Campey increase Dragmats range

Campey Turf Care Systems have added a newcomer to their range of Raycam rubber dragmats. At 20mm wide, it is twice the thickness of the existing mats and is offered in bigger sizes, making it ideal for large-scale treatment of football pitches, outfields and other grass expanses.

It joins an already very comprehensive line-up with sizes and configurations to meet all turf professionals’ needs. Designed for one-pass operation without damaging the sward, they are available in 4ft, 6ft, 8ft and 10ft widths (1.2m, 1.8m, 2.4m and 3m.)

They can be pulled by hand, mounted on a tractor three-point linkage or attached to turf utility vehicles. The full range will be on view at IOG Saltex at Windsor Racecourse from 5-7 September.

Dragmats can be used to work top-dressing into turf quickly and effectively, and to disperse grass clippings without damaging the grass leaf. They can also remove morning dew on greens for a true playing surface and for preventing fungal activity.

Groundsmen who maintain artificial pitches also use them to groom synthetic turf and hard porous surfaces. So for many turf professionals, a mat is a must!
