Pitch maintenance involves long hours and a keen eye for detail . Indeed , at GKB we stand by our beliefs that ‘ the worker is king ’ and , thus , develop machines that make your job ( and life ) a little easier and provide you with utmost satisfaction . While not every ground is worthy of top level play , that doesn ’ t mean you can ’ t turn your pitch into something equally as special …
The Combinator – Designed to allow you to accurately fraise mow the top layer of your turf . The Combinator ’ s conveyor belt system means that unwanted material is easily removed in just the one pass . As such , this machine has been used at all levels of the beautiful game with many grounds – including some Champions League super stadiums – finding it the best solution to start restoring the field during the off season .
Combiseeder – The easiest way to effectively sow or reseed your turf without the disruption of weeds . Spiked rollers let air into the soil and weakens the weeds , while the machine sowes . It then presses the seed in and brushes your sports field . It ’ s the only machine you need to complete sowing and overseeding routines .
Deep Tine Aerator – For those with ‘ older sports fields ’ this is a deep aerator to prevent soil compaction . By stimulating root formations , the DTA strengthens your pitch . You ’ ll notice improved topsoil health and quality . Working at depths of up to 40centimenters the DTA leaves you with unparalleled intensive aeration .
