The CAMON BC65 includes many of the same features that have helped to make the CAMON LS42 Lawn Scarifier the preferred choice for lawncare specialists and landscape gardeners across the UK. These include free-swinging “waisted” blades in a staggered layout to provide maximum coverage, fine blade height adjustment for all types of lawns, and interchangeable lawn rake and lawn slitter cartridges.

Alex Pitt, Managing Director of Tracmaster, said “This new Scarifier is the perfect fit for our CAMON range. Having manufactured lawn scarifiers for over 25 years, the logical next step was to use our expertise to make a model to fit the BCS power units.”

John Bates, Tracmaster’s Sales Director, continued, “We’ve had a lot of interest in the BCS65 from BCS owners in the UK, and from BCS distributors across the world – in fact we’ve already shipped a number of units to BCS in the USA.”

The CAMON BC65 is suitable for the BCS Two Wheel Tractors and rotavators from the model 738 upwards. The Scarifier features 48 free-swinging “waisted” blades, a full-width front roller for even scarification, and a floating PTO swivel joint for uneven ground conditions.

Golf Club’s New Wiedenmann XF

/in , /by

Golf Club’s New Wiedenmann XF: A golf club based in Hertfordshire has replaced its existing Wiedenmann Terra Spike XF with a newer version after 14 years of success.

Craig Betts, Course Manager of Aldwickbury Park GC, Harpenden, said he had no hesitation in making a repeat selection: “Our original machine never let us down. Knowing the machine could deliver all we wanted made it a straight forward update.”

Golf Club's New Wiedenmann XF

“Aside from additional tines, we’ve only needed to replace the bearings on the rollers. Running costs matter so I know first-hand we’ve had versatility and value.   Mark House at our dealer Ernest Doe in Benington sorted the switch, so here’s to another 14 years.”

Changes to the XF in the interim include hydraulic depth control giving infinite depth adjustment from the cab as well as a two piece heave bar system bringing additional shock absorbers.

With vistas across the Lea Valley, Aldwickbury Park’s two busy courses – the 18 hole ‘Manor’ and the par 3 ‘Park’ – both open 365 days a year. Craig Betts and his team don’t leave aeration to chance.   Slots to deep tine all tees, greens and approaches are timetabled to cause least disruption.

“We start early and keep our heads down.  We know the XF to be quick and that’s what we need.  This past month we’ve gone to 275 mm deep but we vary it according to the time and conditions.”

Aldwickbury Park shares its Terra Spike XF with fellow Burhill Golf & Leisure Group club, Redbourn GC, also Harpenden.

The traditional mains water hose supply connection is conveniently located at the front of the washer.  These lightweight washers are quiet in operation, double insulated for safety, come complete with a convenient 5m power cord and can be used with water at up to 40°C.
