Redexim return to BTME

December 13, 2024/in Events, News, Press Release/by Admin

Redexim return to BTME: Efficiency is the buzzword at BTME 2025 for Redexim, who return with a range of equipment for fast and effective aeration, seeding and spring renovation on stand 532.

With ever-higher course condition expectations from players leading to increasingly stretched greenkeepers, Redexim aim to showcase the versatile, quality-built solutions for achieving top-quality fine turf surfaces.

Redexim return to BTME

It wouldn’t be a Redexim show stand without the Verti-Drain^® taking centre stage. BTME 2025 will be no different with the industry’s flagship high-speed aerator, the Verti-Drain^® 2519, making a popular return. The Verti-Drain^® 2519 encompasses the best in Redexim precision engineering, featuring an easy to adjust heave lever and slip clutch PTO drive – offering an impressive PTO speed of up to 540rpm which allows it to cover up to 8739sq.m per hour. Its unbeatable productivity is matched by outstanding durability and a full range of tine options to suit tasks around the maintenance calendar.

Another stand highlight promises to be the Redexim Carrier, a multi-tool tractor which will be equipped with the 1513 Verti-Drain^® for aeration with minimal ground pressure. A popular choice for greens and other areas where excess weight is to be avoided, the Carrier can also act as a power unit for a range of other implements that utilise a 3-point linkage and PTO.

Full flexibility is also offered by the Redexim Overseeder range, whether your preference is low-disruption seeding on greens and tees or the dependability of precision disc-seeding on the fairways. The Redexim Overseeder 3D is available with either a 1.2m or 1.5m working width to suit all applications and conditions – with a dedicated lightweight version (LV) ideally suited to sensitive turf areas and/or tractors with a lower lifting capacity. Whichever size disc seeder you opt for, you can be assured of a precise seed delivery system and optimal conditions for germination, saving you time and money.

Many will be looking to combine aeration and overseeding work come the spring, as thoughts turn to new season renovations. Complimentary operations such as scarifying and topdressing can also be catered for by the Redexim portfolio, with the team on hand and happy to discuss full details of the options available in Harrogate, over the course of the 21^st, 22^nd and 23^rd of January.

The Toro “must have tool”

December 13, 2024/in Machinery, News, Press Release/by Admin

The Toro “must have tool”: The latest club to invest in a Toro ProCore 648 aerator is Royal Aberdeen Golf Club with Course Manager Richard Johnstone declaring it a must have tool for golf aeration.

Prior to Richard’s arrival a tractor-mounted aerator was being used on the classic Scottish links course but when Richard joined the club 10 months ago it was one of the first things he looked to change.

The Toro “must have tool”

Richard explains: “The Balgownie course in particular is known for having undulating greens and surrounds with steep slopes rising to tees situated high up in the dunes. The proximity of the tees and slopes are small and tight making it difficult for the tractor-mounted aerator to access everywhere we needed it to.”

Richard knew there was a solution, that it came from Toro and was called the ProCore 648. He says: “I was at Nairn Dunbar Golf Club for eight years as Course Manager prior to arriving in Aberdeen, where we’d had a ProCore 648 since 2013. It was nimble, manoeuvrable, effective, and easy to use. When you’ve had an experience like that with a piece of machinery you don’t tend to look any further. I did however have a team to persuade, so we enquired about getting a demo model in to ensure it was right for our particular site.

“Everyone on the team got to trial the aerator and evaluate it on a feedback sheet, and it scored very highly. The conclusion was that it was the best pedestrian aerator for our site.”

This probably isn’t too surprising for many to read. The Toro ProCore 648 is, after all, the market-leading, customer-favourite aerator that, no matter your brand preference, there’s no denying is the best in the business. A statement Richard readily agreed with: “Absolutely, it does what it’s supposed to do well.”

The ProCore arrives in time to assist in some course construction, as Richard explains: “We’re hollow coring two hectares of greens and approaches to reduce the organic matter within the profile and the cores will be used to construct a new green and approach within our practice ground. This will provide consistency and a perfect match for the type of grasses maintained across the greens within our site.”

When asked if there was anything else in terms of machine highlights, Richard didn’t hesitate in explaining just how satisfying it is to use: “It’s fast and neat whatever kind of aeration it is doing. We do a variety of solid, pencil, and hollow tine in the main and whichever you’re doing you can use it all day without feeling it. The vibrations are negligible.”
