t just about when to water but also how to water. There are low-flow nozzles that use less water but still cover all your plants. Drip systems put water right at the roots, so less is wasted. And with smart valves, you can control water to different areas or even single plants. All these tools help you water your grounds just right, keeping everything healthy while using less water overall.
