I topdressing solutions is the question , visitors
to BTME are guaranteed to find the answer on stand 644 as GKB Machines return to Harrogate . Before attendees have even stepped foot inside the exhibition halls , they ’ ll be able to see the mounted GKB SP100 parked outside of the Hall 6 entrance , with details of trailed and material-handling options all available by speaking with the GKB technical team .
With four different hopper capacities and trailed and mounted models , there ’ s a GKB Sandspreader to suit all surfaces . Delivering the ultimate versatility for broadcast topdressing , it is the fast and effective way to incorporate sand into greens , fairways and surrounding areas to assist in the breakdown of thatch , increase infiltration and create conditions for vigorous grass growth .
The GKB SP100 is the smallest unit in the range , offering a
1.0m3 hopper capacity and up to 10m spreading width making it ideal for tasks around the golf course . Moving up through the range are hopper capacities of 2.3m3 , 3.0m3 and 4.0m3 – the larger SP400 models providing unrivalled productivity therefore making them a popular choice for the contractor market .
In addition to the SP range , GKB also offer three SPM models , combining all of the characteristics and qualities of the robust and reliable Sandspreader with the addition of a material handler – ideal for topping up bunkers .
If time is tight and conducting sand integration with other operations is what ’ s needed , then GKB have you covered here too with the renowned GKB Sandfiller ! The Sandfiller is proof positive that multi-tasking doesn ’ t have to result in a compromise in quality , tackling the issues of organic matter , compaction , drainage and sward density in a single pass .
The Sandfiller utilises the principles of GKB ’ s much-praised Combinator , with carbide blades effectively slitting the surface , removing vegetation and creating channels to be easily refilled with dried sand , or a combination of sand and seed , creating a clean , play-ready finish .
Visitors will be able to see solutions from across GKB ’ s portfolio for natural turf in action on stand 644 ’ s high-impact video wall , so be sure to stop by this January , grab some GKB giveaways and find out more .
