GRASS PANBUSTER |
|
| Soil is
comprised of mineral or organic soil particles with spaces called "pore"
space. |
|
This space contains varying
amounts of air and water depending on soil type and conditions. The ratio
of particle to pore space would
ideally by 50:50 in natural un-compacted friable soils. |
|
| However for
most soils the reality is very different. |
|
The demands of grazing and the
regular use of machinery, often in wet and highly unfavourable conditions,
is very destructive to soil
structure and results in the condition described as compaction. |
|
Compaction
starts at the surface and builds progressively throughout the soil
profile, often to considerable depths, preventing water
penetration and the movement and up-take of all essential elements. |
|
As the soil particles pack
closer and closer together pore space is eliminated and the soil is devoid
of air and water, thus denying grass
plants the "essentials of life". |
|
An appropriate
aeration program can increase worm population and activity, and transform
shallow rooting to deep rooting. This in turn
will increase pasture growth. |
|
The overall soil structure
will be more free draining which will improve plant protection in the wet
and the increased root depth will improve
grass production in dry conditions. Independent tests have shown an
average dry matter increase of over 20% in a fifteen month period.

| FEATURES |
|
|
1) Sprung
loaded disks cut a neat
slot through the sod. |
|
2) Low lift
point lifts the soil
structure evenly across the profile
giving good lift with minimum soil disruption. |
|
3) Hydraulic
auto-reset for reliable
performance and maximum
output. Allows break-back pressure to be varied to suit
conditions. |
|
4) Rubber
mounted main pivot (Patent Pending)
allows the leg
to oscillate sideways round obstacles increasing protection
further. |
|
5) Reset
trips up and back to
minimise stress and prevent
stones rising to the surface. |
|
6) Smooth
roller levels the surface
and closes the slot for a
perfect finish. Also gives positive depth control and improved
traction. |
