642 QuickSpin Shortlisted for the GroundsFest Innovation Awards 2025

Foley Company is proud to share that the 642 QuickSpin Reel Grinder has been shortlisted for the inaugural GroundsFest Innovation Awards, delivered in partnership with Hort Week.

This awards program celebrates standout innovation and ingenuity across the turf, landscaping, and groundscare industries. Nearly 100 entries were received for the 2025 awards, setting an exceptional standard and giving judges the challenge of selecting only the best new and time-tested technologies for recognition.

The 642 QuickSpin is featured in the Turf Maintenance Equipment – New Product Award category, standing alongside other leading innovations designed to advance professional turf management.

What the Innovation Awards Recognize

The GroundsFest Innovation Awards highlight products that:

• Deliver practical solutions to industry challenges

• Demonstrate engineering creativity and sustainability

• Improve safety, productivity, or performance for turf professionals

Winners will be announced on 9 September at 3pm in the Hort Week Theatre, located in the Landscape Zone at GroundsFest.

Why the 642 QuickSpin Stands Out

The 642 QuickSpin Reel Grinder simplifies spin grinding for walk-behind and reel mower cartridges up to 42 inches wide, allowing operators to achieve professional results without removing the bedknife. Its counter-balanced spin drive, adjustable powered rear levers, and secure clamping system make setup fast, safe, and repeatable. The result is consistent, professional spin-grinding results with less operator effort and more shop efficiency.

Being shortlisted underscores Foley’s mission to deliver precision, durability, and customer-focused innovation to turf professionals worldwide.

We look forward to joining peers at GroundsFest and showcasing how the 642 QuickSpin continues Foley’s legacy of Pursuing Perfect.
