VX2000 Hydroseeder Powers Growth for The Regenerative
Josh Frappell, Managing Director of The Regenerative, a small but fast-growing environmental consultancy in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, has found a powerful new asset in the VX2000 from Vortec Global.
Specialising in land rehabilitation, erosion control, and agricultural consulting, Josh and his team work on niche-scale projects in areas where traditional large machinery isn’t always feasible—or economical.
A Perfect Fit for Purpose
“We focus on smaller-scale rehabilitation jobs—spraying cover crops, tackling erosion in gullies, or managing roadside easements,” Josh explains. “The VX2000 was perfect for us. It’s durable, mobile, and designed to be user-friendly for teams who need flexibility without sacrificing capability.”
For The Regenerative, the VX2000 opened doors not originally included in their business plan. “It wasn’t something we had considered at the start,” Josh says, “but now we’re able to engage earlier in the project lifecycle, helping clients reach their environmental goals sooner and more cost-effectively.”
Ease of Use, Backed by Support
One standout feature of the VX2000? Simplicity.
“It’s scalable and simple to operate. You don’t need an HR licence—just a standard driver’s licence and the ability to tow a trailer,” Josh explains. “Vortec provides thorough manuals and an excellent induction process. Once you’ve had a quick hands-on run-through, you’re set.”
The human touch from the Vortec Global team also made a lasting impression. “They’re not just sales reps—they know their products, they understand the field pressures, and they actually care. A few times I’ve had questions about new products, and they’ve walked me through everything over the phone. That’s rare these days.”
A Smart Investment
The VX2000 has already paid dividends for The Regenerative. With a total investment of around $85,000, Josh estimates the machine paid for itself in just two months. “We’d been talking to a few clients ahead of time and had work lined up before it even arrived. It’s added a completely new revenue stream to our business.”
Who Should Consider the VX2000?
From erosion control and civil construction to mining and maritime projects, the VX2000 is ideal for teams who need a cost-effective, scalable, and professional solution for practical environmental rehabilitation.
As Josh sums it up: “It’s efficient, it’s practical, and it’s opened up a whole new part of our business.”
