Get ahead on aeration and leaf clearance with Toro and AgriMetal
Renovation is an essential part of course maintenance ; repairing damage from the summer , bolstering surfaces for the winter and keeping the course clear of leaves and debris is a demanding job , but it can be made easier with the right machinery .
Here ’ s where Reesink Turfcare steps in with a selection of machinery from some of the brands it distributes , as David Timms , national accounts manager , explains : “ Autumn is crucial for repairing the damage done during summer , preparing the course so it can get through the winter without too much damage and is ready to go in the spring . We have what greenkeeping teams need to do that .”
Aeration work will be key . Relieving some of the compaction in the top surface and removing thatch , allowing the land to drain better and encouraging seed germination and grass growth , and as David says : “ the best partner for that work is the Toro ProCore 648s , also widely known to be the most efficient pedestrian aerator on the market .”
It ’ s not only a fast worker with a 122cm aeration swath that lets it aerate up to 18 greens in seven hours , but its unique design with the wheel located in front of the aeration heads means operators can make pass after pass without running over cores or freshly aerated turf , preventing damage and making cleanup easier .
With aeration work taken care of , it ’ s vital to make sure falling leaves don ’ t undo all the good work .
