Product Description
Mete-R-Matic®, the best-known brand in topdressing, sets the standard for uniform application. The Mete-R-Matic IV is the ideal choice for golf greens, tees, driving ranges and sports fields. The patented Chevron® belt guarantees a uniform application of all types of materials regardless of moisture content. The patented ground drive system means that you're always getting a consistent rate regardless of how fast or slow the operator drives. No hydraulics, no pumps, no engines. Just set your application rate and go.
OVERVIEW
The Mete-R-Matic® IV featuring a patented Chevron® belt, is the first and only topdresser to ensure uniform application of all types of materials and varying levels of moisture content, including wet sand. Perfect for after aerification. You can consistently apply a wide variety of topdressing mixtures such as sand, organic compost, peat humus, and rye grass, as well as crumb rubbers, gypsum, lime and calcine clays.
Ideal for golf greens, cultured grasses and other areas sensitive to weight, this topdresser utilizes an eco-friendly, patented ground-drive system. When you speed up, slow down or cross uneven terrain, the conveyor belt and brush automatically adjust at the same rate to provide a consistent and even application every time. No hydraulics, no pumps and no engines. Just hook up and go.
A wide, galvanized hopper won't rust or flake and is easily loaded with the Turfco CR-15 or other front-end loader. Easily towed by turf truck vehicles, the Mete-R-Matic IV is designed to handle any topdressing program.
