Wiedenmann UK’s popular rough management duo of the Super 500 and the Terra Rake give the Wiedenmann Terra Spikes a run for their money when it comes to a wish list kit for golf courses. Fortunately all three machines will be well represented on stand Red 218.
“For rough management it’s the combination of how they save huge amounts of time together with their unrivalled versatility that makes them so popular,” say Wiedenmann UK.
“If you have ‘traditional ‘ridge and furrow’ undulations the Super 500 follows contours easily without scalping and produces a consistent height of cut, whether scarifying or flail mowing. It also is a very thorough leaf collector. The Terra Rake will work in tandem. It scarifies, pulls out thatch and can help us with a long list of other tasks.”
With 11 separate Terra Spikes it’s the class leading Terra Spike GXi8 HD that will get the nod. Superfast, efficient and precise the1.8 m wide GXi8 HD can potentially access all areas at depths to 250mm.
“Look out, too, for the Terra Float Air pneumatic seeder and the swivelling Mega Twister blower. It’s a great opportunity to see these up close and appreciate the simplicity and excellence of their German engineering.”
