turfroller - g2 turftools - overview
|
 A patent pending device specifically designed to replace roller equipment which over compacted the soil and left roller ridges caused by the straight edges of the roller. With a high center of gravity, narrow widths and slow transport speeds, rolling was painfully slow and extremely dangerous on slopes. You can now easily improve rolling production without compaction problems to the underlining soil. With an average of 9.69 pounds per square inch (psi) ground pressure compared to more than 26 psi for a 170-pound person walking, the turfroller™ smooths out irregularities created by foot traffic and high ground-pressure equipment. Natural heaving caused by soil freezing and thawing can be quickly smoothed out. Rolling has become a basic turf management practice to smooth the surface and place disturbed turf back in contact with the soil. Rolling immediately after athletic events increases the opportunity for the turf to heal quickly while promoting root re-growth. With the g2 optional grass catchers and extra large drain & fill plugs, that beautiful, playable turf everyone desires is now easier than ever. In summary, the turfroller™ uses include rolling the finished grade prior to installing sod; rolling newly-laid sod to remove air pockets; rolling existing athletic fields, golf course tees, greens, & fairways; rolling clay tennis courts, baseball infields and warning tracks; and rolling any surface that needs to be firm and smooth without creating compaction problems. |
