Toro Propass Topdressing

Once the initial frost had lifted, conditions were ideal to apply the second dressing of the season. We apply a straight sand dressing with the Toro Propass pulled behind a Kubota 2110 tractor. The sand was applied at approx 1/2 tonne per green. Now we are into the start of the golfing season we apply topdressing light and often to promote a dry, smooth surface. Here's Adam on the 11th green.

Mark took the high lift trailer around to fill the top dresser out on the course which saves a lot of time, topdressing 30 greens can be completed in around 4 hours. Once the topdressing has had time to dry on the greens Scott followed on behind with the drag mat, working the sand into the sward. The greens are heavily irrigated during the night to further work the sand right down into the sward.
