Sumo GLS Sub Soiler all ready for hire

Our Sub Soiler designed to alleviate structural compaction in the rooting zone leading to better drainage, better root development and increased fungal and bacterial activity. The result is a soil environment that is ideal for maximum grass growth, leading to stronger crops that are better suited to withstand long periods of prolonged rainfall as well as drought.
The subsoiler is equipped with a leading row of adjustable, straight, serrated discs which cut through the turf on individually suspended arms to a range of depth positions. The legs behind then lift and fracture the earth down to depths of 14” whilst the full width, shark fin designed packer, consolidates the land back down to level again whilst aerating the surface as it passes. Finally, the harrow at the back disturbs and removes any dead vegetation on the surface as well as scattering any surface debris

Slit seeding now available from GTR Contracts

By cutting a slit in the ground a natural moisture trap is produced
so that seed germination is maximised and the young seedling
is sheltered whilst it anchors its roots directly into the soil so
minimising losses as grazing commences.

If a slit is cut too deep the seedling can fail as it will run out of
energy and if cut too shallow then it can lose out on the
advantages of the slit, therefore good depth control is essential.

Sports fields apart, grass fields are undulating so depth control
is more difficult. Most drills have a sprung loaded system to help
cope with undulations. However the download pressures needed
or a grass drill to do its job reduces the flexibility of these
devices and can severely compromise depth control where there
are ground contours as all the weight can be concentrated over
several coulters.

Auto contour

With auto contour a secondary suspension system is incorporated to increase flexibility.

The drill frames are partitioned into 1m sections and the download
is applied to each by a hydraulic ram. The rams are linked to
each other so download per frame equalises despite undulations.

This is seen by the changing ram positions as the machine goes
down the field and proven by the consistency of the cuts.
