Testimonials

  • “I have used the SISIS Variseeder for the last 10-15 years and l have found it a game changer in our cricket renovation works. I run the tractor and seeder at very low speed and in multiple directons, this combined with an appropriate seed rate means we now get no weed growth and a dense canopy of grass after renovations. It’s an unsung hero in what l am able to produce in terms of the quality and density of grass cover and l wouldn’t want to be without it”

    Brian Sandalls

    Academy Grounds Manager at Sussex Cricket
  • Its versatility is its best feature. We overseed three times a year on greens, overseed on tees and surrounds. We use it with different types of seed. If you can buy one machine that can do multiple tasks, then it is a bonus in my opinion

    Head Greenkeeper - Wishaw Golf Club
  • It is incredibly fast and effective and we are seeing much better coverage and a more uniformed establishment compared to when we were doing it by hand.
