SISIS Auto-Rotorake "Most effective treatment"
View ArticleFive years ago SISIS North America was delighted to supply an Auto-Rotorake to the University of Florida. The Auto-Rotorake fitted with the verticutting reel was the only de-thatcher used for a research project into UltraDwarf grasses. The Auto-Rotorake has proved very reliable over the length of the project and was found to be the most effective treatment for the removal and control of the build-up of excess organic matter.
SISIS Contra – Rotation Principle
The Rotorake principle incorporates a series of blades rotating at high speed in the opposite direction to that of the conventional cylinder mower. The blades therefore cut upwards, continuously taking grass fibre away from the surface rather than pushing it into the surface of the turf. This also ensures that the machine is held to the ground and a regular working depth maintained.
