Turning is one of the many advantages RG3 has over traditional greens mowers.  Operators making turns with traditional greens mowers can cause serious wear and stress on collars and surrounds.  RG3 minimizes stressful turning in four ways:

1. Eliminates wear and tear from an operator's added weight and the twisting action of the shoes on the turf.
2. RG3's patent-pending mechanical design allows for smooth rotation of the mower around a pivot point located between two split drum rollers.
3. RG3 automatically slows down during turning, minimizing the potential for sliding and/or scrubbing of the drum across the turf.
4. RG3 automatically varies the turning distance by a slight amount every day to ensure the same area of turf is not subjected to the impact of the turn on a daily basis.

These four methods work together to take the stress out of turning, resulting in healthier turf on the collars and surrounds and subsequently eliminating the expenses needed to prevent such occurrences, as well as the expenses necessary to make the repairs when they do occur.
