Hydraulic Hose Assemblies

It is a far better choice than the collapsible hose some competitive units offer. Collapsible hose must be fully unrolled to use and needs to be flushed clean to roll up to move to the next job. Hose holders mounted on the side of the tank provide a convenient and easy to use storage area. There are also 3 nozzles provided as standard equipment on this unit. You may see some sites for manufacturers who only make mechanically agitated units who try to say that jet machines aren’t good or only spray thin mixes. Jet machines spray a very nice slurry that will grow a great lawn.
This equipment is worked into the price of your hydroseeding service. If your service has to prepare your lawn by removing rocks, sticks, or crabgrass before beginning, an additional cost may be included in the final price. The equipment required for effective hydroseeding is costly. Hydroseeding requires a large tank to hold and continually mix the slurry, much like a cement mixer keeps moving to keep the cement evenly mixed. Mass Hydroseeding provides commercial and residential hydroseeding services in the Cape Cod, MA area. The first thing will, of course, be the seeds, and these can be bought from any one of a few different companies that sell do it yourself hydroseeding equipment.

This image shows the aftermath of using the wrong fitting. Avoid excessive flexing, kinking, tensile and side loads, and severe vibrations. Hose and end couplings are designed to work together as an integrated system. Hose from one manufacturer is usually not compatible with connectors made by another. A common misconception is that if a coupling is compatible  with a hose that meets SAE or EN specifications, the coupling will work with all hose that meets the specs. From our Straw Blowers which launched a new industry to our market leading HydroSeeders® and Bark & Mulch Blowers.
With the battery disconnected, and following proper OSHA procedures, crawl into the tank to inspect the interior surfaces of the slurry tank including the agitators.

This can involve anything from using the wrong fitting to poor routing of the assembly. Manufacturers provide training material to help prevent these problems. Temperature relates to both the fluid conveyed and that of the surrounding environment.

Fill up the tank with water while running the engine at full RPM. Do this while engaging the paddles for a proper mix. Like the jet agitated unit, the tank needs to be filled to about 3/4 full of water. The HS-100 can also be equipped with what we call a “Seed & Spray” option which is a hose reel and hose for spraying herbicides, insecticides and fertilizers.
With this agitator, you can add entire bundles straight into the tank. Preferably, turn your engine on and let it run for at least 50 seconds. Consequently, open that valve and close all other valves for those units with a bale buster.

Generally, it’s recommended to leave hydroseeding to an expert who can ensure mistakes are avoided and get your lawn in top-notch shape much faster. Improperly applied hydroseeding slurry can encourage weeds and crabgrass to take over. Using too much or too little hydroseeding slurry can drown your existing grass or result in spotty grass growth easily overtaken by weeds. Not only is experience and knowledge required to mix and apply the slurry properly, but it’s possible to damage your lawn by adding too much water or fertilizer to your mixture. Hydroseeding helps grass seed germinate faster than typical dry seed. It takes anywhere from a week to 3 weeks for a hydroseeded lawn to grow.

I have seen people say they could seed as fast with a 150 gallon unit and water tank as someone with a 500 gallon unit and no water tank. The more powerful units are close to the same slurry a paddle machine can do and the more economical units still spray a nice thick slurry. The T60 HydroSeeder is perfect for the small to mid-size hydroseeding projects on residential and commercial properties, sports fields, apartment and condominium complexes, golf courses, parks and more.

Prevent erosion on your Massachusetts commercial property and hydroseed in difficult areas where you need grass to grow quickly. Grass sod is very heavy and requires a significant amount of labor, so it is more expensive than hydroseeding. Paddle machines using a gear pump require more daily maintenance such as frequent greasing of the hydroseeding hose pump as well as greasing the agitator shaft bearings. Paddle machines can run a slightly thicker slurry allowing you to apply more material in less time. McGill Hose carries the best selection of industrial hose fittings in the industry… our experienced technicians know that safe hose assemblies begin with superior coupling retention.
Sod generally runs about 2-3 times the cost of Hydroseeding — making it the most expensive option of the three. 【Easy to Use】Convenient folding handle, convenient storage, easy use of seed spray kettle, providing a perfect solution for homeowners who need to repair the irregular lawn.
