Why do you use vibration in the True-Surface® Trekker™ Vibe V™?
The True-Surface® Trekker™ Vibe V™ uses vibration for 3 basic reasons:
- Controllable Results – True-Surface® Vibratory Greens Rollers use vibratory action to deliver controllable results. By varying the speed of your triplex motor and adjusting the Select-A-Vibe™ Dial, you can create consistently true conditions on your golf course greens. Conditions become so accurate you can provide greens within 2-4 inches of each other in a stimpmeter reading.
- A Lightweight Product – Using vibration keeps us so lightweight. The Trekker™ Vibe V™ weighs about the same as your cutting reels. This means you can achieve healthy greens without adding stress to your triplex hydraulic motor.
- Versatility – Using vibration gives the Trekker™ Vibe V™ more versatility than any other golf course greens roller. Its adjustable vibratory action allows you to roll for turf health, speed, and consistency, while also letting you vibrate-in sand topdressing, remove dew, and smooth the greens after core aerification. No other greens roller gives you so many options!
How does the True-Surface® Trekker™ Greens Care Collection work?
The True-Surface® Trekker™ Greens are Collection (link to Trekker GCC page) consists of 1 frame that will attach directly to your walk behind greens mower. It has 11 different interchangeable Inserts designed to fit inside that frame. To ensure a secure fit, the True-Surface® Trekker™ frame loads its Inserts from the top of the frame – eliminating risk of dropping out and damaging your greens. Each True-Surface® Insert can be lifted out of the frame with ease and replaced with another Insert. With 11 interchangeable inserts to choose from, you will be certain to find a greens care tool that fits your needs!
