Make bunker maintenance easier with a Mantis tiller and attachments
ne of the greatest challenges
O for greenkeepers is bunker maintenance . Although bunkers represent a small part of the playing area they are an integral part of the golf course . Keeping them in shape can be labour intensive particularly after intense heat or heavy rain so a machine that can make that process easier is worth the investment .
The Mantis 7265 deluxe tiller is lightweight at 11kg and compact making it easy to carry around the course or put in the back of a buggy ; while being designed to work away from your operators for maximum control . It ’ s built to withstand wear and tear with a powerful engine over tine design that optimises the weight placement . A kickstand , engine guard and sure grip handle come as standard .
The variable throttle lets you decide the speed of the tines to give you more control and the ability to adapt to the differing banks within the bunkers .
The tiller is perfect for working in tight edges and banks , re-distributing sand with ease and getting the bunker back into shape . It aerates the top 30mm of sand and never digs in . The dethatcher attachment quickly removes weeds , dead grass , moss and thatch that can choke the grass around the bunker banks . The 60 spring-steel picks let you dethatch a 9 ”/ 23cm area with a single pass eliminating hours of back-breaking work .
The Mantis tiller removes ingrained sand and thatch , in even the most awkward banks , three times faster than hand raking and it ’ s a lot less tiring .
