The GreensGrader was developed from more than 20 years of thought and on-the-job trial and error. The objective was, and still is, for a machine to perform all of the key operations involved in preparing the soil for seeding and/or sodding. The GreensGrader, as compared to other equipment on today’s market, combines functionality to perform the 5 basic operations to prepare the soil for seeding or sodding in a single unit. The basic requirement for use is a 35-40 HP tractor with category 1 hitch.
The strong, spring-loaded scarifying blades are capable of loosening a 6” to 8” width of soil from 4” to 5” deep. This prepares the soil for seeding and allows a better chance of survival and growth for the seed when planted.
The grader blade is used to shape and level the loosened soil. With the roller in the up position, the box grader blade levels when moving forward while the rear blade allows for back-filling and contouring.
The row of 22 double spring tines are fully retractable. When in the down position, the tines allow the removal of trash & debris from the surface. The spring action allows you to reverse without raising.
The heavy-duty roller, when either locked down or In the floating position, pulverizes large & small clots of soil that were left after scarifying. The roller also assists in leveling and shaping. The expanded metal design also provides an excellent seed bed.
The cart path and sidewalk edger cuts costs on man hours by automatically lowering the grade along edges that are to be sodded. The edger easily locks up out of the way but drops firmly into position with the simple removal of a pin.
The GreensGrader performs its functions by having many retractable parts, allowing them to be used in combination, or as separate operations. The GreensGrader features an all welded construction with a heavy-duty “A” frame for stability. The replaceable scarifier blades have 6” chisel points attached to 12” spring-loaded shanks to mitigate breakage.
The two grader blades are formed from heavy-duty carbon steel for years of use while the spring tine rake bar offers twenty-two 5/16” round tines to remove debris. Incorporate an edger blade and pulverizing roller and you have 5 functions in one piece of equipment.
