Sports
contractor, ALS Contracts has taken delivery of a Maredo MT200 Flex-Verticutter
to expand and update its range of scarifiers for estates, fairways and sports
pitches.
The
tractor-mounted scarifier was launched by GroundPro, a trading division of
Wiedenmann UK. It provides a rapid response to difficulties that may occur in
the vital area lying just beneath the turf surface.
Dave
Harvey, Contracts Manager at ALS said: “Controlling
thatch in the top layer is key; too much organic matter can be a problem. This
removes thatch cleanly and at speed.
"With three independent floating heads and an ‘A’
frame with pivot point that makes turning simple, you get straight to business.
“Depending on what the issues are we can have the
Flex-Verticutter remove a lot of organic matter or let the blades just touch
the top layer for a light grooming. The heads combine to offer a span of 1.9 m,
each working to a depth of 25 mm so it’s what a contractor needs as it covers a
lot of ground fast.”
GroundPro machines will be featured on the Wiedenmann UK Stand A080 at SALTEX.
