The Advantage

Why operators switch from Backslope

Who do you call when it breaks?

Backslope operates from a single location in Roca, Nebraska, with a direct-from-manufacturer model — no published dealer network or parts locator on their site.
Time is money. PermaGreen provides friendly and efficient factory-direct tech support, same-day parts shipping with Next-Day Air delivery, and an extensive network of authorized repair centers.

25,000+ machines. Exposed results.

PermaGreen isn't a bet — it's a proven business tool with 25,000+ units generating revenue every day. Operators consistently report paying off the machine in under 6 months. With 1 acre treated in 15 minutes and financing at $9/day, the math does itself.
Why gamble on an unproven startup when there's a machine with 25,000 data points, a known payback period, and a 60-day buyback guarantee if the math doesn't work?

60 days. No risk.

We'll put our 60-day buy-back guarantee against their zero track record.
Try the Triumph on your routes. If it doesn't change your life, we'll buy it back and pay for return shipping.

Same-day parts. From the people who built it.

When something needs attention, you call the factory — not a dealer, not a distributor, not a holding company. PermaGreen ships parts same-day and answers the phone.
One company. One phone number. 45 years of knowing every bolt on every machine.

45 years. 9 patents. Still innovating.

PermaGreen has made nothing but ride-on spreader-sprayers since 1981. Every model year brings engineering improvements informed by thousands of operators in the field.
Groundspeed-regulated calibration. Stainless steel frame. Patented single-nozzle spray. All backed by a 12/24/36-month warranty.
