Various embodiments of a ground working implement and a grounds maintenance vehicle that includes such implement are disclosed. The ground-working implement includes an implement frame and a tool carousel rotatably connected to the implement frame. The tool carousel includes a shaft and first and second operator-selectable ground-working tools extending outwardly from the shaft. The shaft extends along a carousel axis. The tool carousel is configured to rotate about the carousel axis and alternately lock in a first position, where the first ground-working tool is configured to contact a ground surface, and a second position, where the second ground-working tool is configured to contact the ground surface.

The present invention relates to an automated turf repair and condition-management system configured to detect, fill, and monitor divots and surface irregularities on turf areas such as golf courses and athletic fields. The system includes an air-assisted dispensing array that precisely delivers a dry repair material through multiple controllable nozzles, and a liquid-mist subsystem that applies water, binder, or growth solution post-nozzle to create a wetted, stabilized fill. A control system measures divot geometry, computes fill volume, and regulates airflow, mist, and nozzle activation in real time. The system can be integrated with a host vehicle or autonomous platform, and may operate in coordination with aerial drones for GPS-based mapping, repair scheduling, and regrowth monitoring. This integrated approach enables data-driven, repeatable, and biologically responsive turf restoration with improved accuracy, reduced labor, and accelerated surface recovery compared to prior mechanical or manual repair methods.

An apparatus for drilling a hole in a golf green. The apparatus includes a support frame, a moveable cutter head, a handle, a base, a tread plate, an ejection mechanism, a drive motor configured to power the operation of the apparatus and control device. A drive shaft connects the drive motor with the cutter head via a threaded coupling. The cutter head is advanced relative to the tread plate when the drive shaft is rotated in one rotational direction and is retracted relative to the tread plate when the drive shaft is rotated in the opposite rotational direction. The drive shaft is provided with a central threaded portion and a non-threaded end portion at each end of the thread. The non-threaded end portions act as slip couplings configured to allow a rotation of the drive shaft without axial movement of the threaded coupling to stop the cutter head.

A brush attachment system for a turfgrass mower with a crossbeam, a brush mount, and left and right mounting brackets. The brush mount is suspended from the crossbeam and is configured to support a brush. The left and right mounting brackets are attached to the left and right ends of the crossbeam, respectively. Each of the mounting brackets may have a bracket plate and a clamp. The bracket plate has a clamping surface, and the clamp is configured to butt against the clamping surface of the bracket plate. Slots extend into the bracket plate and slots extend into the clamp. The slots align when the clamp butts against the clamping surface to form holes through the mounting brackets. The brush attachment system is configured to attach to the turfgrass mower by passing two crossbars of the turfgrass mower through the holes of the mounting brackets.

A brush attachment system with a first module that has a mounting bracket, an arm support, an arm, and an elongated member. The mounting bracket is configured to mount onto a first side of the turfgrass mower. The arm support is coupled to the mounting bracket and the arm has a first end that is pivotally coupled to the arm support. The second end of the arm is configured to couple with a turfgrass brush. The arm is configured to rotate between an active position in which the arm extends towards the front of the turfgrass mower and an inactive position in which the arm is lifted away from the front of the turfgrass mower. The elongated member is configured to extend through the turfgrass mower to a second side of the turfgrass mower and exert a force on the brush attachment system toward the turfgrass mower.
