STMA IN ACTION News from the Sports Turf Managers Association 44 SportsTurf | January 2017 www.sportsturfonline.com TOOLS & EQUIPMENT sportsturf_january_final.indd 1 12/1/16 3:46 PM P R O D U C T S AT S T M A GameDay athletic field marking paint Pioneer Athletics has established a new and brilliant standard color pallet for its GameDay premium athletic field marking paint. By utilizing new advanced colorant technologies, sports turf managers will now be able to enjoy consistent color intensity regardless of whether they apply the paint straight or diluted. This advancement gives flexibility to those turf managers who sometimes need to stretch their pails a little with dilution. The new colorant system will also benefit those who need custom GameDay colors for their sports fields. The new standard colors will first be displayed in booth 601 at the STMA trade show in Orlando. Pioneer Athletics Campey Imants introducing equipment at STMA Conference Campey Imants is showcasing their Vredo Super Compact/Compact and Turf Fix Series and the Koro FTM Universe rotor at this month's STMA Conference. The Vredo series seeders are accurate and extremely precise disc seeders; due to the unique action of the Vredo seed application, the grass seed is placed in direct contact with the soil in a V-shaped slit, at a pre-set depth of between 5 mm and 25 mm deep. The slits are then closed by a compaction roller and a level surface re- established. A double row of discs give 35 mm seed spacing, providing a one-pass operation with no disruption to play. The Vredo Turf Fix Series is a compact, multi-function, for seeding, dressing and aerating turf. This multi-function machine is perfect for professional landscapers, contractors and clubs, looking to carry out a number of renovation and maintenance tasks with just one machine. A new machine to the US is the Raycam Uni Rake, which will also be on display at STMA trade show.
