ometimes when a new prod-
uct comes along, it takes a
while for people to adopt it
and then spread the good word. The Toro
Multi Pro
®
Sprayer won’t have to wait.
The new Multi Pro 1200 and 1250
sprayers are exceptional—with simple
application rate selection, precise control
and a high-performance dual-diaphragm
pump. The Multi Pro has become an
instant success. Across the board, superin-
tendents who have used the Multi Pro are
overwhelmingly positive in their response.
“It’s fantastic,” says Jim Ferrel,
Superintendent of the
36-hole Coto de
Caza Golf and
Racquet Club in
Coto de Caza,
California. “We depend on
our spray rigs a lot. Our
greens are so undulated,
you can’t keep that con-
stant speed, so this has
been a great piece of
equipment for us.”
Introduced last
year, the Multi Pro
has quickly been
making great impres-
sions on anyone who
has tried it. Frank
Vargas is the Golf
Course Superintendent
at Point Grey Golf and
Country Club in Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada. Point
Grey is a private club built in 1922, and
it demands high standards of quality and
efficiency. The Toro Multi Pro has
become their preferred sprayer.
“This is just an awesome machine
with the way it is so accurate,” Vargas
says. “We can spray our greens in two
hours now, and five hours for the fair-
ways. We had other companies show us
their equipment, but the Multi Pro won
out, hands down.”
There’s never been a spray rig like the
Multi Pro. To start with, it features Toro’s
innovative Spray Pro
®
proportional drive
spray control system. That’s a fancy way
of saying that
the spray system pump is mechanically
tied to the unit’s drive wheels. When you
slow the rig down, the spray flow rate
slows down also. Speed up, and so does
the spray. The system automatically,
instantaneously and proportionately
adjusts to all changes in ground speed,
which assures you of consistent applica-
tion rate.
No Experience Necessary
The proportional drive spray control
system in the Multi Pro changes every-
thing. By automati-
cally adjusting the
spray flow to the
speed of the unit,
not only does it
make for more
efficient appli-
cation, it reduces your
reliance on the skill of the opera-
tor. You might say the machine does the
thinking for the spray operator.
“That’s a huge thing when you have
multiple people using the machine,”
agrees Tim Haskins, the Golf Course and
Grounds Superintendent at The Strand
in Naples, Florida. “Your ground speed
doesn’t matter. You’re still going to apply
the same amount of product uniformly.
You can have your boom on and spray-
ing, but it will stop automatically if you
stop your machine. It’s perfect.”
Because the Multi Pro is so simple to
use and minimizes the risk of improper
spraying, it’s not a problem for inexperi-
