<p>A turf maintenance apparatus (10) having a cooling system. The cooling system includes a front-facing air inlet (42) which delivers air to a longitudinal duct (100) running along the length of the turf maintenance machine (10). A flow reverser (120) is located at the downstream end of the longitudinal duct (100) and serves to turn the flow roughly 180° into a rear-facing radiator (80). The air inlet screen (42) is preferably located immediately behind the operator's seat (40), in a region which is substantially devoid of grass clippings. The preferred turf maintenance machine (10) thus has its power take off (PTO) located near cutting reels (22, 24) and has the air inlet for its cooling system located in a region which is relatively clean and readily serviced by the operator.</p> |
