Abstract

A machine for removing paint and other unwanted material from turf comprises a vacuum device operable to remove paint and other material from turf, a scrubbing device operable to strip paint from the turf, and a chassis that carries the vacuum device and scrubbing device across the turf. The vacuum device includes a vacuum head and a compression bar. The vacuum includes a chamber having an entrance and an exit, wherein when air is urged out of the chamber through the exit, ambient air adjacent to the vacuum head flows into the chamber through the entrance. The compression bar is located adjacent to and outside of the vacuum head's entrance and operable to exert pressure on the turf to cause fluid in the field to pool adjacent to the vacuum head's entrance.
