Increased capacity, consistent topdressing: The Turfco Mete-R-Matic IV Topdresser provides the proven spread of Turfco topdressers with the added efficiency of a full one-cubic-meter hopper. It features a Chevron belt to assure a uniform application of all types of wet or dry materials, including: sand, compost, peat and hums, grass seed, crumb rubber, gypsum, lime, and clays. Combined with a hydraulic-free ground-drive system, regardless of operator speed, the application remains smooth and consistent. The durable topdresser is easy to use: just hook-up and go.

The Mete-R-Matic XL topdresser with a hopper capacity of 60.75 cubic feet offers less loading and high efficiency on large turf areas. The Mete-R-Matic XL tow-type topdresser has a Chevron belt for consistent handling of all types of material, and a large-capacity hopper that can be filled with a front-end loader.

When the XL topdresser speeds up, slows down or crosses uneven terrain, the conveyor belt and brush automatically adjust at the same rate to provide a consistent and even application every single time. No hydraulics, no pumps and no engines.

Additional features include:

  • Suited for golf greens, cultured grasses, sports turf and other areas sensitive to weight.
  • Ideal for compost or other organic material application.
  • All six wheels drive the machine for consistent application on uneven terrain.
  • Easily towed by turf truck vehicles.
  • Galvanized hopper (no rusting — or potential rust flakes in topdress material).

Product Highlights:

  • Suited for golf greens, cultured grasses, sports turf and other areas sensitive to weight.
