Wiedenmann North America was recently honored with the SportsField Management Association’s Innovative Award for the STrac 720 multi-purpose walk-behind turfgrass management power tool. SFMA past president Sun Roesslein, CSFM, presented the award to current President Will Wolverton at the association’s national conference held in January in Palm Springs, California.
The STrac 720 machine offers interchangeable heads that allow an operator to quickly switch between tasks. Those tasks include fraise mowing, sod cutting, verticutting, high speed coring, sand injection, vibratory spiking, seeding, and other agronomic practices. The SFMA award singled out the design of the ST170 fraise mowing head attachment for its compact operation that facilitates level ballfield lips for player safety and consistent ball bounce.
“We were thrilled to win the 2025 SFMA Innovative Award for the STrac 720 interchangeable power tool for sports turf and golf course management,” Wolverton said. “We knew the fraise mower attachment would produce excellent results while saving valuable time. The award confirms our dedication to offering the turf industry the latest in forward-thinking equipment that helps golf course superintendents and sports field managers to produce an excellent product for their players and golfers.”
Wiedenmann’s full line of equipment is available through most John Deere Golf and Turf Dealers and other distributors throughout the United States and North America.
