TD-460 Large Area Top Dresser
Features & Benefits
Performance
• The 75 ft3 (2.12 m3) load (struck) capacity allows customers to complete top dressing applications in substantially less time. Using the TD-460 to top dress one regulation football field at a rate of a ¼ inch in depth takes about 53 minutes. Using a standard small machine (23 ft3 (0.65 m3) capacity) to complete the same job takes about 128 minutes – 76 minutes longer on average.
• The 72 in (183 cm) wide spread width means customers will have fewer passes across the field (5 passes with the TD-460 is equivalent to 6 passes with 60 in (152 cm) wide machines).
• The Finishing Brush can be operated at 500 RPM to throw material down into the base of the turfgrass canopy for improved integration with the ground surface.
• Customers can add the side extension kit and increase the capacity for lightweight materials only.
Versatility
The TD-460 accurately spreads a wide variety of wet or dry materials including top dressing mixes, cart path stone, gravel, inorganic material, gypsum, composted products, peat, and wood chips.
Capability
The TD-460 is also a multifunctional trailer. Fold down or remove the Finishing Brush, unlock the multi-position tailgate and the TD-460 can be used for a variety of material handling and relocation tasks. The entire 75 ft3 (2.12 m3) load can be completely unloaded in less than 30 seconds!
Low Grounds Pressure, No Turf Damage
• TYCROP’s four wheel walking beam suspension provides the lowest possible ground pressure. Low ground pressure when fully loaded (depends on weight or material, air pressure in tires, etc.)
• This system also provides unmatched stability and full time 4 wheel contact with the terrain, minimizing the risk of damaging the turf during operation. This is proven technology used on all of TYCROP’s professional turf products since 1991.
Ease of Use
The TD-460 is a very well built, beautifully simple piece of equipment. It’s easy to learn and easy to operate. Simply connect the unit to your tractor, set the controls on the fender to the desired settings and now the operator can turn the unit on and off directly from the seat of the tractor. The speed of the floor belt and Finishing Brush can be set independently to provide superior user flexibility.
Safety
The lower, wider body of the TD-460 provides maximum stability. Customers can add a high performance 4-wheel electric brake system that includes a tractor mounted brake controller and foot pedal to ensure the safest braking performance and even braking synchronization with the tractor.
Low Maintenance
With very few moving parts the TD-460 is easy to service and maintain. There’s only two moving parts on the main unit – the Finishing Brush hydraulic motor and the hydraulic floor motor. These parts are manufactured in North America and they’re easy to source on a moment’s notice.
Ease of Use & Operator Control
• The TD-460 utilizes two simple control valves for adjusting the speed of floor belt and the Finishing Brush.
• The TYCROP designed, quick adjust multiple position tailgate (lock in any position) provides precise application rates and created less “drag” than other designs.
• Once on the move the operator can turn the TD-460 on or off right from the seat of the tow vehicle (and can also use ground speed to vary spread depth when needed).
Reliability and Service
• The floor belt is endless, no seams or staples to come apart.
• The TD-460 is a simple machine that runs off of the tractor’s hydraulics. Customers don’t have to worry about the safety or maintenance concerns associated with PTO shafts or independent hydraulic cooling systems.
• Recognized brands of high quality components and parts (can be sourced locally, from the authorized TYCROP Distributor, or from TYCROP directly).
• High quality workmanship. Every TYCROP machine is manufactured in a dedicated production environment designed to ensure consistent quality and craftsmanship.
