SPORTSTAR

  • Ideal for the grassland care and after-sowing
  • to aerate the grassland
  • perfect for weed control
  • promotes soil vitality and activity
  • optimal adaptation to surface
  • large variety of equipment

The SPORTSTAR is the ideal machine to maintain and underseed the turf on sports- and golfcourses. The narrow line spacing of 13 mm / 0.51" and the 6.5 mm / 0.26" thick tines ensure the turf is aerated and dethatched. In combination with a seeding box the weeder is the ideal tool to maintain the lawn. Depending on the specification the SPORTSTAR is a very universal tool (e.g. to incorporate sand).

No rollers
To combine sports field weeders and rollers in one machine does not provide the desired effect. Even distribution of the seeds over the entire working width, which is ensured by the centrally placed deflector plates, is the key factor for good emergence of the seeds. Furthermore, the operating speed of roller and sports field weeders do not match. In case soil gets stuck to the roller, seeds which have been distributed by the weeder get stuck on it and previously sown grass is collected from the ground again. In addition, a roller establishes contact between previously torn out weeds (such as the rough stalked meadow grass) and the ground. So they will not dry out but continue to grow. Especially for reseeding and grassland care, rolling is not necessary as the roller runs on the turf and has very limited contact to the soil. For new seeding rolling can be beneficial, but it should be done in a separate operation after weeds have dried out and with the optimal working speed for rolling.

Simple mounting of a seeding box

The P-BOX-STI or P-BOX-MD seeding boxes can be mounted on all tined weeders. In addition to various additional options for the seed drill, steps for filling are available.

Exact line spacing of the tines 13 mm / 0.51"
The line spacing of exact 13 mm / 0.51" has a significant influence on the effect and quality of the operation. Tine sections with 6 rows with 114 tines on 1.5 m / 4.92 ft. fields ensure an effective and efficient weed control. A bigger distance between the tines will leave unworked strips where weeds will continue to grow and the turf will not be dethatched.

Exact tine position and movement

The tines are fixed by sturdy plastic holders on the tine fields. This guarantees the tine is aligned exactly in the working direction. The spring of the tine is mounted freely below the tine holder. This improves the vibration of the tine and guarantees the movement of the tine by the spring. In addition, the tines clean themselves through the constant movement. A breaking of the tine is very unlikely since the movement of the tine is not limited.

Tine aggressivity quickly adjustable via central adjustment lever

The aggressivity of the spring loaded tines on the grassland care machine can be adjusted as required via one central adjustment lever per tine section in 5 positions between ''dragging'' or ''on grip''.

Guaranteed equal tine aggressivity over the entire working width

The tine tube is torsion-resistant and guarantees the same tine position and the same tine aggressivity over the entire frame length. This is particularly important in hard soil conditions.

Plastic support on U-frame

On the U-frame holding the weeder sections the supports guiding the section are covered with hard plastic. This prevents the U-frame from wearing. In addition, they ensure good guidance of the weeding field, whereby adaptation to the terrain is still possible.

Levelling plate for excellent distribution and levelling of molehills

In front of the weeder sections a levelling plate can be mounted, which is overload-protected by a leaf spring. This levelling plate is height adjustable and ensures an excellent distribution and levelling of molehills. Retrofitting of these levelling plates is easily done (only up to 6 m / 19.70 ft. working width, not in combination with hydraulic tine adjustment).
