Spring is in the air, aerating is on the to-do list and Reesink Turfcare is reminding customers how to make this essential task more efficient – and it’s all with one simple, cost-effective Nordic Plow Core Solutions blade attachment.
Aeration is hands down one of the best practices to promote root growth and the movement of air and water within the soil, which is key in spring to ensure a healthy, strong growing season.
Up until recently collecting the resulting cores had been a mucky, time-consuming job, but following in its ethos of making turfcare professionals’ lives easier, Reesink procured the perfect solution to that problem when it introduced to its range the clever core collecting blade attachment from Nordic Plow.
This lightweight 64-inch collector fits perfectly, but not exclusively, to the Toro ProCore 648s to aerate the turf and remove the cores in one pass in minutes. It considers the fact that aerating with the grain of the landscape or side to side reduces stress to the turf and results in a flawless measured scrape.
Further advantages include the removable sleeve which removes cores on severely undulated ground without the need for tools and the adjustable scraper edge, which can free float or lock into position.
Brushes drag top dressing into the cores and they can still be removed even if the turf is wet, and there’s no issue with small tine clear up, despite them having less structure and more sand, which normally makes the job more difficult and time-consuming. Additionally, creating tall piles of plugs with little spillage has the added benefit of brushing sand deeper into the holes as it goes.
Jon Cole, Business Divisional Manager of Reesink Turfcare, comments: “It’s always a priority for us to bring to our customers equipment that can complete a labour-intensive process with less manpower.
“It’s always going to be about working smarter not harder, whether that’s with the most cutting-edge, ground-breaking technologies or an innovative tool that does a simple job brilliantly which is exactly what the Core Collector does.”
