When asked how he liked his Trebro AutoStack, Joe Boyink replied "It is an amazing machine and is ridiculously reliable"
Joe Boyink, Ludema and Boyink Sod Farm, Clarksville, MI

The AutoStack was one of the better investments I have made. We can react to the needs of our customers faster and with less labor. It has given us added flexibility in how we run our operation.
ERIC HEUVER - Eagle Lake Farms, Alberta, Canada

The Trebro AutoStack is the best "back saving" piece of machinery ever invented. Thanks to our two AutoStacks we have reduced our sod harvesting crew from 12 men down to 2 very happy operators, Thank you Trebro.
GARY KOGELMANN - Kogelmann's Creek-side Sod Farms, Macomb Michigan

Thanks to the Trebro AutoStack and HarveStack, with a total field crew of just Jason and myself, we can harvest, and load on average 12 semi truck loads of sod per day. The labor savings is incredible, and when things get real busy 20 truck loads in not out of the question. Also we love the quality of cut, and reliable performance that our Trebro Harvesters give us.
Lee Evans and Jason Anderson - Quantico Creek Sod Farm, HEBRON, MD

I was escorting a few people around the farm one day and one of them asked "how do you like your AutoStack"? I answered, "you'll have to pry it from my cold dead fingers".
Gary Blocker - Zim Sod, Zim, Minnesota

We purchased our first Trebro Automatic turf harvester in 2006. The new technology of the Trebro is a great answer to the comprehensive labor issue that we face on the farm and our customers face in the market place. Our farm management staff compliments the production efficiency and the labor savings. Our sales & marketing staff praise the quality of the finished product. Our customers, initially apprehensive to change, now realize the labor savings on the installation side... which equates to higher profit margins for our customers. A profitable customer translates into a loyal customer that takes great care of his accounts payable... and that makes everyone successful.

At Beverley Turf Farms we've become Enlightened. Piling sod off the ground behind a Ryan Cutter in the early 70's to a Brouwer Sod Harvesters in the mid 70's and for far too long. Until 2000 and our first Autostack and the beginning of our enlightenment. We received our second Autostack this spring.
Peter McCuaig - Beverley Turf Farms

I bought my first Trebro AutoStack in 2005 because I needed a machine to replace the escalating cost of labor in our area. I saved so much in the first year that I got a second unit this fall. I also save a ton of money on blade expense thanks to the Trebro cutter head design. It is incredible how much we can cut on a single set of blades, up to 100,000 rolls before we replace them. Thanks Trebro it is a great machine that has made my life so much easier.
Cam Fairty - Fairgreen Sod Farms, Ltd., Markham, ON

Our Trebro has been a positive experience in many ways. It has increased our production speed, freed up men for other jobs, and significantly reduced the amount of scrap with it's high quality of cut.
JOHN & JAY SAVAGE - Savage Farms, West Deerfield, Massachusetts

I have been very satisfied with the performance and reliability of the HarveStack machines. The quality of cut is outstanding - this is what sold me on Trebro.
MIKE WAGNER - M & M Sod Farms, Illinois

The HarveStack is the tool of the sod industry and every turf grower should have one in their toolbox. We are very impressed with how easy the pallets handle and how neat they look. We now offer a consistent quality product that our landscape customers truly appreciate.
STEVE PETERSEN - Petersen Turf Farms, Ontario, Canada

We have operated two HarveStacks for a year now. The significant labour savings these machines provide has enabled us to concentrate our efforts on producing higher quality turf. Our customers prefer the 24" rolls that have quickly become an industry standard. We like our HarveStacks so much that we have ordered two more!
STEVE & ALEX EDWARDS - InTurf, York, England

The Trebro HarveStack affords me the opportunity to make up for the guaranteed labor force I lost by having four girls. The highly efficient productivity of this machine has been very beneficial to my family’s turf operation. Thanks for keeping me in business.
JOHN HOGDAL - Hogdal Sod Farms, Minnesota

Our HarveStack is a truly amazing machine. It no longer matters whether we need to cut 5 pallets of turf or 50 pallets - this machine takes all the work out of harvesting and lets us concentrate on raising turf. Plus, add on to that Trebro's exceptional customer service. We wish we had this machine years ago.
GARY TURNER - Turner Turf Farms, Washington, Utah

Dependable employees have always been hard to find. Now our HarveStack is ready to go when we are. The labor savings have more than made up for the cost of the machine.
THE ROBINSONS - A&L Superior Quality Sod, Inc., Lino Lakes, Minnesota

The HarveStack has transformed what used to be a stressful, tiring and unpopular task into a stress free, enjoyable operation. We have also been surprised to find there is less wastage and greater ability to harvest over undulations in a turf field.
SUSAN & PETER LOLE - Teal Turf, Worcester, England

As long as I am harvesting sod , I hope I never have to be without one again.
John Simmons - Panhandle Turf LLC, Lillian, AL

Working on the sod farm has always been great but showing the boys up on the Autostack is the best!
Angela - professional AutoStack operator, Green Horizons, Hamilton, Sod, Ontario, Canada.

This machine has allowed me to harvest as much if not more grass with half the labor. My crew used to consist of 8 people and now I only have 3 on the payroll not including myself. It has also allowed me to fill last minute orders, for instance when customers call in late and want a load of grass and I have let the crew go home I can get on my HarveStack and put 20 pallets on the ground in 45-50 minutes.
Lee Norman, TLC Turf, Moultrie, GA

With the Trebro blade, 267 pallets were cut before sharpening the blade and then cutting continued. With the other blades West Coast Turf previously used, only 80 pallets were cut and the blade was no longer usable. Well as you can see the Trebro blade is 3 times better!
Kevin, West Coast Turf, Winchester, CA.

We stack 70 rolls on a pallet and are getting 1050 pallets out of a set of Trebro blades. With competitor’s blades we average between 400-700 pallets (depending on the brand) and do not like how they cut compared to the Trebro blade.
