THE GT-7. ITS CARRYING CAPACITY * IS NO EMPTY CLAIM.

No other golf utility vehicle on the market has a bigger carrying capacity than the GT-7. It'll haul a 1500* pound payload at up to 24 mph, without so much as a complaint. And its 19 cubic feet of cargo area can save you extra trips.

It's also available with a full line-up of accessories for aerating, seeding and spreading, top dressing or spraying.

The GT-7 is easier to service, has undentable fenders and a diamond steel rear bumper. Yet it

sells for about the same price as the leading competitor.

But don't just believe our claims. For a demonstration on your course, just call your E-Z-GO Branch Office or Distributor. They're in the Yellow Pages. Or call us at (612) 542-0516.

That's the Greensaire difference Precision is the name of the game on the greens.

When-it comes to greens aeration, the name associated witlv precision has been the Ryan Greensaire aerator since 1958. The self-propelled Greensaire II for 1981 continues that tradition.

The tines of the Greensaire II cleanly penetrate the turf in an up-and-down motion, removing 36 cores— up to 3" long—from every square foot of turf. Yet the process is so precise that the hojes it makes should not affect the true roll of a ball."

Powered by a tough 8-hp engine, the Greensaire II takes a full 24" swath and lets you aerate up to 8,000 square feet per hour. And, with four sizes of interchangeable tines, you can achieve precisely the amount of aeration your greens need.

What's more, by attaching the optional Core Processor, you can separate and collect the thatch, and return the soil as top dressing—all in one operation.

For the same precision in a smaller size, chodse the self-propelled Greensaire 16. It offers the same choice of tine sizes, and can aerate up to 4,000 square .feet fJer hour.

Healthy greens aeration. That's the Greensaire difference. To f ind out why the Greensaire is the ultimate in greens aeration, complete and return this coupon today. b i - c u r - i
