You
don’t want to end up wrestling with equipment or suffer the

Aerators
- Mechanical,
self-propelled core aerators are recommended. If you only do one
thing to improve your turf, this is it - aerate.
|
Mowers
- Mow
according to grass type and grass height. From walk-behind to riding
to multiple rotors to self-propelled, there are a lot of machines. Use the
right one for the job.

Sod
Cutters and Edgers - Reduce
lip buildup and keep the edge looking nice. This one tool can make
an immediate change in the safety, playability, and looks of your field.
Yup, the sod cutter is a surpisingly good part of your arsenal of
baseball field equipment and tools.
|
Spreaders
for seed and fertilizer - Walk
behind cyclone spreaders are preferred for even coverage. The hard
part is getting the right setting to spread the right amount of seed or
fertilizer.
|
Steam
rollers -
Roll the dirt and the turf to keep it level and firm. A
steamroller across your grass? Yes! One of the tricks of the trade.
|
Thatchers
- Remove
dead grass, but also used it for shallow tilling and light weed removal
on your dirt areas. Can even help with your edging with an established
egde.
|
Tractors
- A tractor
with a loader, rear tiller, and a hitch will multiply your efforts.
Use it move or spread large amounts of dirt, sod scraps, or to level large
areas.
|
Assorted
Tools -
Adequate
field maintenance requires an assortment of tools. But with only
a few you can do just about anything.
