Launched earlier this year at BTME 2022, the new Campey BM50 fixed blade verti-cutter has been out on demo with a resoundingly enthusiastic response.
The reaction to the BM50 has been so strong that companies such as Turf Tonics have opted to purchase their demo unit on the spot.
Videos showing the clean and easy operation of the machine in action have also gathered interest and demo requests on social media.
The verti-cutter is available in 1.56 m and 1.8 m working widths and the depth 0 - 40mm, adjustable in 0.5mm increments.
Working at 0.0 mm means there is no contact with the soil with just thatch being removed, whilst working at the greatest depth will scarify deeper, removing huge amounts of debris. This makes the machine perfect for use during the season to provide light thatch and debris clearance, and for when a thorough deeper lay of organic matter needs to be removed.
Due to the fixed blade system, it does not require the complete disassembly of the transmission and rotor, but only of the worn blades. The high-performance rotor guarantees excellent work in all circumstances, even when the blade's cutting edge is not in optimal condition.
In the standard version, the blades are made of HARDOX material with a thickness of 3mm and spaced 30mm apart. Optional 2 mm and 3 mm tungsten tipped blades are also available.
The BM50 1600 model can be operated using a 25 HP tractor, whilst the larger 1800 requires a 30 HP tractor for operation.
