BOB-CAT Brings 40 Year Commercial Mower Legacy to Consumer Zero-Turn Mower Line.*

BOB-CAT, a leading brand of commercial walk-behind and zero-turn riding mowers, introduces the new BOB-CAT CRZ, an all-new consumer zero-turn mower line that brings professional-grade power and performance to the residential zero-turn riding mower market. With models that come in 48-, 52-, and 61-inch deck sizes - all powered by rugged Kawasaki engines - and a starting price under $5,000, the new BOB-CAT CRZ zero-turn makes it affordable for do-it-yourself home landscapers to tame their terrain like the pros this mowing season.

A great cut every time. The new BOB-CAT CRZ features BOB-CAT’s all-new TufDeck™ Cutting System that features a patented double-wave baffle for maximum airflow and lift - making grass stand up and take what’s coming to it from high-lift cutting blades that spin at up to 18,000 feet per minute with a large impact-resistant discharge chute that fans clippings to eliminate clumping for a crisp clean finish on the first pass. Height adjustable anti-scalp ball rollers fluidly follow the contours of the most undulated turf. The CRZ’s wide stance and turf friendly rear drive wheels provide sure footing on hills and slopes as well.

BOB-CAT keeps you mowing. The formed and welded reinforced 10 gauge steel TufDeck is built to take whatever the ground can throw at it. And the CRZ’s open frame design allows easy access to operator controls, engine, and vital components that make regular maintenance quick and easy too.

			<title>Director of Parts and Service Announced for Finn</title>

			<description>FINN Corporation promotes Keith Spitznagel to the newly created position of Director of Parts and Service. The appointment is effective immediately.

FINN Corporation, a world leader in the manufacture of landscape and erosion control equipment and materials, recognizes that quality aftermarket parts and service support is fundamental to its widespread dealer networks’ overall success. To refocus on this commitment, FINN has promoted longtime service and production manager, Keith Spitznagel, to the new position of Director of Parts and Service. In this role, Spitznagel’s first order of business is to improve FINN’s training and support capabilities, specifically to its dealers, but also to translate to its customer base in general.

With the priority on improving FINN’s support capabilities, Spitznagel will immediately work on bettering parts department communications and procedures, where the ordering and shipping of parts invites the most contact between FINN and its dealers. He will also work with others in the organization to develop a web-based parts and service training program using Classroom Manager, which currently houses FINN’s online sales training program. This online training will augment current training opportunities and the hands-on training conferences to be held at the FINN facility in Fairfield, Ohio on a semi-annual basis.

“Director of Parts and Service is of great strategic importance to the company,” says Spitznagel’s supervisor, Rob Jelinek, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Keith is very well respected within our industry and already has a great rapport with many of our dealers. He will help build and strengthen our dealer relationships, so they can more easily grow their markets which, in turn, helps us grow ours.”

Spitznagel is currently FINN’s Production Manager and will begin transitioning immediately into his new role with full engagement expected by month’s end.

FINN Corporation is a Cincinnati-area based company that was started in 1935 by Charles Finn. When he invented the first HydroSeeder® in 1953, Finn set the company on a course of innovation that continues to help landscapers and contractors get more productivity while cutting labor and material costs. Today, FINN continues building on this foundation and strives to make every FINN machine a smarter way to work.</description>
