2010 SPORTS TURF & PROFESSIONAL TURF CARE EQUIPMENT
C O M E M E E T T H E FA M I LY. In 1967 Ted Smith founded Smithco with one product (the famous “Red Rider� Truck), faith in the future and a lot of hard work. He developed the Smithco bunker rake, an immediate success because it was packed with new ideas. Many of these products have become standard-setters in their categories like our field conditioners and liners. Today Smithco has grown considerably larger and more diversified but it continues to operate as a family business. And every year we still come up with new products packed with new ideas to help make athletic fields maintenance faster, easier and safer for your athletes.
