Ted Smith founded Smithco with one product (the famous

“Red Rider” Utility Truck), faith in the future and a lot of hard

work. Although today Smithco is considerably larger and more

diversified, it continues to operate as a family business with

the values that were important then, and are still just as

important now.Don Smith, President; Ted Smith, Founder; Bill Kenney, Vice-President

Come Meet the Family.

Smithco Ball Field Maintenance Systems are all about two things: SAFETY and PERFECT PLAYABILITY.Our products are designed to make infields, base paths and warning tracks consistentlysmooth, level and attractive while providing the surface with enough give to prevent injuriesfrom falls, slides or even bad hops. Smithco products will ensure that your field has an All-Star appearance that your players and spectators will love and that will help you attract tour-naments. From Little League to Major League, Smithco has set the standard for over 25 years.

Our Ball Field Maintenance Systems consist of 4 elements:

1. The PRIME MOVER – the powerful tractor which pulls, pushes and operates the fieldconditioning implements.

2. The CENTER-MOUNTED IMPLEMENT – the scarifier which breaks up the hard surface onthe infield, base path or warning track.

3. The REAR-MOUNTED IMPLEMENT – the device which levels, smoothes and puts theattractive finish on the field.

4. The FRONT PLOW – to fill in low spots and move dirt and sand.
