2023 TURFCO CR-8 TOPDRESSER AND MATERIAL HANDLER 

The CR-8 is the perfect machine for golf courses needing more capacity for materials but without a larger tractor. New larger capacity 2.0 cubic yard self-cleaning hopper easily handles wet or dry material. Hydraulic controls combined with Turfco's patented WideSpin Technology give you greater control and wider range of applications. Hydraulics are controlled by a patented three-position switch with belt and spinner control and manually adjusted hydraulic speeds, all designed to give the operator maximum control over field operations.

FEATURES

OVERVIEW

The CR-8 makes topdressing even easier by combining patented technology with built-in versatility. New hydraulic controls, combined with WideSpin™ Technology, give you greater control and a wider range of applications to deliver your most accurate spread from light to heavy, wet or dry, and up to 45-feet wide. Reduce the number of passes and decrease traffic our your turf with even, edge-to-edge applications.

The heavy-duty galvanized steel hopper can handle up to 2 cubic foot in capacity, including lime, sand, stone, wood chips, compost, soil conditioners and grass clippings. It's a higher capacity machine in a modestly sized package, right-sized for mounting on smaller tractors equipped with 30-hp or greater engines (for powering hydraulics operations). In action, the CR-8 is rated for top speed operation at 8 mph, which means it can cover a lot of ground in a relatively short period of time.

The spinner angle can be adjusted to allow for driving topdressing material into the turf, minimizing the need for brushing and eliminating variations in moisture control. The CR-8 rolls on four 26.5 x 14-12 4-ply tires with walking high beam suspension, allowing for higher tire pressures that ease the trailer’s impact on the turf. The curved metering gate is fully manually adjustable.

KEY FEATURES

• The CR-8 is perfect for golf courses and sports fields when you need more capacity without using a larger tractor.

• New larger capacity 2.0 yd3 self-cleaning, galvanized hopper easily spreads wet or dry material, including sand, lime, compost, soil conditioners and grass clippings.

• New hydraulic controls, combined with WideSpin Technology, give greater control and wider range of applications to deliver your most accurate spread from light to heavy, wet to dry, and up to 45-feet wide.

• Reduce the number of passes and decrease traffic with edge-to-edge applications.

• Drive topdressing down into the turf canopy by adjusting the spinner angle, minimizing the need for brushing and eliminating variations in moisture content (spreads the same wet or dry).

• Four-wheel dual walking beam suspension for low psi.

• Standard 3-year warranty.

EDGE-TO-EDGE TOPDRESSING

Save time and reduce wear on your turf with Turfco's patented WideSpin™ edge-to-edge technology. Decrease the number of passes on your turf by up to 720 per year as compared to the wheel-to-wheel method. Improve productivity and save time; unique 30-foot wide, even spread makes it possible to cover your turf without having to do overlapping. Increase your productivity and dramatically reduce traffic on your course, minimizing the potential for soil compaction and hydraulic leaks.

MORE CAPACITY, LOW PSI

New larger capacity 2.0 yd3 self-cleaning galvanized hopper easily spreads wet or dry material, including lime, sand, stone, wood chips, compost, soil conditioners and grass clippings. Four-wheel dual walking beam suspension for low psi also provides lower center of gravity for stability.
