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.
What happens below the surface defines how the green performs above it.

Healthy Soil. Better Turf.

We’re excited to be exhibiting at The Australian Sports Turf Managers Association Melbourne 2026 Conference and showcasing the VGR Equipment TopChanger XP on Stand 69.

Ruud de Deugd will be on the stand for the week to talk about how the TopChanger XP is changing the way the industry approaches compaction relief, organic matter dilution and surface performance, all while keeping surfaces firm, clean and back in play in a matter of minutes.

Come and see firsthand how water injection and sand integration can:
• Improve soil structure
• Enhance drainage and oxygen movement
• Reduce organics and thatch
• Strengthen root development
• Maintain faster, firmer playing surfaces

If you’re serious about turf, come and have a chat with us at Stand 69.

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.

Greens often show us what is happening beneath the surface. The structure of the rootzone influences water movement, rooting and surface consistency. Looking at soil cores can reveal how sand and organic matter are distributed through the profile. Machines such as the TopChanger XP work by integrating sand directly into the rootzone during the operation, helping build a more uniform soil structure over time. What happens below the surface defines how the green performs above it.

"The key question is how to sustainably stabilise the rootzone with minimal disturbance”
Ruud de Deugd explains why the traditional maintenance model is reaching its limits, and why he believes sand injection using water pressure is set to become the new standard in modern green management.
