Sports fields

In sports field management, caring for and providing optimum grass growing conditions, is a primary consideration for grounds and maintenance managers.

The paddock harrow has been developed to support grass management by removing dead thatch, aerating the sward roots and supporting improved water infiltration for better drainage. It is also effective at removing and spreading worm casts and ripping out moss, enabling a tighter knit surface.

Ideal for specialist grass management applications:

  • Sports fields
  • Parks
  • Golf courses
  • Outdoor grass training facilities
