Campey set the standard at BTME

BTME 2007 will show how Campey Turf Care Systems continue to set new benchmarks for quality turf maintenance equipment, with exciting new products on Stand B35.

The new Dakota D606 Soil Mover/Box Scraper enables a perfectly level finish to be achieved on surfaces such as tees. Weighing 750kg and 1.8m wide, it has a capacity of 1.5 cu m and can be powered by tractors of 30hp-60hp. Featuring very heavy-duty construction, the height of the blades can be adjusted quickly and precisely. Options include laser controls to ensure that precise levels are constantly achieved.

Also new on the stand is the Vredo super-compact overseeder. Available in widths of 0.8m, 1.2m and 1.6m, their space-saving design and innovative operating principle give small dimensions and a lightweight footprint at a seeding width of 35mm. Specially shaped cutter discs make sharp, V-shaped slots with minimal ground disturbance.

After the seed has been dispensed, a roller presses the slit down to give ideal conditions for germination. The Vredo super-compact overseeders are available in both towed and 3-point tractor linkage versions.

Campey Turf Care will also promote the versatile TurfWorks International Fine Turf Greens Maintenance System, which will be displayed on a veteran Jacobsen 622 mower. Nine modular cassettes are available for key maintenance tasks and all attachments can be fitted in seconds and adjusted without the use of tools. The cassettes fit on to the cutting reels of popular brands of greens triples and lightweight fairway mowers.

Other products in the Campey Turf Care stable include the Koro Field Topmaker and Recycling Dresser for quick and economical rejuvenation of turf.

The Dakota Turf Tenders simplify application of materials like top-dressings and attach to tractors or utility vehicles. The 412 and 414 models have an electronic control box for total accuracy.

The comprehensive line-up of Raycam rubber dragmats from Campey has sizes and configurations to meet all turf professionals’ needs. A new, 20mm wide version 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.

Also new is a ‘Tool Carrier’ turf aeration machine from Sweden, which can be towed or fitted to a tractor’s 3-point linkage. This implement can be used for regular turf maintenance of golf courses and sports pitches.
