THE EXPERTS PUT FAIRWAY ROLLING TO THE TEST
“Research confirms that fairway rolling results in firmer surfaces it significantly decreased clipping yield and localized dry spot, which should lead to longer ball roll. Most important is the localization of dollar spot, which should lead to economic savings.”
–Thomas A. Nikolai, Ph.D., College of Agriculture, Michigan State University
“Third year of testing indicates up to 65 percent reduction in dollar spot.”
–Geunhwa Jung and Jay Popko; University of Massachusetts
The 5-gang Smithco Ultra 15 Fairway Roller with balanced hydraulic system keeps ground pressure even over its 15-ft. swath.
At 10 mph, the Ultra 15 will roll 18 acres an hour. The 3 gang Ultra 10 Fairway Roller has a 10-ft. swath to provide 12 acres an hour of productivity at 10 mph. Both come with money-saving tow-behind design.
