My Project

This project is our softball and baseball teams. Our fields are infested with goatheads. We are looking to acquire this machine to help eradicate the plants by eliminating the seeds.

If you have ever stepped on a goathead you know they are the worst plant on the planet.

This tool looks like it will help get the job done. We plan on rolling every week that the dirt is accessible. It has good reviews and we think this could be a great addition to our field maintenance supplies.

Please consider a donation to help save a ball players’ fingers.
