GRADEN CSI

Contour Sand Injection Verticutter

USGA recommend 20% removal of thatch each year… …and this is why?

But how do you do it with coring alone – affecting 5-7% of the surface in an application means coring at least 4 times a year to achieve this.

Verticutting is a proven method of Thatch removal and aeration, but going deep had its problems. 15-18% thatch removal was achieved, however grooves folding over and

creating a hollow was seen to be a major draw back.

The Graden Contour Sand Injector was developed to address this very problem – SUCCESSFULLY!

Aerating, De-thatching, filling the grooves and keeping the turf surface firm in one pass highlights the effectiveness of this piece of engineering

Added bonus’s with this process only became apparent after substantial trial and assessment – the findings….

• Improved drainage and nutrient dispersion across the surface• Quicker recovery of the turf back to playing conditions meant

the golf course revenue returned• Less bumps in the surface – regrowth between 4-10 days

A recent development has been the seeder unit. This option not only mixes the seed in with the sand as it fills the grooves, but can also be used with

amendments or other dry, fine material

NEW for 2015Electric lift device

• Making the raising and lowering of blades a simple switch activation at the end of each run

• Makes avoiding sprinkler heads on the edge of greens less hastle

• Improves the control of the operator over the CSI by maintaining both hands on the machine

Verticutting!Still the best way to reduce and control THATCH!
