One tractor to maintain an entire ball field - Ventrac Ballpark Groomer & Renovator. https://www.ventrac.com/

The purpose of a ballpark groomer is to keep fields playable, safe and in good condition for all those playing the game. The Ventrac Ballpark Groomer and Renovator attachments are perfect for schools and municipalities that have several ball fields to maintain and limited man power. Efficiently and regularly maintaining fields with only a single operator can save dramatically on labor costs and time. Breaking in a field in early spring with a Ventrac Ballpark Groomer and Renovator allows for one operator to accomplish the task in a couple hours, which replaces a team of volunteers that might take over a day to complete.

Many people are maintaining these fields using basic equipment that does nothing more than drag the field. This is problematic because over time a traditional drag simply pulls the dirt to the outfield and does not completely fill in low spots on the surface of the field. This groomer and renovator combination assists with removing and preventing low spots, removing weed creep, performing basic field leveling, helping to dry out fields after a rainstorm and performing basic dragging.

The Ventrac Ballpark Groomer and Renovator consists of two separate attachments that we recommend using together, but can be purchased separately. Four basic configurations are suggested to assist with the following field conditions or objectives. The first configuration is for treating wet field conditions or fields with a dry, hard top surface. The second configuration can be used for weed management or edge line shaping. The third configuration is for infield leveling and low spot maintenance. And the final basic recommendation of settings is for finish grooming.

The three working components on the front renovator include the renovation blades, scarifier tines, and leveling bar. The blades are used to cut edge lines, cut weeds out and help remove high spots. Scarifier tines work in tandem with the renovation blades to break apart the loose material that flows over them. The tines can also be used to incorporate extra infield mix that has been spread on the field. While the leveling bar carries material to maintain a level surface or to fill in low spots

The rear groomer consists of a leveling bar, rear roller, spike bar and optional brush kit. When the rear attachment is used, the roller will always be on the ground. This is very important because this roller helps pack material into low spots and the application can be controlled by the addition of weights on the back of the groomer. The spike bar is used in wet conditions to help aid in the drying process and to break apart hard surface conditions. The optional brush kit is ideal for dry conditions to help leave a finished groomed surface.

While most Ballpark Groomers are only built for a singular use, the Ventrac is a versatile tractor that can be used with a finish mower to maintain the outfield. Many schools and municipalities use a Ventrac for other applications around the property and find that the Ballpark Groomer and Renovator only saves them more time and labor. Other uses for Ventrac attachments on the ball field include use of the Turbine Blower for drying fields off after a heavy rainstorm. The Power Bucket moves new infield mix to anywhere on the field. The Power Rake attachment is great for fields that have heavy growth and need more renovation work at the beginning of the season.
