Introducing the Annual Equipment & Product Buyer’s Guide
ANNUAL EQUIPMENT & PRODUCT BUYER'S GUIDE WELCOME
This year’s Buyer’s Guide contains 257 entries from 38 supplier member companies. These entries include specific pieces of equipment, multiple model numbers with varying features, other products, and parts. 174 of these entries include photos. All of these products have been developed to improve the turfgrass producer’s efficiency and profitability. 17 new and/or updated tools for 2023 kick off this special guide starting on page 23. The 38 supplier members have provided information on aerators, wetting agents and everything in between. These companies support the ongoing activities and efforts of Turfgrass Producers International. Please give them special consideration when making your next purchase. Please use the Equipment Buyer’s Guide Contents box below to quickly find product categories. Again, this year’s Guide categories coincide with Supplier Category Types in the Membership Directory (printed and online). This should make it easier to find the categories you are familiar with and seeking. If you have any questions or would like additional details on the products featured in this guide, please contact the suppliers listed on pages 112 and 113. You also can use this listing to see where their advertisements are located. In addition, many companies have provided QR codes by their descriptions or company listing which you can scan with a mobile device to be directly connected to the product or company information on their websites. In the digital version of Turf News, the listed websites are “live.” Just click on the websites you are interested in and be connected directly to that site.
Editors’ Note: This is not a complete listing of each supplier’s products, but items they have chosen to highlight for this issue. Check out their websites or contact your supplier representative for additional information on their complete product line. All claims and statements are those made by the companies submitting the information.
