METE-R-MATIC III® TOW TYPE TOP DRESSER

Light, Medium, And Heavy Applications With Uniform Distribution

Fine turf management now includes top dressing as an indispensable part of an overall program. For top dressing to be effective, it needs to be applied properly and uniformly. Just spreading material around no longer produces the desired turf quality.

The Mete-R-Matic® III, with a six-foot wide, 22.5 cubic foot capacity, can be quickly filled with a front-end loader. Using a simple pin hitch, you’re quickly attached to a tractor or turf-truck.

Because the Mete-R-Matic® III is a ground driven system, there are no hydraulics, pumps, or engines. It means that hook-up is as simple as pin hitch and that there is no possibility of oil leaks to leave telltale tracks on greens or sports turf.
You can turn your Mete-R-Matic® III top dresser (Model F-12D and newer) into an overseeder with just a few minor modifications.towtype2.jpg
