The 4GCS from SCH (Supplies) Ltd is
a versatile pitch maintenance system.
A single pass allows up to four
operations to be carried out simultaneously, including surface aeration,
dethatching, brushing and rolling, which when combined together, enable
groundsmen to prepare and maintain the pitch to a high standard, in very little
time.
It is an ideal unit for general
pitch grooming/maintenance on both sports fields and fine turf. The star shaped
slitters pierce the surface to increase drainage and promote root growth.
The brush and rake tines tickle
over the surface to remove thatch and enhance the quality and appearance of the
area. The rear roller firms up the surface and gives that much sought
after striping.
A weight tray is incorporated in
the design which gives the option to add top weight to vary the penetration
depth of the slitters. This tray is also extremely useful for the
transportation of tools and equipment. All three tools can be adjusted by
individual screw jacks for depth and pressure, and the side wheels can be
lowered to easily transport the equipment when not on the pitch.
The 4GCS from SCH connects to any tractor
with a 3-point-linkage, and the four attachments can be arranged in any order
and can be lifted out of use when not required.
The slitter attachment is an ideal
tool for breaking down the compacted surface of grassed areas, improving
drainage and allowing air penetration to the roots, and the single pass on the
tractor reduces the amount of mud being churned up by the wheels.
The benefits of this are most
apparent over the autumn and winter months. The deterioration of pitch quality
over the rainy season forces many clubs to postpone, cancel, and reduce the
number of games played.
The improved drainage from the 4GCS
will keep the mud at bay, and helps keep revenue coming into clubs.
The 4GCS has a simple design for
low maintenance. The robust welded steel frame and their dedicated spare parts
team will help ensure the life of the machine for many years.
