g2 turftools: turftrack, turfroller and turffloat
30 May, 2007 By: Landscape Management Staff Athletic Turf NewsA new company, g2 turftools, inc., has begun the production of three pieces of precision turf equipment for sports fields and golf courses. These new inventions were designed to provide turf managers with precision turf equipment that can be attached to their existing tractors to significantly enhance productivity while establishing new levels of playability and aesthetically beautiful turf.

The new equipment includes:
1.The turfrack – used for the rapid installation of big-roll sod. It not only significantly improves overall production and the quality of sod installations, but also enhances operator safety and efficiency. Features include an electric over independent hydraulic system and an integrated brake assembly to control the sod roll rotation speed as it is being installed. All turfrack functions are controlled by a joystick mounted to the draft control of the tractor.

2. The turfroller – designed to compact soil and newly-installed sod on athletic fields, golf courses and even commercial landscaping projects in a cost effective manner. It is also used on existing turf after athletic events; clay tennis courts; golf course fairways and tee boxes; and baseball warning tracts and base lines. Studies have consistently shown that rolling turf on a frequent basis significantly enhances the quality of the turf. A feature of this tractor attachment includes hydraulic wheels to easily transport the turfroller from one location to another. Other features are rounded roller edges to eliminate cutting the turf, front and rear scrapper blades, grass catchers and extra large filler holes.

3. The turffloat – can save turf managers significant time by eliminating the process of harvesting aeration cores. At the same time, a tractor pulling this device can level turf on athletic fields and golf courses by eliminating low areas in the turf, such as “puddles” and “birdbaths.” It does this by filling them with ground-up aeration cores and top dressing by “floating” the turf after aeration. The turffloat should also be used after sod installations to help level the new turf on athletic fields and golf courses.
