A deep aerator solution

The Maredo® GT210 VibeSpike-Aerator for the Greens fits your triplex greens mower and turns it into a spike aerator, using a special technique to drive the spikes in the soil. We all know how hard it is to push a drum type spiker in the ground. You need a lot of weight and next you get damaged hole edges. Maredo has developed a new technique to overcome this problem. Maredo uses vibration to hammer a spike in the soil. The 6 spike sections are mounted around a driven camshaft. The spike sections roll over the ground and next they vibrate when the cam shaft is driven. This vibration helps to drive the spike in the soil, de-compact the soil and finally leave a nice, clean hole. Another great thing is that at the moment the spike reaches a hard spot, we only have to drive slower. We get more vibrations per spike, which hammers the spikes finally in the soil. The maximum working depth is 35 mm. = 1-1/2” and can be adjusted over the front roller. The GT210 creates about 700 holes per square meter. The spike thickness is 3 mm. = 0.120”. It can be used at mowing speed and you can play right away. It is a quick way to open up the top layer of your greens and tees. Several customers uses them every 2-3 weeks, just before mowing the greens.

The ultimate thatch remover

The Maredo GT230 HiSpeed-Corer for Removing the Thatch fits your triplex greens mower and turns it into a very special coring machine, which removes your thatch in another way. For years we removed thatch with a verticutter. A verticutter is basically a rotary mower on the side. And did you know that the tip speed of a greens mower verticutter is about 4-5 x less than a regular rotary mower? Any idea how the thatch is “cut”? There is no cutting, we just pull the thatch out. And that hurts the turf. We see that next day. Look at the brown edges alongside the verticut slits. It takes time for the grass to recover. During this period, the grass is very vulnerable and needs more water, fertilizer, otherwise it may get sick. It simply isn’t the right way to remover thatch. That is the bad part. The good part is that there is a new, much better way to remove your thatch. USE THE MAREDO GT230 HISPEED-CORER for Removing the Thatch. It pulls out the thatch with small hollow tines, that make a real cut. You don’t see a brown edge next day along the hole edge. Even better, the holes are gone in 2-3 days (while the verticut slits stay there for 2-3 weeks). It goes as fast as mowing. 4 million holes per hour are punched with your triplex greens mower up to 25 mm./ 1” deep. Deeper than what can be achieved with a verticutter on a triplex. And because it is fast, quick healing and not hurting your turf, you can do it every 4-5 weeks. And the holes are great for your dusting, fertilizer and irrigation water too. It comes standard with 11 mm =0.430” outside diameter hollow tines. Cross, needle, solid and smaller hollows are available as an option too. An indispensable tool for everybody that wants to maintain his greens in a more sustainable way!

For the smoothest green

The Maredo® GT300 VibeShoe-Roller for Increasing Green Speed fits your triplex greens mower and turns it into a new type “roller” that smoothens your green. Green speed is an important issue. Not always a high stimp value is required, more often a consistent stimp on all greens is what is asked for. Rolling is seen as the best answer for increasing you stimp value and consistency, however some question if that is true as a roller has a tendency to push things forward. Just think about a puddle. If you go through a puddle, all water is pushed forward. The same will happen with the edge of a ball mark. It is all pushed in one direction. The Maredo GT300 VibeShoe-Roller for Increasing Green Speed pushes vertically down with its shoes. We can set how much we want to push (as we know that we create more compaction at the moment we smoothen our surface by e.g. rolling). The GT300 uses 6 rounded shoes that “walk” over the green. By pushing down on the turf, they smoothen the whole surface, increasing the consistency and the stimp value. At maximum machine settings, an increase of 25- 30% of the stimp value is possible in one pass. Another application is “brushing or pushing in” the topdress. Just set the height so that the vibrating plates so that they just touch the topdress. Doing it like this will safe the turf from getting stressed, while the topdress finds its way through the turf.

Effortless overseeding

The Maredo GT424 VibeTine-Seeder is a very quick and efficient Fescue overseeder. The GT424 is perfect for overseeding greens, tees and surroundings. Overseeding is important for cold season grasses. It should be done regularly to create a strong and healthy top layer. However, regular overseeding can be a time-consuming operation. The Maredo GT 424 will change this. Because of the unique, clean and efficient way of overseeding with a triplex greens mower it will now be possible to overseed as fast and clean as no one has ever done before. The Maredo GT424 VibeTine-Seeder will replace the existing GT414 VibeSpike-Seeder for Fescue. The GT424 is more accurate and produces more holes for the seed to germinate in. A completely new method of overseeding is used. Six tine sections with exchangeable different kinds of solid tines punch holes in the top turf layer. Right behind these small solid tines are seed funnels mounted which will drop the seed directly in the holes. A mounted brush will help to get all the seed into the holes. With this new Vibe Tine method the amount of holes can be determined by the forward speed. The side-to-side hole distance is 29 mm (1-1/8″). The GT424 can also be used to plant all other kinds of granulars efficiently into your top turf layer. An ideal Overseeder for greens, surroundings, tees etc. Mowing speed is perfectly possible with these overseeding heads. With this GT424 efficiency and germination rate have doubled. If you are looking for the fastest method to overseed the Maredo GT424 heads are the solution!
