Turfmaker - Model 390 -Hydroseeder Machine
The Turfmaker 390 is a Real Hydroseeding Machine with Mechanical Agitation Priced to Compete and Out Perform Larger Jet Agitated Machines. The TurfMaker 390 Hydroseeder, with mechanical agitation, is a cost effective alternative to jet agitation machines. Typically, jet agitation hydroseeders are limited to soupy slurries of paper mulch. Soupy paper mulch applications washout easily and frequently yields spotty seed germination. Poor grass growing results make unhappy customers. The TurfMaker 390 easily mixes and pumps thicker wood mulch slurries associated with Sod Quality Results™ and happy satisfied customers.
The TurfMaker 390 fully loaded weighs about 4,500 pounds. With a base of 47 inches in width and 77½ inches in length, it is designed to fit easily in the back of a standard bed pick-up truck. Getting in and out of tight areas becomes much quicker and easier when there is no trailer involved to slow things down. TurfMaker 390 Hydroseeder
The TurfMaker 390 is a complete 390 gallon hydroseeding machine with mechanical agitation and a positive displacement pump. Normal mulch loading is 125 lbs of 100% wood mulch, 125 lbs of any Bonded Fiber Matrix product or 175 lbs of paper mulch. The base model hydroseeder comes ready to use, equipped with 75 feet of hose and one hose application nozzles.
When water is readily available for quick filling, a TurfMaker 390 hydroseeder will easily produce three tank loads of application in one hour. When applying quality wood mulch products, along with tackifiers for Sod Quality Results™, three tank loads will cover from 7,000 sq. ft. to 8,000 sq. ft. Jet agitation machines, due to difficulty of loading and clogging, seldom get as much as one tank load per hour, and that tank load is applying soupy paper mulch.
For really small jobs or small touch-ups, a TurfMaker 390 hydroseeder will mix partial loads. A 50 lb bag of 100% wood mulch can be mixed with 135 gallons of water and cover about 1,000 sq. ft. A 50 lb bag of any Bonded Fiber Matrix product can be loaded with 125 gallons of water and cover about 500 sq. ft. A 40 lb bag of paper mulch can be mixed with 80 gallons of water and cover up to 3,000 sq. ft.
The TurfMaker 390 hydroseeder, with mechanical agitation is by far the best choice, even when the buyer is faced with a limited budget.
A TurfMaker 390® can be loaded with any kind of mulch, thoroughly mixed, and ready to spray in 3-4 minutes. It takes about 10-12 minutes to spray a tank load. With three 50 lb. bags of any premium mulch, such as Flexterra® or Soil Guard®, it is easy to apply 9 bags and cover 9,000 square feet in an hour with good coverage.
Significant testing has shown that spraying erosion control blanket mulch products as appropriate application rates yield better results than conventional rolled-on blankets. The TurfMaker 390 can cover 6,000 sq. ft. in about an hour with thicker application.
The TurfMaker 390 with the standard 13 HP Honda has the power to pump through at least 300 feet of hose.
