Organization looking to buy a new machine to drag 5 fields. Had a Kromer but it is out of service half the time (showing its age). Recommendations?

I would consider a tow behind unit, especially if you have a maintenance vehicle on site already. They are cheaper and you can pull them with an old lawn tractor if you have to. If you have the room in the budget for a high end unit then take the local dealer's reputation into account.

Creating a new sticky thread for those who want to share ideas and suggestions on field maintenance. If there is enough traffic it may become its own forum. But for right now we'll start with a thread.
Could be its own topic. If it is broadened out to include design, build, maintenance, improvements, amenities, field photos, seating, lighting, press box, etc., there may be enough to generate several threads underneath it.
Just my $.02 and you still may be getting ripped off.

Our John Deere 1200A Bunker Machine is now 9 years old and still doing a great job. It has several attachment options and is worth taking a look at. It is the main machine used on our infields and sees regular use 10 months per year for high school and middle school softball and baseball.
