Steel Green Manufacturing’s Opti-Rate spray system to come standard on all 2026 SGXL and SG54 machines
Steel Green Manufacturing announces that Opti-Rate, the company’s advanced rate-controlled spray system, comes standard on all 2026 SGXL and SG54 machines.
The company debuted Opti-Rate in May 2025 as an optional accessory, and since then, it’s has helped numerous operators make the most of their spray applications, according to the company.
Uneven applications lead to wasted product and inconsistent results, which is a main problem that Opti-Rate has aimed to make a thing of the past.
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.
Interested customers should reach out to their dealer about the 2026 SGXL and SG54 to learn more.
