PERFORMANCE FEATURES:
Powerful Mechanical Agitation
Positive Displacement Gear Pump
Hydro-Sprigging & Vegetative Planting

MULCH CAPACITIES:

The TurfMaker® Model 375, with mechanical agitation, is a cost effective alternative to jet agitation machines. Typically, jet agitation machines are limited to soupy slurries of paper mulch. Soupy paper mulch applications easily washout and frequently yield spotty seed germination. Poor grass growing results make unhappy customers. The TurfMaker® 375 easily mixes and pumps thicker wood mulch slurries associated with Sod Quality Results™ and happy satisfied customers.

The TurfMaker® 375 is a complete 375 gallon hydro-mulching machine with mechanical agitation and a positive displacement pump. Normal mulch loading is 125 lbs of 100% wood mulch, 150 lbs of any Bonded Fiber Matrix product or 200 lbs of paper mulch. The machine comes ready to use, equipped with 100 feet of hose and three hose application nozzles.

When applying wood mulch products at moderate application rates with a TurfMaker® 375, one full tank load will cover about 2,500 sq. ft. When applying Bonded Fiber Matrix products at recommended application rates, one tank load will cover about 1,500 sq. ft. Paper mulch products can be applied at typical jet agitation machine application rates and one tank load will cover about 8,000 sq. ft. Most TurfMaker® operators seldom make soupy, paper mulch applications.

When water is readily available for quick filling, a TurfMaker® 375 will easily produce three tank loads of application in one hour. When applying quality wood mulch products, along with tackifiers for Sod Quality Results™, three tank loads will cover from 6,000 sq. ft. to 7,000 sq. ft. Jet agitation machines , due to difficulty of loading and clogging, seldom get as much as one tank load per hour, and that tank load is applying soupy paper mulch.

For really small jobs or small touch-ups, a TurfMaker® 375 will mix partial loads. A 50 lb bag of 100% wood mulch can be mixed with 135 gallons of water and cover about 1,000 sq. ft. A 50 lb bag of any Bonded Fiber Matrix product can be loaded with 125 gallons of water and cover about 500 sq. ft. A 40 lb bag of paper mulch can be mixed with 80 gallons of water and cover up to 3,000 sq. ft.

The TurfMaker® 375 has all the features found on standard hydro-mulching machines. However, it is missing some of the super features found on most TurfMaker machines. The most significant of these options is the self-filling and clear water hose flushing system. This system can be added to the Model 375 for $530. This add-on option is a great investment and highly recommended. Other additional features include 200' of TurfMaker® hose and storage reel, a long life pump, and various engine upgrades. Any of these additional features can be added at any time.

The TurfMaker® 375 provides a cost effective alternative to jet agitation machines. Many jet agitation machine buyers have wasted money, time in their career, and performed poor grass planting services for their clientele, just because they did not know what it takes to produce good results with the hydro-mulching process. Spraying colored water is not good business. Providing grass planting services with appropriate applications of quality mulch will produce Sod Quality Results™ nearly every time. This good service results in satisfied customers and good future referral business.

The TurfMaker® Model 375, with mechanical agitation is by far the best choice, even when the buyer is faced with a limited budget.
