Turfco improves T3000 spreader and sprayer The redesigned T3000 spreader and sprayer maintains the overall compact design that can fit through a 36-inch gate while still offering 6- and 9-foot wide spreading widths. Optional electric start available. A 16-amp charging system provides greater versatility in mounting accessories. Cruise control helps maintain speed while freeing oper- ators' hands to control spreading and spraying. "Customer feedback is the driving force behind these changes," said Scott Kinkead, Turfco's vice president. A new variable speed diaphragm pump features Viton valves for extended life and minimized maintenance. The T3000's unique, adjustable, high-pressure, high-velocity systems creates larger droplets for the best spray on the market with less drift and fewer callbacks. An improved spinner design is longer lasting and easier to maintain.

Underhill New, versatile outdoor synthetic adhesive NORDOT Adhesive #34P-4 from Syn- thetic Surfaces Inc. is a new, one com- ponent outdoor adhesive that was designed to install and/or repair syn- thetic turf and other outdoor surfaces in widely variable and sometimes hos- tile weather conditions. It fills the need for a versatile adhesive which allows the outdoor installation and repair sea- son to expand from only "fair weather" days to year-round. Product can be applied to a dry or damp surface at any outdoor temperature and humidity in which a mechanic can work. It is particularly useful in cold weather, when installations and re- pairs usually stop because, to our knowledge, no other adhesive can be used for installations from hot desert temperatures down to below freezing. Synthetic Surfaces Inc. Broyhill's Stadium Vac Broyhill's Stadium Vac is a totally self-contained vacuum for turf vehi- cles and RTV's. Unit features a new 20.8 hp Honda engine and wireless remote controls for suction hose height (up-down) and distance (in and out from vehicle). Trash is collected in the 1 cubic yard container and no trash goes thru the impeller. Perfect for parks & rec departments and along bike paths. Broyhill www.stma.org SportsTurf 35
