Recently launched during the 2010 Golf Industry Show, Turfco introduces the new CR-7 material handler and fairway topdresser. Designed to handle the mid-range level of renovation, construction and topdressing, the new CR-7 is a great value option for topdressing fairways. As a smaller topdresser, the new CR-7 handles about half the capacity of Turfco’s CR-10.
An inexpensive option for courses to topdress and handle materials, the CR-7 utilizes WideSpin technology which gives operators an accurate spread from light to heavy and up to 35 feet wide, making quick work when topdressing fairways. Adjustable spinner angles allow you to drive topdressing into the turf for better integration with a total range of 17 degrees up and down.
“We are proud to offer an alternative product for fairway topdressing which gives courses access to a smaller, value-priced machine,” said Scott Kinkead, executive vice president of Turfco.
From patented technology to built-in versatility, the CR-7 has almost a 2.0 cubic yard self-cleaning galvanized hopper which can quickly be unloaded. It also has an optional rear-mounted, cross-conveyor with a 180 degree swivel allowing easy access to tighter areas. And with a four-wheel walking high-beam suspension, the new CR-7 handles seven gallons per minute flow of virtually any type of wet or dry material including sand, lime, compost, stone, wood chips, soil conditioners and grass clippings.
The unique frame design creates greater clearance for attachments and operators can move around the course with ease and stability. A patented three-position switch always ensures a clean application by guaranteeing that the attachments turn on prior to the main conveyor, and an adjustable flow control sets the speed.
