Turfco CR-15 Large Area Topdresser and Material Handler

Our largest capacity product, the CR-15 combines unprecedented productivity and precision topdressing into one workhorse of a machine. It frees up your time and gives you the confidence knowing you're meeting your agronomic goals. Our new digital Smart Controller gives you the ability to take control of your topdressing program. Calculate your rates, save your preferred settings and tackle any of your projects on your course. One season with the CR-15 and you'll wonder how you ever got by without it.

 

OVERVIEW

The CR-15 Large Area Topdresser & Material Handler revolutionizes fairway and large area topdressing in the same way the WideSpin 1550 does for greens. It comes equipped with a digital Smart Controller that gives superintendents the ability to calculate their preferred rates then lock in rates and widths into four savable pre-sets. Operators can switch between presets on the fly for greater productivity.

The edge-to-edge spread capability offers a consistent application that's pinpoint accurate, eliminating waste. Miscalculating a spread by five feet off the fairways can add up to 4 hoppers loads or more. Areas needing heavier applications like landing zones can be handled with the push of a button.

Backed by a 3-year warranty, the CR-15 doubles as an all-purpose construction and renovation machine. Quickly load other topdressers, turf vehicles and spreaders or move around the course. Use it on a daily basis for everything from renovating bunkers and filling ditches to fixing washout areas.
