Steel Green Manufacturing announced that Opti-Rate, the company’s advanced rate-controlled spray system, will come standard on all 2026 SGXL and SG54 machines.
The company debuted Opti-Rate in May 2025 as an optional accessory. Uneven applications lead to wasted products and inconsistent results, but Opti-Rate helps this problem.
The Opti-Rate system eliminates over- and under-application using pulse width modulation rate control technology, with the added benefit of turn compensation. It also independently controls flow and pressure to maintain a uniform droplet size, lets operators monitor and adjust their rate easily via an intuitive display, and allows operators to slow down and take their time in tight areas, without the fear of burning turf.
In addition to Opti-Rate becoming standard, all 2026 SGXL and SG54 machines also feature a new spray tank design, which adds a lip to minimize spills and fill markings for precise readings.
