The Most Refined Automated Roll Harvester Ever Built
From the leaders in automated slab harvesting, comes the R300. Precise. Smooth. Quiet. Fast. Efficient. Perfect pallets every time. Nobody has more experience than FireFly in cutting wide varieties of grass type and conditions. Once again, FireFly’s disruptive technology changes the game.
A MACHINE THAT LASTS
This is one time when you can say, “They just don’t build things like they used to,” and it’s a good thing! The smooth movements and durability of the R300 will lower your parts bills. And because many of its mechanisms were originally designed for the high cycles of our slab harvesters, this roll machine will last far longer than the competition.
GENTLE ON YOUR FIELDS
- Best flotation of any roll machine with our high flotation tires
- Excellent weight balance
- 4wd with traction control
LEADING THE INDUSTRY IN TECH
- Remote software updates and diagnostics
- Electronic auto steer

STATE-OF-THE-ART FACTORY
At FireFly, we manage the complete process of building machines in-house inside our sophisticated factory in Salt Lake City, Utah. Using the most advanced tools in both engineering and manufacturing, we create equipment that you can count on. Let your FireFly simply get the job done, so you can go play.
DURABLE CUTTERHEAD
EXTREME DURABILITY
The electric cut-off is incredibly durable, because it was built for the high cycles of a slab machine. The R300 will chop with precision for a long, long time.
CUTS GRASS…AND MAINTENANCE
Our patented cutter head has a counter-rotating balancing shaft that reduces vibration and increases bearing life. As a bonus, it also reduces power requirements, saving you fuel. Oh, and did we mention it’s fast and precise?
THE BEST DEPTH CONTROL
Our depth control is widely recognized as the best in the industry, with a proven track record of long life, adjustability for different cutting conditions, and unmatched consistency. And those bushings are greaseless, so you don’t have to touch them.
SMOOTH ROLLUP
The electric rollup mechanism operates smoothly and quietly, without any metal-on-metal contact or greasepoints to be found. Our rollup provides long-term precise performance. It’s rollup made simple.
SELF-ADJUSTING DUAL FLIPPER
The intelligent flap control system produces tight rolls in widely varying conditions and grass types. Our unique self-adjusting dual flipper gives you precise flap control and flap positioning, resulting in more stable, consistent pallets. It can easily accomodate varying roll lengths, handling 8 to 12 square foot (.7 to 1.1 m2) rolls with ease. There is also a simple scrapping mechanism to reject bad rolls on-the-fly.
PRECISELY THE POWER YOU NEED
The ideal engine for the job
The R300 is powered by a turbo-charged JCB engine that is perfectly suited for your turf production.
- Certified Tier 4 Final
- 74 hp / 55 kw
- No DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) required
- No DPF (diesel particulate filters) needed
- No regen cycles
- Hydrostatic, infinitely variable transmission
SAVING YOU FUEL (LOTS OF IT)
FireFly harvesters are far more fuel efficient than the competition, thanks to the right engine for the job and electrically-driven components in Cut-off, Conveyor, Rollup, and Stacker. These efficiencies eliminate regen cycles and make the R300 the most fuel efficient roll harvester in the industry.
QUIET STACKER
We love it when people first see the SynchroStacker do its thing. Eyes widen, jaws drop, then they smile. Our all-electric stacker is both elegant and fast. It proves that quality and productivity really are compatible.
SMOOTH AND QUIET MOTION
Scissor linkages, pivots, and rollers all play a part in our signature smooth movement. We don’t use any sliding mechanisms, giving the stacker very high stability and strength. Expert engineering, using robust components like our polyurethane rollers, has built FireFly’s reputation for lower maintenance and durability.
WORLD’S MOST SECURE ROLL PICKUP
The R300 SynchroStacker uses unique helical pickup screws that give you the best of both worlds of spears and hooks. Picks up tender rolls like spears won’t, and applies set down pressure like hooks can’t. Our high-strength spring steel screws:
- Penetrate to the core without deforming the rolls
- Keep rolls tight with excellent horizontal holding force
- Hold the turf much more securely than any other system
- Resist bending, are very durable, and are tolerant of rocks
CONSISTENT QUALITY
There aren’t any hydraulics on the stacker, so you don’t have to warm it up. It’s extremely consistent, operating with the same precision in hot or cold weather. Whatever the grass, we pick it up exactly the same.
PRECISION PRESSURE CONTROL
The SynchroStacker precisely controls the force to press down on pallets. Adding to the R300’s versatility, this down pressure is fully user-adjustable.
DROP ON-THE-FLY
For higher productivity, quickly drop perfect pallets without stopping.
TurfView Cab
Our TurfView cab simply delivers what you need. The cab is purpose-built for turf harvesting so operators can work in comfort and optimize both productivity and quality. No unnecessary frills, just the best functionality with the least components necessary, keeping costs down. Automation made simple.

UNMATCHED VISIBILITY
Operators have a clear view out both sides, front, and rear, with a quick swivel of the air-ride seat. No twisting, straining, or waiting. Premium LED lighting package comes standard to provide true daylight color.
DURABILITY
All electronics are inside the cab, protecting them from the environment. Vibration isolators between cab, frame, and engine reduce wear and keep operators comfortable.
CONVENIENCE

PERFECT PALLETS ON REPEAT
TOP-QUALITY PALLETS, LIKE CLOCKWORK
We haven’t met a grass type or condition that the R300 hasn’t handled beautifully. It moves from field to field with ease, pumping out perfect pallets in varying conditions.
SIMPLY KEEPS YOU MOVING
The high-capacity pallet injector minimizes your stops to load pallets. And because it’s so simple to load, your stops are quick. Its stainless steel walls prevent rust and hold up to the rigors of repeated pallet loading. And you’re going to run a lot of pallets through this machine.
*Available for single and double-sided pallets.
