ROLLING YOUR COURTS

Tennis can be played on a variety of surfaces ... grass, clay / Har-Tru and hard courts being the most popular.  The greensIRON 3900 turf roller may be used to roll clay / Har-Tru or grass courts but the greensIRON 6200 is designed specifically for this type of maintenance activity. Wood Bay’s greensIRON 6200 Turf Roller is light weight and is easily manoeuvreable on all types of court surfaces (500 lbs - 277 kg) with specialty options (lights, electric start, turf broom).  The 6200 also handles clay extremely well. So, whether your facility has grass or clay or a combination of both playing surfaces, the greensIRON 6200 turf roller is key to preparing and maintaining the perfect playing surface.
