TurfEx Releases New Self-Propelled Sprayer/Spreader

MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. -– TurfEx introduces its first self-propelled spreader/sprayer combination unit. The new RS7200 Spread-N-Spray boasts high capacity, superior material application and high-performance handling.

The Spread-N-Spray is powered by a 200cc Honda GX200 engine with a 2:1 ratio gear reducer. Its heavy-duty transmission includes two forward gears, plus neutral and reverse. The unit comes with a hand-operated transmission disc brake, as well as a foot-controlled sulky band brake.

The large-capacity hopper accommodates 150 pounds, or 3 cubic feet, of material, which can be spread up to 11 feet wide. Additionally, the balanced tank system holds 17 gallons of liquid and contains just one fill port for quick, convenient refilling. The sprayer is powered by a 2-gpm pump, and the low-pressure nozzles offer multiple spray patterns to apply liquid up to 11 feet wide. A spot sprayer is also provided for weed-spraying applications.

Designed for smooth, safe operation, the machine is well balanced and has a low center of gravity. It easily handles rough or uneven terrain, thanks to the sulky’s sealed bearing pivot. A centrally located kill switch and lanyard are added for extra safety.

The Spread-N-Spray offers a variety of standard ergonomic features to enhance operator comfort and ensure high productivity. These include cushioned handlebars and an anti-fatigue foot mat, as well as user-friendly controls.

Furthermore, maintenance is kept to a minimum on the Spread-N-Spray. There are few moving parts and cables to service, and the engine is easily accessible. Additionally, after every 25 hours of operation, the waterproof tachometer provides a visual indicator to lubricate the machine.

Other standard features include a side deflector, fluid-filled tires, extra nozzles, flag storage and a built-in cup holder. The Spread-N-Spray is backed by a two-year limited warranty.

In additon to the Spread-N-Spray, TurfEx offers a full line of spreaders, topdressers, sprayers, brooms, dethatchers and other gear for the turf industry.
