Smarter Power. High Productivity. Proven Reliability.
The all-new ProSlab® 165 Turf Harvester redefines what’s possible in automated sod harvesting. Designed for turfgrass producers who demand precision, durability, and efficiency, this PATH machine combines next-generation power management with intelligent automation and rugged engineering.
From the advanced TorqueSync™ regenerative hybrid system to the new ProSlab IQ™ interface and Mercury™ harvest data reporting, every feature of the ProSlab 165 is engineered to deliver consistent performance, easier maintenance, and higher return on investment.
Efficiency: Regenerative Power for Maximum Output
We are known for pioneering the use of precision electric systems on mobile equipment, and by listening to turf producers every day, we have been proud to introduce steady innovation in each model of our PATH machines.
Revolutionizing turf harvesters once again, the ProSlab 165 features the revolutionary TorqueSync power system, a fully regenerative hybrid drive that transforms how energy is managed in a sod harvester.
Traditional alternator systems waste energy during deceleration—but TorqueSync captures and reuses that energy, redirecting it back to the engine for additional power. The result: greater productivity, smoother response, and improved fuel efficiency.
Key efficiency advantages:
- Full regenerative hybrid operation for lower fuel use and higher throughput
- Automotive-grade, environmentally sealed components for reliability in harsh conditions
- Simpler, more serviceable system—delivering ProSlab 160-level performance without ultra-capacitors
Field-tested for over 1,300 hours in Texas heat, TorqueSync has proven its ability to deliver consistent, reliable power under demanding real-world conditions.
User-friendly: Intelligent Control for Every Turf Operation
The ProSlab 165 Turf Harvester automatically adapts to diverse turf conditions through its more intuitive ProSlab IQ user interface—the intelligence behind FireFly’s Precision Automated Turf Harvester line.
ProSlab IQ User Interface
- Graphically-based Software makes operating the machine easier for users with varying languages and skill levels.
- Adaptive Stacking Speeds automatically adjust to turf conditions and ground speed, ensuring smooth operation and reduced turf damage.
We have learned that highly successful producers leverage data to optimize their operations. The ProSlab 165 delivers more powerful information in the cab and in your in-box for off-site monitoring.
IN-CAB DATA
- Extensive Smart Diagnostics monitor system performance and alert operators to issues before they become downtime.
- In-cab engine data displays show fuel rate, RPMs, and engine hours, giving operators full visibility into performance.
- New diagnostic low-voltage bus monitor in the control box continuously checks electrical system health.
REMOTE MONITORING
Mercury Harvest Session Reports now come standard, automatically emailing detailed reports after every harvest session with insights such as:
- Scrap and utilization rates
- Total pallets, square footage, and weight cut
- Average harvesting speed and quality ratios
- Alerts for overweight pallets or scrap over threshold
For PATH machines equipped with the optional GPS kit, Mercury reports also include geolocation data—showing where each session begins and ends for smarter logistics and traceability.
With ProSlab IQ and Mercury reports, producers unlock the harvester’s full potential and gain real-time visibility into productivity and quality—empowering data-driven decisions that maximize yield and profitability.
Quality: Precision That Builds Reputation
Every detail of the ProSlab 165 sod harvester is engineered to improve turf quality and reduce waste.
- Laser-cut slab sensor brackets ensure accurate, repeatable placement for cleaner cuts and tighter stacks.
- Retroreflector tape on fork mast sensors enhances performance in fog or low light.
- Upgraded hydraulic cooling fan—a shrouded, brushless, heavy-duty design—improves airflow and extends component life.
- Optimized wire routing and isolation keep critical systems clean, secure, and easier to service.
From first cut to final stack, the ProSlab 165 delivers uniform, professional-grade turf—every time.
Smarter Design, Easier Maintenance
The ProSlab 165 Turf Harvester minimizes downtime with intelligent system design and easy service access.
Larger, upgraded toolbox enhances field efficiency with better organization.
New multi-tool and bracket to help you safely move a stray piece, when needed, conveniently from the cab’s rear platform.
- Improved radiator access and better airflow routing simplify cleaning and extend cooling performance.
- New fuel tank design—with a sloped floor, low pickup point, and easy-access drain—reduces water accumulation and maintenance time.
These upgrades, combined with the sealed TorqueSync power system, keep the ProSlab 165 working longer and more efficiently—day after day.
Reliability: Built for the Demands of Turf Production
Reliability is engineered into every ProSlab 165.
- Sealed, automotive-grade TorqueSync components withstand heat, vibration, and dust.
- Improved wire management protects cables from contamination and wear.
- Gray cab design with added window tinting behind the screen reduces internal temperature by 20%, lowering A/C load and extending the life of electronics and displays.
- Rugged touchscreen and engraved keypads improve durability and ease of use.
- Safety chain on fork mast adds protection during operation.
The result: a machine that’s ready to perform season after season, with fewer service interruptions and lower long-term costs.
