PESTICIDES

Bayer Crop Science Bayer Specticle® Specticle®

FLO FLO is a versatile, pre-emergent herbicide that provides warm-season, broad-spectrum control

of most major weeds including Poa annua, crabgrass and goosegrass. It delivers superior protection against key grassy weeds plus more than 50 broadleaf weeds, and its long-term residual means fewer applications. Specticle FLO effectively controls weeds at the lowest use rates on the market, requiring up to 40 times less active ingredients than other pre-emergent solutions. Specticle FLO saves time, fuel, and labor costs by reducing the number of treatments needed to achieve optimal results, making it one of the most effective tools in any turfgrass manager’s arsenal.

ROCK REMOVAL/RAKES

Kongskilde Industries, Inc. Stonebear Rock Picker The Stonebear is designed for the removal and collection of stones from cultivated land, turf sod operations, sports fields, and golf courses in one operation. It is designed to collect stones in sizes from approximately 1 in. (28mm) to 12-in. (30cm). A working width of 13-ft. (4m) or 17-ft. (5.2m) provides for a one-person operation with greater capacity and efficiency. The Stonebear can be operated with a 72 hp or 80 hp tractor. Its rakes are designed to follow field contours, rotating in the opposite direction to forward travel. This draws the rocks to the machine’s center. Tines then throw the rocks into the 2.4 cu. yd. (1.8 cu. m) hopper, which has a tipping height of 7 ft. 6 in. (2.3m) for unloading.
