AERATION , IRRIGATION & DRAINAGE
“ It ’ s such a joy to use and it does everything we need ,” said Lawrence .
The SISIS Quadraplay has now progressed into one of today ’ s most useful pieces of kit in the groundsman ’ s armoury . One SISIS customer once even compared the Quadraplay to a Swiss army knife - compact , versatile , and utterly useful .
It is a multiple-purpose , singlepass maintenance system which incorporates a mounted frame for up to four implements such as grooming rakes , spikers , slitters , rollers and brushes . The implements can be fitted to the mainframe in any order and can be independently adjusted to achieve the desired effect . Compact , robust , versatile and with the ability to carry out up to four operations simultaneously – the Quadraplay makes life a lot easier for many groundsmen as Lawrence explains .
“ I use the slitter regularly because it really helps with surface drainage and with aeration ,” he said . “ On the pitch we do get quite a bit of surface water , especially when it rains , so I run the slitter over it , and it makes a huge difference .
“ The brush I tend to use after a cut . Just recently , for example , the grass had got long before I Joined so I used the brush to sweep all the cuttings to the side of the pitch , which made it easier to clear . The brush also massively helps with presentation .
“ The roller is also very beneficial . Naturally , the turf gets torn from the players so I use the roller to level out any divots . Also , when it comes to presentation then you cannot beat the roller .
“ The players have commented that the pitch looks great ,” concluded Lawrence . “ At the end of the day my job is to make the pitch better for them and the Quadraplay is helping me to achieve this .”
