About the ProPass 180 Top
Dresser
Features and Benefits
The ProPass 180 Top Dresser is a lightweight, multi-
purpose Top Dresser for the turf grass maintenance
industry.
•
It is offered in two models, one with standard
hydraulics (SH) and one with electric hydraulics (EH).
•
It spreads various materials, including sand, top dress
mix, screened and composted material, lime, and
gypsum.
•
It has the lightest footprint in the industry, resulting in
less turf damage and lower maintenance costs.
•
The easy-to-attach Twin Spinner option (no tools
required) delivers superior consistency across the
entire spread width – whether spreading narrow to
wide or light to heavy.
•
The easy-to-attach Vortex Brush option can spread a
variety of materials in heavy applications between
1.2 m (4 ft) and 2.1 m (7 ft) wide.
•
It features a seamless belt for enhanced durability.
•
It features an easy-to-adjust rear gate.
•
Without options installed, it can be used as a small
capacity material mover.
•
Both the tow-behind and the TYCROP direct connect
chassis feature a four-wheel, walking beam
suspension, which helps the ProPass navigate uneven
terrain while maintaining a smooth ride, and an even
weight transfer to the ground.
•
The modular design allows the ProPass to be easily
and inexpensively converted from a tow-behind
configuration to a truck-mount configuration, or vice
versa.
•
The hand-held on/off pendant on the SH model allows
the ProPass and its options to be activated from the
driver’s position.
•
The control pendant on the EH model allows full
control of the ProPass and its options from the driver’s
position.
Components
Base Model
Because the ProPass is a modular system, the ProPass
Base Model is built and sold separately from its options.
The Base Model consists of a material hopper, a conveyor
belt system, electro-hydraulic controls, a rear gate, and the
belt cleaning scraper (Figure 4).
The Base Model is mounted on a chassis. Four different
chassis types are available, depending on your operating
requirements:
•
TYCROP tow-behind chassis
•
TYCROP direct connect
•
Toro Workman truck-mount chassis
•
John Deere ProGator truck-mount chassis
