RG3 reborn under Cub Cadet badge

 

62ad8b8b02c42b7eac432d1229174bdb-.jpgTurfNet recently reported that MTD Products acquired Precise Path Robotics, the company that brought the RG3 robotic greens mower to the golf industry six years ago. Since then, the RG3 has been rebranded under the Cub Cadet badge.
 
The all-new RG3 (hint: it's no longer green in color) will officially be unveiled at the Golf Industry Show in San Antonio later this month, and it is symbolic of Cub Cadet's official entry into the golf market.
 
By using a proprietary positioning technology, the RG3 with Precise Path Technology moves precisely and safely across the green on preset paths. It travels in straight lines and along the perimeter without the need for an operator, delivering what Cub Cadet says are consistent and repeatable cuts every time, so every green is mowed exactly the same way.
 
Precise Path Robotics was founded in 2004 as a private start up company called IndyRobotics. Cub Cadet is integrating the technology of Precise Path Robotics, an Indianapolis-based company that first brought the RG3 to market at the 2009 GIS in New Orleans.
 
Cub Cadet is a division of MTD Products, a Cleveland-based manufacturer of outdoor power equipment primarily for the residential and lawn and landscape markets. Other brands under the MTD umbrella include Bolens, MTD, Yard Machines and Yard Man.
