Summer performance is not only influenced by how much water is applied. It also depends on how efficiently moisture moves through the rootzone. Methods such as the TopChanger XP mechanically integrate sand directly into the active profile. During operation, water injection can also help move moisture deeper into the rootzone and support more uniform moisture distribution.

VGR Equipment has delivered and installed a TopChanger XP to our new dealer GrasTec in Iceland. With their short but very busy golf season, the TopChanger XP makes the difference! Get fresh sand into playing surfaces with hardly any disruption for players.

Warm periods often make differences in rootzone structure more visible. Shallow or inconsistent profiles usually react faster to drought stress and moisture fluctuations. At the same time, efficient water movement through the rootzone becomes increasingly important. Some methods mechanically integrate sand directly into the active profile — such as the TopChanger XP. During the operation, water injection can also help move moisture deeper into the rootzone and support more uniform water distribution within the profile.
What happens below the surface defines how the green performs above it.

The machines are used for decompacting the rootzone through water aeration and injecting fresh sand into the profile to improve percolation and root development.
With the BunkerBuddy, the complete operation can be efficiently carried out by a two-person team with minimal disruption to the playing surface.

Soil cores often tell the real story of a green. Where sand is distributed more evenly through the rootzone, turf managers frequently observe:

• more uniform rooting
• better water movement
• fewer distinct layers in the profile

Machines such as the TopChanger XP integrate sand directly into the active rootzone during operation. Structure below the surface often explains performance above it.

Root depth has a major influence on how greens perform during the season.
Deeper rooting can support:
• drought tolerance
• nutrient uptake
• surface stability
A uniform rootzone structure often helps roots develop more consistently. Machines such as the TopChanger XP integrate sand directly into the active rootzone during operation, helping build a more homogeneous soil profile. What happens below the surface defines how the green performs above it.
