“It is just an outstanding machine. SIDEKICK pushes the turf together with a consistent amount of pressure eliminating any seams. It creates no damage or stress to the plant that just had its roots cut off. In the past, we used 12 men pushing and pulling with rakes. Many times, this would rip or tear in the sod with a rake or a rake would damage an edge. There is none of that with this machine. It allows my staff to focus and spend time on other details creating an even better install. At the Rose Bowl, having enough time is always an issue. We’re sodding one day and playing the next. SIDEKICK cuts the time down by 10-15% and keeps my staff fresh so while sod is being laid, they can be prepping and painting the field for a game the next day.

Yes, and you get a better install as well. It provides the field with tighter seams, and the first year of using it I was able to reduce my overall costs by not having so much labor over time. We were able to reduce topdressing material, as seams are no longer an issue. I had less sod that was damaged.”
