S promises to be a showcase of equipment for all seasons as GKB Machines get set to return to BTME in 2022 . Whether its aeration , scarification or overseeding on the agenda , solutions will be on show in the form of the Deep Tine Aerator ( DTA ), Sandfiller and Combiseeder - with the GKB Technical Team on hand to discuss these products and many more from their innovative golf and sports turf portfolio .
The name speaks for itself with the GKB Deep Tine Aerator - efficiently and effectively aerating the ground down to depths of up to 400mm ( 16 ”) for optimal air and moisture movement . Four working widths are available between 1.2m and 2.6m , meaning there ’ s a model to suit most applications in and around the golf course and beyond . Quickly building a reputation for its build quality , the unique tine mounting system on the DTA allows for more tines per head and improves both the speed and efficiency when changing between sets .
As the seasons change and thoughts move from moisture management to spring renovations , the Sandfiller will prove its worth as the true multitasker ! The Sandfiller scarifies the surface down to depths of up to 40mm , removing organic matter and creating channels which are simultaneously filled with sand or a combination of sand and seed – maximising efficiency and improving drainage and ground firmness in one single pass .
If a dedicated unit is required that is capable of both seeding and overseeding , then the Combiseeder provides an accurate solution . The tried and trusted combination of two spiked rollers and two brushes create the optimal number of holes in the ground , allowing for precise seed distribution and maximised conditions for germination . With smaller models in the range ideal for work on golf greens , the Combiseeder is available in four working widths up to 2.4m making it a machine suited for greenkeepers , grounds managers and contractors alike .
