FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

They’re the Cat’s Meow

Commercial Grounds Care, Inc., manufacturer of BOB-CAT, Bunton, Ryan and Steiner brand lawn and turf care equipment, is please to announce two new intermediate models of zero turn ride-on mowers will be coming soon to their BOB-CAT ProCat model line.

CGC will add a 52” Side Discharge Deck model with a 19hp Kawasaki KAI engine and a 61” Side Discharge Deck model with a 26hp Briggs & Stratton ELS engine to their popular ProCat lineup. Both units will be defined as ProCat DX models and utilize the efficiency of 10cc Hydro-Gear Pumps, offer a ground speed of 8.5 mph, and, will carry a 2 year / 2000 hour or 5 year / 500 hour Dual Choice Warranty.

“Both DX models target a specific market price point and will allow our dealers to offer a commercial pump motor product at a very competitive commercial price”, stated Jeff Hallgren, director of brand and product management. “These units are targeted to the intermediate landscaping professional who is expanding their business to include larger properties. These units offer everything the landscaper needs to make their crew more productive without incurring high upfront equipment costs”, concluded Hallgren.

CGC will launch the new ProCat DX Zero-Turn Riding Mowers at this year’s GIE EXPO in Louisville, KY.  Visit their booth (#4054) to learn more and look for CGC’s outside booth at the show to give the new units a try!
