Golf clubs are under pressure to keep the course in play continually, which is why it is necessary to overseed greens and tees regularly and rapidly. The course needs to stay qualifying, so the sward needs to stay in an optimum condition Ideally, the operation should be carried out without any disruption to play. The Super Compact meets all these requirements. This machine is capable of depositing fine grass seed such as Bentgrass (Agrostis) at a precise quantity (>3gr/m2) and depth (3/4mm) in the turf. The sharp discs provide surface aeration and the roller ensures that the green is left fast and true. An innovative hydraulic system enables easy adjustment of the sowing depth of the towed machines from 0-20 mm. Even with extreme undulations the machine retains the correct sowing depth. The 3-point design is also extremely maneuverable.
Models
The Vredo Supercompact is available in five models:
- DZ 208.035 with a working width of 0.80 meter
- DZ 212.035 with a working width of 1.20 meter
- DZ 216.035 with a working width of 1.60 meter
- DZ 218.035 with a working width of 1.80 meter
- DZ 222.035 with a working width of 2.20 meter
These overseeding machines are available in two versions: as 3-point or as towed version.
Continuous seed distribution
The machine is equipped with a mechanical seed distribution. The mechanical seed distribution is continuously adjustable from 3 to 210 kg per hectare. The seed gets equally spread over the seed-elements and placed in between the discs. Due to this, all the seed gets into the ground.
The capacity of the seed hoppers is 440 liter in total.
Double discs
Overseeding is only useful if the seed is sown directly into the soil. The Super Compact Series is therefore also equipped with the Vredo-Double-Disc-System. Only that system guides all the seed into the narrow slot. Every machine is equipped with a compaction roller, that closes the slit and endures good contact between seed and soil. Water and nutrients have thereby easy access to the seed, this guarantees a quick germination and deep rooting of the injected seed. The discs, in a double row, have a row distance of 3.5 cm and are sprung separately, which results in a complete, close and healthy sward without weed. Research has confirmed that the Vredo Overseeding System generates a germination rate of 96%. Because the seeding depth is precisely adjustable from 0 to 25 mm, this high result can be achieved.
VREDO Overseeding principle
- Double V-shaped discs which make a small cut in the soil.
- Seed is placed in between the discs.
- The slit is closed by the compaction roller.
- Optimal situation for germination: The seed is in contact with the soil and gets the optimum amount of light and air.
- The seed is protected against weather influences such as frost and birds.
The combination of Double Discs and the spring and turf guard ensures an optimal seeding depth which means the most efficient usage of expensive seed.
Every seed counts!
