We at Turfware have been in the lawn care industry since 1975. When the first ride-on spreader was introduced we saw the potential to reduce wear and tear on our employees and increase productivity.

Due to disappointment with the machines, we purchased for our business, in 2006, we began development of our own ride-on spreader. We found most machines to be overly difficult to repair, perform poorly on average hills and to be difficult for new employees to operate.

We spent over 20,000 machine hours of heavy productive use on our own Trucks developing our TR360 before selling our first machine! Our spreader is built to be productive…not to fix!

In addition to operator ease, we were determined to overcome the greatest challenge for this industry, hills and slopes without the rototilling effect. After 20,000 hours of testing and development, we’re proud to introduce the TR360 designed to turn frustration into revenue. Innovative patent-pending designs combined with our in-house manufacturing are the key to the quality you’ll find in the TR360 spreader. The TR360 features all stainless-steel construction, laser cut, machined and assembled in the USA.

Our shop features state-of-the-art equipment for laser cutting, machining, forming and fabrication in addition to thermoforming of hopper lids. The TR360 is a durable, operator-friendly solution designed to outperform from accuracy and control in product application, hill and slope performance, and reliability from durable construction. The TR360 will soon become the workhorse in your fleet.
