Tackle Tons of Turf
Turfco claims that the T5000 Spreader is the most powerful and productive stand-on large areas spreader/sprayer on the market. We don’t necessarily have the tools or the time to validate that claim, but we can tell you what this beast of a spreader has going for it.
Turfco has built the T5000 for larger properties. It features a 22 hp Briggs & Stratton engine that delivers top speeds of up to 7 mph. With dual 30-gallon tanks for liquids and a 325-lb. dry capacity, Turfco claims that the T5000 spreader can cover 300,000 sq. ft per fill (with the optional 3-in-1 tank attachment).
It also features Turfco’s boomless spray system. This unique design delivers an effective spray width of up to 10 ft., applying large droplets for better coverage. This system eliminates the maneuverability issues that can come from spreaders with spray booms. With the Turfco T5000, you can move past obstacles and tighter areas quickly. It even includes a hand wand for spot applications. Thanks in part to this design, it can also fit through gate openings down to 48″ wide.
It also features Turfco’s unique and intuitive steering wheel drive system. This system not only provides outstanding stability on hills, but it eliminates turf tearing. Turfco designed the steering system so that turning matches the upcoming pass with the last one, effectively covering 100% of your area with ease.
Hard trim and rate controls eliminate any off-target prills. The T5000 lets you get right up to the edges of sidewalks, ornamentals, and mulch beds. It maintains a matched application rate to reduce wasted fertilizer and clean-up time.
Turfco also claims that the T5000, because of its ease-of-use, saves business owners thousands of dollars per year by reducing training time for new operators. According to the company, new users can get fully trained and operational in under a week.
Speaking of reduced downtime, the Turfco T5000 features an all-mechanical drive with no electronics. Cables have been eliminated from the design as well. This makes it easier to maintain and service.
