Hi Everyone,
I bought the Bannerman mini topper last fall to help with the chore that topdressing is. I've only used it twice so far but it sure saves a lot of time getting the sand spread evenly. It doesn't do a perfect job but lays a pretty consistent layer. I just run over it with my levelling rake after spreading to work it in.
A little fussy to find the right setting for the spread. Works best with sand that is not too wet. Here's a pic I took this morning, lawn is cut as low as my Caltrimmer will go and ready to start spreading. Any help spreading 2 yds of sand would be appreciated!

Very cool @Shindoman . Can I ask what you paid for it?

I've looked into the TruFlow 24D.

 

[Shindoman]

I paid $900 in Canada. They are manufactured in Canada so I'm not sure on usd pricing.

Here's a pic of my lawn after I spread some sand with the Bannerman before I raked it in. Does a decent job of getting a nice even layer down. I do a forward pass and then another backwards.
Then I did a perpendicular pass. Took me an hr. to do 1 1/2 yds on 1500 sq ft.. I deserve a cold beer!

Are those train tracks behind the house?

There is a rail line behind our house but it is 120' down the hill and not in the picture for sure. What makes you say that?

When we bought this home 25 yrs. ago my wife insisted on a view with sunsets. We are so blessed.

Did you buy the sand drum option? Or is it stock?

 

[Shindoman]

I did get the sand drum.

 

[TulsaFan]

It would me nice if @Ware, @Redtenchu, @high leverage, and anyone else (max 10) around the Tulsa/NWA area would be willing to go in on one of these as a group share/buy? If someone moves away, we sell their share to someone else.

I am in the Norman area and I am wondering if this is something that Crosslands rents...? I have a friend that is a greens-keeper at Westwood GC here in Norman and I will ask if he knows anyone selling a used walk behind top dresser.

(Should have know Crosslands would be no help at all. I called and asked they had or knew anyone that had walk-behind top dressers and he said 'NOPE' and hung up... :roll: )

Is it possible to use the Bannerman mini topper on hilly lawns or will it be too heavy to push?

Just don't fill it up full.

Man what a view. I'm super jeleous. I have stare at a bunch of stupid wind turbines that ruined our beautiful sunsets. Nice lawn too!

@Shindoman Considering this. Still enjoying yours?
