TERRA SLIT was specially developed for slitting, spiking, and aerating athletic fields and golf courses.
Regular deep spiking and deep aeration break up soil compaction and
provide optimal conditions for healthy root growth. By breaking up
compaction, the roots will deeper penetrate the soil and better
absorb water and nutrients, improving the flow of water and the air balance
of the soil.
The TERRA SLIT with high lift knives loosens the soil to a depth of
20 cm. Depending on the degree of compaction and soil conditions, you
may choose between low lift knives and high lift knives. The distance
between tine rows is 75 or 150 mm, depending on the assembly.
For deep slitting, especially on golf greens, the TERRA SLIT may be
equipped with fine-cutting knives reaching a working depth of 150 mm.
The TERRA SLIT is able to do even more. Equipped with hollow tines 25
mm in diameter, the TERRA SLIT makes 80 holes per sqm in one run with
150 mm spacing between tine rows. It is perfect for cutting out thatch
but also for spiking and aerating the upper soil layer up to a depth of
approximately 80 mm.
For highly compacted soil, the standard supplied
ballast frame may be weighed down with additional weights. On request, a
hydraulic weight transfer system (suitable for 3-point cat. I) is
available.
