Fast and Easy User Friendly Loading

With the powerful mechanical agitation system, loading is quick and easy. This is the key to producing many more tank loads every day.

• Load and Mix Almost Instantly
• No Waiting. No Clogging.
• Easily Stir 100% Wood Mulch
• Easily Stir Bonded Fiber Matrix Product

The height of a TurfMaker makes loading easy. Place the bag of mulch onto the top of the tank and then open the bag. After the bag is open, load the mulch into the tank by simply pushing blocks of the mulch into the opening. This is much easier than lifting mulch up and then loading it into an elevated box. On a long hot day, it can make a huge difference.

The TurfMaker ® 430 hydroseeder is recommended for Landscape Contractors & Golf Course Maintenance

The TurfMaker ® 465 hydroseeder can mix and apply up to 175 pounds of wood mulch or 250 pounds of paper mulch with one tank load in less than 20 minutes. When making applications for Sod Quality Results, 100% wood fiber mulch should be applied at a rate of 50-75 pounds per 1,000 square feet. When providing typical hydroseeding, 10,000 square feet can be easily covered with one tank load. Note that 100% wood fiber mulch applied at thicker rates always produces better and more reliable results.

The TurfMaker ® 465 hydroseeder is powerful enough to pump thick mulch slurries through as much as 500 feet of hose, and then project the mulch slurry more than 75 feet from the end of the hose. With this power and mulch handling capacity, the TurfMaker® 465 hydroseeder can apply more mulch, and plant more area per hour, than significantly larger jet agitation machines. It is not necessary to use a lot of water to apply a lot of mulch with a TurfMaker ®.

The TurfMaker ® 465 hydroseeder, equipped with the optional clear water system, can fill itself from an auxiliary water tank without ever leaving the job site. This saves numerous trips to a fire hydrant or some other appropriate water source. The auxiliary water tank can be continuously filled with two garden hoses, and supply the water needed for three or four tank loads per hour. When a high volume water source is not close by, the TurfMaker ® 465 hydroseeder can actually work faster and apply more mulch per hour than larger mechanical agitation machines.

The TurfMaker ® 465 hydroseeder will actually fit into the bed of a pickup truck. With one bag of wood mulch, along with seed and fertilizer, this mixture will likely be 130-140 gallons resulting in the loaded machine weighing about 2,600 lbs. When filled to capacity, the total weight may exceed the truck’s carrying capacity. The machine can also be used on a flat bed truck or a small utility trailer. With this compactness and versatility, the TurfMaker ® 465 hydroseeder can be taken into places larger machines can’t go.

When premium grasses such as Tifway 419 are called for, the TurfMaker ® 465 will even perform hydrosprigging. No need to lay sod with a lot of labor. Tifway 419 is ideal for sports fields, golf course fairways, and for homeowners wanting beautiful, easy-to-care-for, and durable turf.  It’s not even necessary to find a sod grower willing to cut sprigs. All TurfMakers ® can perform hydrosprigging utilizing the new patented Vegetative Planting Technology.
