Twose's innovative new all-in-one subsoiler and aerator machines were unveiled at LAMMA 2015.
Designed to boost soil quality and help fight compaction, the new SSA range combines the two operations in a single-pass - heaving, aerating and rolling the soil before slitting it to aid water percolation and promote capillary action.
Available in a choice of 2.5m and 3.0m working widths, the new machines potentially halve the time required and deliver major savings in labour and fuel costs.
Key features of the new machines include:
- Three-point linkage
- Hydraulic auto-reset leg protection available
- Choice of two, three and five leg configurations
- Plain, packer and consolidator roller options
- Easily adjustable working depths for both subsoiling and aeration
- Manual and hydraulically adjustable roller options
- 230mm hard-wearing boron steel slitting blades.
- Replaceable hardened boron steel shins, legs and feet
- Straight blade configuration for minimal surface disruption
- Rugged build quality
- Precision-engineered in the UK to the ISO 9001 quality benchmark.
Twose director of sales and marketing Tim Coleridge said the SSA machines would offer a major labour and cost saving advantage for contractors and prove a significant weapon in easing compaction and enhancing growth.
"The double action of subsoiling and aeration will enhance the condition of grass roots and improve the ingression of water and air, promoting strong earlier growth of grass," he said.
The SSA machines are compatible with tractors of 80 hp and above (two leg model), 120hp and above for a three-leg configuration.
