One of the conversations we had today was talking about precision top-dressing and getting a better quality application but also making it more productive with a more effective program. Some of the things we walked over today was seeing the minimal amount of adjustments that are needed to be made now to get an even spread so you’re not having to overlap. And also walking through being able to store your preferred settings so you can top-dress your greens and your approach at the same time with a different application rate, a different width and to increase your productivity. We are also going over on some of the tips on how now we can calculate your application rate. You know you have your goal of trying to get to 40 cubic feet per thousand square feet on application rate, how do you get there? Now we actually we’ve got some technology that will actually tell you, here is what your rate is and here is how you get there. So really it’s looking at the whole top-dressing program and coming up with how to make it more productive, more effective and for the first time ever, know what you’re actually putting out on the golf course. We were developing this product in the heat of the recession so we are looking at the 360 degree of the whole job, how do we get it where the superintendent can store his preferred settings, that way he doesn’t have to be involved or she doesn’t have to be involved the next time they want to go top-dressing at that rate. But I think too that its productivity, you know, looking at if you have a program where you are going to be topdressing your greens and your tees or your greens and your approach, why do it at two different times? Now you can do both at the same time with a push of a button you can get a different width and rate. The new design of our spinners allows you to get a consistent spread without having to deal with mechanical adjustments.
