Opico has launched its 3m Sward Rejuvenator – a new grassland improvement machine that consists of an aggressive Shattaboard with slicing plates, two rows of heavy-duty harrow tines, an Air 8 grass seeder and a Prisma roller. The slicing plates and harrow tines break up and level the soil surface in front of the grass seed outlets, and the soil is then firmed behind by the roller.
The aggressive slicing plates and harrow action make the Rejuvenator ideal for use in badly poached fields that require restoration. It can also be used – minus the seeder – for harrowing grassland to remove trash and stimulate grass growth, and for molehill levelling.
Furthermore, the action of the new heavy 600mm diameter Prisma Roller cracks and breaks clods produced by the front equipment to create a fine tilth for grass seed to germinate in. As a result, the machine is ideal for both grassland rejuvenation and reseeding of cultivated land.
The Sward Rejuvenator has a 3m working width and is available as a mounted machine costing from £11,620+VAT, or as a trailed model from £12,987+VAT (prices exclude the seeder box and are correct at July 2015).
