Purpose Built From The Ground Up

Speed & Precision

The ABI Force is a ZERO TURN chassis that provides industry-leading efficiency and control, making maneuverability and ease of use second to none. The ABI Force features a Stand-on design to enhance precision control, visibility and operator comfort. The operator no longer has to look behind to “drop and drag” an attachment. The ABI Force positions the operator at a top-down perspective, looking down and forward to see and make adjustments as needed, ensuring enhanced visibility and monitored engagement of attachments.

Responsive Variable Force Technology

The heart and soul of the ABI Force, ZTV is it’s patented Responsive Variable Force Technology. This RVF technology enables a small footprint zero-turn platform to do the work of much larger and heavier equipment, with a fraction of the otherwise required tractive effort. Located at the mid underbelly of the ABI Force, the patented RVF Technology hydraulically controls mid-mounted ground-engaging attachments with lift, variable down pressure, and pitch adjustments.

Speed Lock

The Speed-lock feature prevents less experienced users from operating the ABI Force faster than a facility manager establishes. This feature provides improved safety and ease of use for all operators.

Depth-Lock

The Depth-lock feature prevents mid-mount attachments from going any deeper into the infield surface that intended. This feature makes it easy to ensure consistent preparation from field to field and operator to operator.

Functionality

Up & Down Control

The ABI Force Spring and Rocker Arm design allows for unparalleled down pressure of your mid-mount attachments. The patented spring system up to 1,000 lbs of down pressure, but builds in forgiveness, so the Force can power through some of the toughest jobs.

Pitch Control

When utilizing the Mid-Mount Attachment, the pitch control allows you to properly control and engage the attachments into the ground. Swap between a pocketed attachment to the multi-function rake for combing or sifting use. Run your attachments separately or together, utilizing the pitch control.

Hydraulic Rear Lift Control

The Hydraulic Rear Lift Control features a swivel based design, allowing all rear attachments to mimic the movement of the machine, increasing tire and tight turn coverage. The design allows our attachments to pick up from the front, similar to the feathering done by hand, eliminating large piles upon leaving the infield surface. Change the pitch of your attachment, with a center mounted top link, adjustable for certain conditions or playing surfaces.

Kohler Command Pro EFI

The ABI Force is now equipped with ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION. An EFI system utilizes advanced computer controls teamed with a high-pressure fuel delivery system to provide peak power and fuel efficiency. The ABI Force now starts like a car with no carburetor issues, has increased fuel efficiency, and starts easily in the cold! – 23 horsepower

EFI V-Twin OHV
4-Cycle Air Cooled
5 Gallon/18.9L Capacity Unleaded Gasoline
EPA Compliant

Heavy-Duty 2-Stage Air Filter

Every ABI Force Z-23s comes standard with a Heavy Duty 2-Stage Cyclonic Canister Air Filtration System. No longer located near the engine, the Canister Air Filter has been relocated for ease of access. A 2-stage filtration system makes sure that your engine pulls clean air, acting as your engine’s shield in dusty conditions. Keep the filter clean to see improved engine performance, fuel efficiency, and extended engine life.

No More Broken Belts

Typically, machinery of this size runs off Hydraulic Drive System geared to a belt and pulley drive shaft. The lifetime of a belt can be unpredictable as belts break, and unfortunately, your machine is temporarily stuck. Not anymore! Each ABI Force is plumbed standard with Dual Stacked HydroGear Variable Displacement Pumps and Fixed Displacement Wheel Motors. The benefits are significant compared to typical belt-driven systems.

Standard Air Tires

The ABI Force comes standard with a commercial grade tire. The Standard Air Tire is a beefy traction and performance-based tire that gives the ABI Force a high stance while establishing crucial ground contact for maintaining traction.

Tweel®-Yeah

The Premium never-flat Tweel® offers additional benefits not found in the standard air tire. The full-width poly-resin spokes flex when in operation, providing increased tire-to-ground contact. This added ground contact enables significantly more traction, more torque power and excellent lateral stability during material grading. The unique design of the spokes also helps to soften the ride for enhanced operator comfort.

Operator Experience

Precision Control In Hand

We all know that handwork is precision work, and tradition has shown us that handwork yields the best results. So, what do we do when handwork level results are expected, and we face budgetary, workforce, time, and weather constraints? The answer is the ABI Force, which empowers the operator with precision control and incredible visibility, turning labor-intensive and time-consuming handwork, into precision mechanized efficiency.

Visibility

We stand up when we witness greatness, and we stand when we do our best work. So in designing the new ABI Force, we knew standing up would empower our users to get their best work done; like never before. Traditional seated drop-and- drag style bunker rakes have poor visibility, making precision work an uncomfortable and challenging task. It’s time to leave behind the old bunker rake and take a stand for great work!

Manufactured Right Here

You want the best quality materials, you want the highest quality workmanship, you want your attachments made in the United States of America–and so do we! That’s why, since 1997, we’ve been manufacturing and selling equipment built to exceed your expectations, just like we should. This attention to detail creates products that are durable, reliable, and ready to do your toughest work–day after day.

Limited Warranty - Farm, Ranch, & Commercial

36-month Warranty

We build equipment with commercial-grade construction and superior craftsmanship, so you can rest assured it will last a very long time. And to back that up, we offer a 36-month limited warranty on this product. See warranty documentation for details.

1Safety

It’s the obligation of all decision-makers, regarding the conditions of their infields, to properly invest in equipment that is going to produce the safest playing environment for their athletes. The ability of the ABI Force to properly prepare an infield is second to none in the industry. Only the ABI Force can properly eliminate under surface compaction, inconsistencies, and conditions that put the athlete at risk of injury.

2Playability

No one can enjoy the game if the game cannot be played. Team schedules, revenue generation, and fair play are at risk when your infield maintenance equipment cannot handle the power of Mother Nature. The versatility and control of the ABI Force gives facility managers and operators the tools they need to combat the conditions that make playing the game impossible.

3ROI

The ABI Force generates significant returns versus other infield groomers. Operators using the Force can prepare infields significantly faster due to its zero-turn chassis and stand-up platform. In addition, with its multi-function design, the Force can handle gravel maintenance, aerating, fertilizing, seeding, edging and more. The Force’s durable, industrial grade construction ensures years of dependable performance.

4Commercial Grade

The ABI Force was designed to utilize some of the most reliable and durable commercial grade engine, hydraulic, electrical and cooling system technologies on the zero-turn market. Commercial Grade warranty is a standard on all internal systems, assuring your investment will show returns for many years of operation.

5Efficiency

The need to get the work done right and in the most efficient manner is critical to a well-managed facility. The versatility and control that the ABI Force offers facility managers and equipment operators will reduce the time needed for infield grooming, preparation, and renovation. With the ability to prepare and finish in one pass, zero turn maneuverability and multiple options for other maintenance needs, the ABI Force is in a class of its own.

6Versatility

With the ABI Force’s mid-mount attachments directly below the hydraulic controls, it becomes an extension of the human body. Easy visibility for both attachment ground contact and forward direction makes the ABI Force the safest and most effective infield groomer on the market.

7Operator Experience

With traditional bunker-rake style infield groomers, physical fatigue comes standard. Always looking over your shoulder to see how the drop-and-drag attachments are affecting the infield quickly leads to operator fatigue and discomfort. With the ABI Force’s attachments directly below the eyes of the operator, and with the ergonomic design of the stand-on platform, operators will experience more comfort, safety and better results

8Visibility

9Facility Image

They say a picture paints a thousand words. A perfectly maintained infield tells athletes, coaches and spectators that you care about the Game. When games are played on a pristine and beautiful infield, everyone wants to come back. The ABI Force guarantees that your fields are not only beautiful and fun to play on, but provide a safe and fair environment.

10Purpose-Built

The ABI Force is a revolutionary, zero-turn, self-propelled machine packed with purpose-built and powerful features and attachments designed to empower the user to get tough work, done. The ABI Force is built to give the operator the ability and control necessary to renovate, prepare and groom the safest and most playable playing surface possible. We understand all ballfields require more work than just grooming, so why would we limit the abilities? The ABI Force is a Groomer, Scarifier, Laser Grader, and Renovator to give the operator the ability to mechanize tasks for efficient labor. One Machine. Countless Combinations. Custom to your needs.
