The efficiency of this machine has had a positive impact on our harvest. We’ve run other automated slab harvesters, and the ProSlab is far more efficient than the competition. We harvest more grass in less time with the 155C.

What it’s like running a FireFly Automatix ProSlab 155…productive, thrilling, straightforward, relaxing, fast, comfortable, and the list goes on!

The FireFlies cut our labor tremendously. A harvester being down because it needs maintenance is not an option, and the FireFlies keep us cutting reliably every day. The ProSlabs show up for work and don’t complain; they just cut. We can harvest 40 percent more grass with half the people.

If there’s a machine that can harvest more grass, and make it look better on the pallet, then it is worth a look. The 155B is that machine, and it’s made a huge impact with productivity.

After acquiring a ProSlab 155B, we’ve increased our harvesting efficiency by eliminating the tedious task of hand-stacking. It has also improved our work-life balance immeasurably.

Our FireFly ProSlab 155B automated harvester saves on labor and gives better harvest yields.

Five years ago, we could produce 600 pallets with eight or nine hand-stacking crews—that’s three people each, plus one on the forklift. With one operator per FireFly ProSlab, we hit a record last week with 1500 pallets in a single day, using nine of our FireFly harvesters.

Switching to a FireFly was an absolute game changer. We have always been able to meet our demand, if just barely, but with the FireFly, we’re able to seek out new customers and harvest more grass in the same amount of time as before.

FireFly’s service has been almost better than the machine. It’s one thing to design and build a machine like this, but it’s another thing entirely to put together a service team capable of keeping it running.

It’s the fastest slab harvester on the market. It also leaves zero waste in the field. We get a better harvest yield and our customers get the freshest sod possible.

We witness regularly a 3:1 increase in productivity over our other auto machines, and that is a huge one for us—less people, less gear in the field, less fuel etc—just more productivity per dollar invested.

The thing that attracted us to FireFly’s product initially was that the whole process has been attacked from a different angle, a whole new platform of technology, advanced design functions, indestructible construction techniques, but above all of that, these guys actually care about how your machines perform. The other thing is, it stays in the paddock all day working.

The stacker is very smooth and consistent, making a nice square pallet that is a lot more stable for transport. It’s easy to adjust to varying conditions and soil strengths. It has great visibility. We appreciate the service that FireFly provides, both remotely and in person.

The benefit of having a smart machine like a FireFly is that it produces the turf in a much more efficient manner from a labor standpoint and also from a production amount of grass we are taking out of the field. As an end user of FireFly’s equipment, I don’t know a lot about how it works, but it works, and that’s what’s important.

The FireFly harvester shows up to work on time, ready to work. It’s reliable. A customer told me that we had the best looking grass he’d ever seen, because it was so neatly stacked.

The machine’s easy to maintain. When I make a phone call, the staff at FireFly knows their machine. That saves a lot of down time. The ProSlab is also easy to operate. I love that I can get something done on the weekends, when I’m just a one man operation.
