Koro Recycling Dresser

This fast, cost effective, single pass renovation tool creates unparalleled soil fracturing to a depth of 120mm and produces 150 tonnes/Ha of topdressing with no extra equipment, manpower or logistical backup (such as delivery trucks).

Total soil fracturing, no need for importing & no waste! surfaces experience minimal disturbance meaning no more build-up of perched layers.

By busting through these layers and providing soil from within the profile the functional principals of an ideal perched water table is maintained.

It’s mode of operation is simple yet unmatched in our industry in terms of effectiveness & efficiency, the benefits gained are:

• 120mm de-compaction alleviation,
• Significant aeration and infiltration improvements,
• Black layer reduction,
• Re-activation of locked up nutrients within the compacted soil profile,
• Vertical mixing effect,
• Creates 150 tonnes per hectare of topdressing,
• Surface levelling by filling up worn out & rutted low areas,
• Minimize surface hardness,
• Productivity rate of up to 2 hectares per day,
• Significantly faster than any conventional equipment.

Koro Field Topmaker (FTM)

The ultimate tool for complete removal of vegetative thatch and weed infestation to your requirements, The Topmaker is a fully adjustable, even, accurate (fraise mowing or shaving) surface removal tool that can shave or profile from 0 – 40mm depth.

• Shave the thatch layer, perform minor subsidence levelling or profile for turf replacement,
• Remove thatch or weeds off site in one efficient operation leaving a level clean surface,
• Mechanical weed removal of tufted grasses like Winter Grass, Wire Grass and Cross Foot
• As a harvesting tool for vegetative plant material, grass ‘stolons’ can be generated efficiently and to size depending on turf variety requirements,
• Regeneration of surface is rapid with most of our warm season grasses,
• Pre-emergent herbicides can be applied after FTM to promote a weed free surface.
• Mechanical, not chemical weed removal, save money and the environment

From local parks to major sand profile stadiums.

Turf Installation Systems.

• Line planting and over planting into existing grassed surfaces without disrupting play. Change over your turf grass by over planting with an improved variety to extend the playing hours and reduce costly repair bills. This equipment accurately plants fresh cut stolons into channels with minimal disturbance of the surface. Depending on climatic conditions we can have a 100% cover in as little as 3 months.
• Solid turf with maxi rolls. Available in for all grass varieties.
• "Lay & Play" An extra thick profile that will not move. Ready to use immediately.

Turf varieties include.

• AgriDark—Probably the best sports turf variety available, rapid recovery from damage, high wear tolerance, low leaf water content, low water requirements, fast establishment, good colour retention all year round,
• Oz Tuff—Highest wear tolerance of any turf grass, salt resistant, low water requirements, & low maintenance, no seed head, superior colour retention in drought and cold temperatures,
• Wintergreen—Widely used hybrid green couch with moderate wear characteristics,
• Kikuyu—An old favourite for field in the southern parts of Australia, better suited to cooler climates.
