Kennards ground care in Syd and Mel have a topdresser for hire. It's a petrol powered walk behind job with a .33 cubic m hopper. It has a conveyer belt that works the material out onto a rotating poly brush. Looks like a very easy machine to use and will get the job done quickly - no wheel barrowing and back breaking spreading. Once the material is down you can drag a mat or a levelling rake around to level it off and fill the holes. I know my local golf club uses this exact machine to do their greens.
Since no one i SE QLD hires a machine of this kind I'm stuck with the old school method of barrow and shovel spread. Once material is down i level off with a large manual pull behind levelling bar which i made with box section steel - about 2.5m wide.
Heres the link to the machine for hire,
