Investment Paid Off

 

We purchased the Sandfiller above right after Covid to help save on labor.  You can see the machine verticuts, drops sand in the slit and cleans up the thatch in one pass.  As you can see it is basically a 3 man operation with 1 operator and 2 guys filling the hopper with sand.

This is 10 green and back when we aerated greens, we were leery to verticut this green before aeration in fear that with lack of roots we would get damage and not be able to pull cores after.  Once we aerated we saw no damage so we decided to put our Graden out today to do this one green instead of hooking up the Sandfiller.
The results were very good but it required 5 men about 2.5 hours to verticut, fill the hopper and blow off the green after.  Compare that to the Sandfiller, 3 men and about 30 minutes to do a green, and a much cleaner product.
