DESCRIPTION
Transform your landscaping projects with the HS-300-XPW Hydroseeder from Turbo Turf. This robust 300-gallon skid type unit is powered by a 16 HP Vanguard Briggs & Stratton engine, coupled with a high-volume 4″ X 4″ centrifugal pump, capable of seeding 4000 square feet per load. Ideal for both residential and commercial use, it offers efficient material application at approximately 50 gallons per minute, ensuring quick and effective results. Whether you're seeding a small backyard or a large commercial area, the HS-300-XPW delivers power, versatility, and ease of use in one package.
PUMP
This unit uses a TP4VE centrifugal pump with 662 gallons a minute of flow and 50 P.S.I. of pressure. This pump was designed specifically for hydro seeding. The housing material is cast and it is very low maintenance. There are no grease fittings and the only maintenance required is to winterize if at the end of the season if it is stored where temperatures go below freezing. The pump impeller mounts on the end of the engine shaft so there is no power loss. Typically it can operate for 5 to 10 years with no maintenance. The only thing to be careful of is to not run it dry.
ENGINE
This unit comes with a 16 HP Vanguard Briggs & Stratton engine. This has proved to be a very reliable engine with a long life. The engine has a two year warranty and service for the engine is available at any authorized Briggs & Stratton engine dealer. This engine has a self contained fuel tank.
HOSE
This unit comes standard with 100 ft of 1 1/4″ I. D. hose. The hose we use is both strong and light weight. It is made from a poly material with a spiral reinforcement. Additional hose is available in 50 feet or 100 feet sections. The unit will handle up to 200 feet of hose.
BALE BUSTER
This unit comes equipped with a bale buster to speed loading. The bale buster allows you to add mulch in larger chunks and will quickly break them up. Dry mulch floats on top of the water. The bale buster takes the full flow of the pump and blows it across the top of the water picking up those chunks of mulch and smashing them against the back of the tank. Users can add mulch in chunks any size that will fit through the 16″ opening.
TRAILER
The HS-300-P is permanently attached to a DOT approved double axle trailer with brakes on both axles, DOT lighting, a breakaway, safety chains and an on-board test box for the breakaway battery. The trailer has a GVW of 7000 pounds and is 14’2″ long an 84″ wide. It is available with either a 2 5/16″ ball hitch or a pintle hitch.
