EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY FOCUS gasoline-powered turf sprayer. The 175- and 300-gallon models feature GeoLink Spray RTK GNSS technology. This smart system knows the user’ s precise location. By automatically turning individual nozzles on and off, overlaps are virtually eliminated, resulting in substantial product savings. Operators only need to map out the application area once, and the data will be saved for future applications.
TURFCO T5000 SPREADER / SPRAYER The Turfco T5000 is built for the whole field, thanks to a 60-gallon sprayer and a 325-pound spreader capacity. Coupled with a 23-hp. engine, it delivers speeds up to 7 mph. Accurately match up with the next pass using the intuitive steering wheel drive system and get unshakable stability on hills, eliminate turf-tearing, and reduce training time— new operators will be rolling in less than a week. The two-nozzle boomless system delivers a spray width of 13 feet, and the design also makes it more nimble than spray booms by letting operators glide past obstacles such as signposts and landscaping without slowing down. Add on the T-Flex15 tank and you can cover up to 300,000 square feet per fill and get the most productive applicator on the market.
Z TURF Z-SPRAY MAX SPREADER / SPRAYER With a 10-foot spray boom and 60-gallon tank, the 2026 Z-Spray Max is the largest, most productive spreader / sprayer Z Turf Equipment offers. The low center of gravity design places the operator between the drive wheels, and the heaviest components low and centrally within the corrosionresistant stainless-steel frame. The bi-directional spray boom springs both forward and back to avoid damage from contact. The patented foam marker activation system starts the marker and spray pump simultaneously whether using the toe switch or the panel-mounted rocker switch. A contoured operator pad and revised control layout provide increased comfort and economy of motion, while larger drive tires deliver a smoother ride. The patented magnetic operator pad removes easily, without tools, for access to the spray chart, or for maintenance, while a patented flip-up hopper eases hopper cleaning and engine access. sportsfieldmanagementonline. com March 2026 | SportsField Management
