Technology integration in these models is another key feature. Equipped with advanced control systems, the SDR series allows for real-time monitoring of performance metrics such as fuel consumption and engine load. This not only aids in optimizing operation but also provides valuable data for maintenance scheduling, ensuring the longevity of the equipment.

Additionally, both models feature durable construction using high-quality materials designed to withstand harsh working environments. Their compact size allows for maneuverability in tight spaces, making them ideal for various turf conditions, whether it’s on a sprawling field or in confined urban parks.

In conclusion, the Progressive Turf Equipment SDR65 and SDR90 combine power, efficiency, and comfort in an advanced turf maintenance solution.
