High Productivity

The R300 is the fastest single-head roll machine on the market, and in some conditions, it even rivals the productivity of double-head machines—at a much lower cost of ownership.

Groundbreaking SynchroStacker

Innovative in every component, the R300's SynchroStacker stacks turf with unmatched durability, quality, efficiency, and productivity.

Pallet Back-Out Mode

With the R300's pallet back-out mode, you can quickly drop pallets wherever you want and resume your harvesting path.

The R300's sophisticated controls maximize your versatility and ROI. These greater capabilities bring smarter systems that can adapt to varying conditions in ways never before implemented on turf harvesters. Automation made simple.

Less Fuel, More Turf

Engineered for fuel efficiency from the ground up, our hybrid harvesters stay cooler, operate more smoothly, and last longer.

A Cut Above

Our harvesters work in the widest variety of conditions, thanks to exclusive ground pressure control algorithms and patented electric chop.

Gentle on your Fields

Superior weight balance and flotation give FireFly harvesters keeps you cutting even in soft fields without damaging them.

Long Life by Design

FireFly machines are designed to last. We carefully choose components for durabiity and make design choices to be maintainable for the long haul.

The FireFly R300 is a superior harvester at every level. It performs very smoothly, and the cab interior is incomparable. The high-precision quality of the cutter head is extraordinary. Additionally, the flaps on the rolls are well-positioned with perfect consistency, allowing for the production of more than perfect pallets.

We are also happy to be using FireFly’s new palletless system, which picks up stacks with six forks and no pallet. It works like a charm. Thanks, FireFly Automatix!

The R300 handles hillsides better, as well as our rocky soil texture. It also does better in the slime, thanks to the 4-wheel drive and anti-slip in second gear.

I’m always impressed with the level of communication we receive from FireFly Automatix. We have Tarl locally, and he’s been a huge asset to keeping us running, and Westin is a good example of someone who will help solve a problem and make sure it’s communicated to us from the inside support team. FireFly’s got it going on!

Doug Lechlider / Owner, Laytonsville Turf Farm, Maryland

Our FireFly R300 is the best capital investment our company has ever made. And it is made in America. Thank you, FireFly.

Doug Albert / Owner, Maine Turf Company, Maine

We were fine hand-stacking, but the R300 provided such a high value with speed and labor savings, that we decided to make the leap. This FireFly is our first major technology improvement, and it’s made us believers in automation.

Michael Juip / Owner, Brown City Sod, Michigan

Scrapped pieces equal money left on the field. We are incredibly impressed by how much less scrap was in the field with the R300 as compared to other automated machines.

The other point that is important to our business is how reliable the machine is. These machines work hard, and knowing that our equipment will reliably work day after day is a huge relief.

Scott Hoffman / Co-owner, B&B Hoffman Sod, Minnesota

Let me start by saying WOW! After my 23 years…I’ve driven a lot of machinery, but this is very different. The Firefly R300 is so advanced, such a joy to drive, air ride swivel seat for comfort and visibility, sound proof cab with visibility all round and access to absolutely everything…There are 3 separate ways to scrap a bad roll without leaving the seat, it is so user-friendly. Every pallet has perfect flap positioning and the pallets look great.

We can save settings for different land conditions, with one button I can change the whole setup of the machine and its 74hp engine means we use a lot less fuel and no adblue meaning no regen cycles. The harvester only uses 35hp to operate as the Cut-off, Rollup, Conveyor and Stacker are all electrically-driven. I filled the machine with fuel on Monday, did four days harvesting without having to refuel which is a massive saving.This machine fits our model perfectly for the odd sizes that we lift.

Dan Touchin / Feltwell Harvest Manager, Harrowden Turf, Norfolk, United Kingdom

With the FireFly, we never have to say no to orders. And the pallets are so pretty! My team is done cutting by noon, because this machine cuts so fast and efficiently. We can do a full day’s work in half a day. This gives us more time to mow.
