Groundsman 8120CTM + 12180TM

1.2M model offered at £14,350 + VAT.

Groundsman manufacture 1.2m (48″) and 1.8 metres (60″) tractor mounting aerators with working depths down to 15cm (6″).

As with all the machines in the Groundsman surface aerator range, the tractor-mounted models are simple and compact. Groundsman’s high-speed elliptical plunge-action aeration mechanism is fast, silent and the large diameter modular crankshaft has sealed bearings throughout for durability and low maintenance. The crank moves the tines vertically and horizontally to gain maximum depth with minimum surface disruption.

The 1.2m swath model 8120CTM can aerate up to 2400 square metres per hour.
The 1.8m swath model 12180TM can aerate up to 4500 square metres per hour.

Groundsman’s elliptical plunge action aeration mechanism is modular:
The 8120CTM uses two four-arm modules.
The 12180TM model uses four-three arm modules.
All are driven by a 5/8″ Oring sealed chain for maximum life and minimum maintenance.

Both machines accept the full range of Groundsman SC (spigot clamp) holders and a wide range of Groundsman tines, including Solid, Needle, Hollow, Chisel, Star and Cluster tines.

Attachments include Turf Retainers and the amazing Flexblade Core Collector which gathers the cores as they are being produced.

The machine has been designed to confine the soil cores within the swath for collection with Groundsman’s patented Flexblade Core Collector attachment. Core and collect in one pass. This amazing attachment has a series of plates like shovels linked together to follow the grass surface contours gathering 60% of the soil cores before they land on the ground and the rest are scooped cleanly off the surface. The cores are tipped in a pile when the machine is raised on the apron. This implement can then draw the row of core pile into one collective pile leaving the surface ready for top dressing and keeping it in play.
