AERATION , IRRIGATION & DRAINAGE
The GKB Topair fulfils the desire and ambition of making sports pitch maintenance sustainable , which works effectively in conjunction with the GKB Deep Tine Aerator ( DTA ) as the aeration of the upper layer is a necessity for natural grass growth .
Considered one of the major causes of poor sward density , root development and waterlogging , the GKB Deep Tine Aerator ( DTA ) works on natural sports pitches to relieve the surface , compaction enabling water to travel through and for stronger roots to develop .
From varying depths up to 16 inches and featuring a 3-speed heavy-duty gearbox , you can adjust the speed on
the tines to create the required hole pattern in the turf . Thanks to the machines unique tine mounting system , quick changeover for different size tines has never been easier .
Like all GKB products , the DTA was built on the understanding that ‘ the worker is king ’, and this innovative machine requires minimal maintenance as it ’ s fitted with heavy-duty sealed bearings on the crankshaft , ensuring focus is always on improving the ground and less on maintaining the machine .
With an adjustable 25-degree heave angle , the GKB DTA ’ s tine holding system allows you to take control of removing compaction .
