Overview
The TB 220
TM
Turf Brush is the second generation grooming tool with two
cylindrical brushes which rotate in the same direction. The unit is used by
groundskeepers to improve the appearance, quality, and the growing conditions
of turf on golf courses and numerous sports fields. Various vehicles can be used
to tow the brush such as lightweight tractors and utility vehicles.
The TB 220

Turf Brush can be used in several different applications. Utilized as
a groomer, the brush will lift up the bent-over grass blades so that a mower can
cleanly cut them. The brush can also be used to incorporate topdressing
materials into the canopy of the turf. The rotating action of the brushes
integrates the topdressing much deeper into the canopy so the materials are not
removed the next time the turf is mowed. The TB 220
TM
Turf Brush is a superb
tool for backfilling materials into holes left in the turf after an aeration operation
has been completed.
Both brushes will begin to rotate as the unit is pulled along the ground.
To travel from work area to work area, the operator raises the brushes by means
of a high speed electric actuator. This lifts the brushes to a safe distance above
the turf.
A new feature of the TB 220
TM
Turf Brush is the ability to remove aerifier cores
from the green surface. The TB 220
TM
Turf Brush will move a surprisingly large
amount of sand or topdressing material and now, due to the fully enclosed and
sealed side covers, aerifier core removal should not present a problem.
