Fast and Easy User Friendly Loading

With the powerful mechanical agitation system, loading is quick and easy. This is the key to producing many more tank loads every day.

• Load and Mix Almost Instantly

The height of a TurfMaker makes loading easy. Place the bag of mulch onto the top of the tank and then open the bag. After the bag is open, load the mulch into the tank by simply pushing blocks of the mulch into the opening. This is much easier than lifting mulch up and then loading it into an elevated box. On a long hot day, it can make a huge difference.

The TurfMaker ® Model 390 hydroseeder, with mechanical agitation, is a cost effective alternative to jet agitation machines. Typically, jet agitation hydroseeders are limited to soupy slurries of paper mulch. Soupy paper mulch applications washout easily and frequently yields spotty seed germination. Poor grass growing results make unhappy customers. The TurfMaker ® 390 easily mixes and pumps thicker wood mulch slurries associated with Sod Quality Results™ and happy satisfied customers.

The TurfMaker ® 390 fully loaded weighs about 4,500 pounds.  With a base of 47 inches in width and 77½ inches in length, it is designed to fit easily in the back of a standard bed pick-up truck.  Getting in and out of tight areas becomes much quicker and easier when there is no trailer involved to slow things down.

The TurfMaker ® 390 is a complete 390 gallon hydroseeding machine with mechanical agitation and a positive displacement pump. Normal mulch loading is 125 lbs of 100% wood mulch, 125 lbs of any Bonded Fiber Matrix product or 175 lbs of paper mulch. The base model hydroseeder comes ready to use, equipped with 75 feet of hose and one hose application nozzles.

When applying wood mulch products at moderate application rates with a TurfMaker ® 390 hydroseeder, one full tank load will cover about 3,600 sq. ft, when applying at a rate of 1,500 pounds per acre.  When applying Bonded Fiber Matrix products at recommended application rates, one tank load will cover about 1,800 sq. ft. Paper mulch products can be applied at typical jet agitation machine application rates and one tank load will cover about 9,500 sq. ft. Most TurfMaker ® operators seldom make soupy, paper mulch applications.

When water is readily available for quick filling, a TurfMaker ® 390 hydroseeder will easily produce three tank loads of application in one hour. When applying quality wood mulch products, along with tackifiers for Sod Quality Results™, three tank loads will cover from 7,000 sq. ft. to 8,000 sq. ft. Jet agitation machines, due to difficulty of loading and clogging, seldom get as much as one tank load per hour, and that tank load is applying soupy paper mulch.

For really small jobs or small touch-ups, a TurfMaker ® 390 hydroseeder will mix partial loads. A 50 lb bag of 100% wood mulch can be mixed with 135 gallons of water and cover about 1,000 sq. ft. A 50 lb bag of any Bonded Fiber Matrix product can be loaded with 125 gallons of water and cover about 500 sq. ft. A 40 lb bag of paper mulch can be mixed with 80 gallons of water and cover up to 3,000 sq. ft.

The TurfMaker ® 390 hydroseeder has all the features found on standard hydroseeding machine. However, it is missing some of the super features found on most TurfMaker hydroseeder. The most significant of these options is the self-filling and clear water hose flushing system. This system can be added to the Model 390 for $850. This add-on option is a great investment and highly recommended. Other additional features include 200’ of TurfMaker ® hose and storage reel, a long life pump, and various engine upgrades. Any of these additional features can be added at any time before or after your purchase.

The TurfMaker ® 390 hydroseeder provides a cost effective alternative to jet agitation machine. Many jet agitation machine buyers have wasted money, time in their career, and performed poor grass planting services for their clientele, just because they did not know what it takes to produce good results with the hydroseeding process. Spraying colored water is not good business. Providing grass planting services with appropriate applications of quality mulch will produce Sod Quality Results™ nearly every time. This good service results in satisfied customers and good future referral business.

The TurfMaker ® Model 390 hydroseeder, with mechanical agitation is by far the best choice, even when the buyer is faced with a limited budget.
