Aerator Maredo GT190 Fraze-Groomer
Aerator GT190 Fraze-Groomer. A set of three Maredo GT190 Fraze-Groomers is suitable for most common 3-piece greensmowers, including Toro, Jacobsen and John Deere. A specific mounting kit is used for each make and model to mount the GT190 Fraze-Groomer. Equipped with a very unique technology. Groomers or light scarifiers are ideal tools for keeping horizontal grass, growth and thatch under control. Common greens groomers and scarifiers can leave visible lines in the green that affect the roll of the ball. The blades of the GT190 Fraze-Groomer are set at a slight angle to the main axis. This causes the blade tips to make short, interrupted cuts. In the image that the GT190 leaves behind, the cuts are barely visible. This while just as much material is removed from the turf as by a scarifier. As soon as a shallow-rooted weed or POA plant is in the area to be treated, it is loosened in this way and thrown into the pre-assembled collector.

A second unique feature of the GT190 Fraze-Groomer is that the main shaft rotates against the direction of travel. Thanks to a compact gearbox, the blades 'lift' the unwanted material out of the green instead of cutting through and 'pulling' into the slot in a normal direction of rotation. This is in contrast to a 'regular' scarifier that will cut the plant in half and work it further into the turf. The brush mounted between the blades also ensures that the seed heads of the POA plant will be thrown into the tray. The total operation is comparable to a treatment with a fine rake; it thins the turf by pulling out the unwanted material that is not (yet) properly rooted.
The working depth can be set to approximately 2 – 5 mm. With the quick adjusters, the working depth of the GT190 Fraze-Groomer is easy to adjust to a maximum depth of 5 mm. It is advisable not to go deeper, because serious damage can be done to the turf. The thickness of the blade is 0.9 mm. A stainless steel collection tray is supplied as standard. The GT190 is an ideal tool for aerating and thinning out too compact turf. It is possible to work at mowing speed with the GT190. However, the slower you drive, the more intensive the mesh pattern.

Quick way to loosen the top layer of your greens and tees
What can sometimes be difficult with the 'ordinary' spike aerators is the fact that a lot of weight has to be used to push the spikes into the soil and the holes produced do not look good. This is always a problem for small machines because weight does not benefit a small machine. To solve this problem, Maredo developed an innovative technique that uses vibrations to drive the spikes into the ground without needing much weight. The six independent spike sections are mounted on a camshaft. As soon as this shaft is driven, the rolling spikes begin to vibrate. These vibrations help the spikes get into the ground. When the spikes are fully pushed into the soil, the vibrating spikes loosen the soil. Loosening the soil is important for reducing soil compaction and achieving healthy grass growth. It is possible to use the aerator GT210 at mowing speed, after which you can immediately play on the greens again. No disruption to players!
Aerator Maredo GT230 HiSpeed-Corer
Aerator GT230 HiSpeed Corer. A set of three Maredo GT230 HiSpeed-Corer units fits most common brands and types of greensmowers and turns into very unique coring machines that remove thatch in a very efficient way with minimal damage to the turf. This makes the use of your greensmower much more versatile and results in considerable cost savings. The English 'coren' means; pricking a plug out of the turf by using a hollow pin.
Felt control on greens can be a stressful operation. Removing felt is usually an operation that takes a lot of time and patience. Often there is no time at all to fight thatch! It is a major operation for the grass on the greens and a green sometimes needs weeks to recover. For years, felt was removed with a scarifying machine. A scarifier is basically a rotary mower on its side, however a scarifier has a circumferential speed that is five times lower than that of a rotary mower.

The good news is that there is a new and unique way to remove the felt: using the Maredo GT230 HiSpeed-Corer. Literally translated, this means: de-felter. The hollow pins in the GT230 cut a round hole and pull out a wad of felt; a nice cut is created. The pins penetrate the felt layer and because material is actually removed, the percentage of felt in the greens will quickly decrease. Because the holes heal within 2 to 3 days, the GT230 can be used very regularly, if necessary. The holes are then no longer visible and great for optimal absorption of spraying agents, fertilizers and irrigation. Ordinary scarifying cuts require a longer recovery time.
The working depth can be easily adjusted by adjusting the front roller to a maximum depth of 25 mm. Various pins are available such as hollow, cross, slicer and solid pins. Easily interchangeable.
NEW: Back brush to sweep sand/dew into just punched holes.
Sweeper Maredo GT250 CountRo-Sweeper
Sweeper GT250 CountRo-Sweeper. A set of Maredo GT250 CountRo-Sweeper units (set of 3) fits most common brands and types of greensmowers, turning them into a highly effective sweeping brush, or one that sweeps topdress material into the grass and aerator holes.
Cleaning and keeping greens clean can be a time consuming chore. Often large blowers are the only option to remove pine needles, excess topdress sand, felt plugs, worm piles or other debris from the green. Most brushes are not suitable for use on the green because they are too heavy or too aggressive. The GT250 is also perfect for brushing dew off the greens.
Technical specifications
-
Comes standard with collection trays
-
Bristle diameter 1 mm
-
Depth 0-12mm
-
Weight 35 kg
Characteristics
-
Very efficient thanks to counter rotation
-
Easy collection of cores or felt plugs from GT230 or other aerators
-
Ideal for sweeping up worm piles, pine needles, dew and much more
-
No damage to the turf due to reduced speed
-
Topdress sand can also be swept in with the optional deflector plate
The Maredo GT250 sweeper or sweeping brush is the only brush that rotates at a lower speed against the direction of travel. Thanks to the compact gearbox, the direction of rotation is reversed and the brushes then rotate against the direction of travel. This direction of rotation is the most efficient direction to clear material. The gearbox also reduces the speed of the brushes. With this lower speed, there is no longer a chance that the grass will 'burn' due to the excessive speed at which the brushes move over the grass. The brush height is easy to adjust by turning the height adjusters in or out. The machine is supplied with plastic collectors as standard (the standard greens mower collectors do not fit the GT250)
Another application is brushing in sand-topdress material. The GT250 features a reversible faceplate that once flipped puts the topdress material back on the ground (directly into the aeration holes or into the grass) instead of ejecting the material into the collector.
Some customers use the units to brush up the dense grass. Thanks to the fact that the brush rotates in the opposite direction, it is possible to thin out the grass slightly or to cut the grass perfectly short immediately after.
Greensroller Maredo GT300 VibeShoe Roller
Greensroller Maredo GT300 VibeShoe Roller. A set of Maredo® GT300 VibeShoe-Roller units fits most common brands and types of greensmowers and makes your green faster. On a green, good ball roll and speed are key concepts. Stimp value and a consistent ball roll are important issues that a greenkeeper has to deal with on a daily basis. Rollers are often used to increase the stimp value and give the greens a consistent ball roll direction. However, a roller often tends to push material forward. As soon as there is enough resistance, the roller will roll over it and leave a wavy pattern. The disadvantage of a roller is always that it will always only apply pressure in one direction to smooth out.

The Maredo GT300 VibeShoe-Roller works differently; the GT300 consists of six perfectly balanced sections (so no vibrations) designed as six 'feet'. As soon as there is an unevenness on the green, the best option is to correct this with the shoe. The GT300 consists of six rounded shoes per unit that, at high speed, make a short rolling movement; they 'walk' over the green, as it were. Pressing down on the turf smoothes the whole surface, increases the stimp value and keeps it more constant, thanks to the fact that the shoes make a small stepping motion, so that the feet don't 'drag' across the green.
With the right settings, a stimp increase of 25 – 30% is possible in one go!
Another application of the GT300 is brushing in or working in topdress material. The height is then adjusted so that the vibrating plates just touch the topdress material. Thanks to the vibration and pressure from above, the topdress material will end up in the right place between the grass.
Overseeder Maredo GT410 VibeSpike-Seeder
Overseeder GT410. A set of Maredo GT410 VibeSpike-Seeder units fits all common brands and types of greensmowers. Is especially suitable for Ostrich and turns it into an overseeder for greens and tees.
Every greenkeeper likes to see a strong turf on his green. A turf that is resistant to disease, is healthy and shows an even growth. Regular overseeding is necessary to create a strong turf.
The problem with overseeding is usually that it is a time consuming activity and requires large machines that cause soil compaction. The solution is the Maredo GT410. This is a unique, patented and innovative overseeder that is not only fast, but also overseeders very neatly and efficiently.

Makes small holes through spikes. The six spike sections per unit roll over the grass and are mounted on a camshaft. Once the drive is engaged, the spikes easily vibrate to the pre-set depth. This prepares a perfect seedbed for the seed. The grass seeds are sown from the front, where the seed box is also located, the dosing shaft in the seed box is driven by the front roller. The dosage can be set via interchangeable gears in the compact gearbox. It is possible to dose up to a minimum of 2 grams per square meter. Once the seed lands directly in front of the spike through the funnels, the spike tip will take the seed and plant it precisely in the perfect seed bed. The rear-mounted brush will pick up any seeds that fall between the spikes and sweep them into one of the holes. Behind it is the rear roller that rolls the whole neatly flat. After that, no further processing is required. The greens are immediately playable again. And since the overseeding of 18 holes only takes 4-5 hours, you can do the overseeding while playing.

Overseeding should be done regularly to create a strong and healthy top layer. However, regular overseeding can be a time consuming activity. The Maredo GT424 overseeder changes this. Thanks to the unique, clean and efficient way of overseeding with a three-piece greensmower, it is now possible to overseed as quickly and cleanly as possible. The GT424 can also be used for efficient sowing of all other types of granulate in your top layer of turf.
Six tine sections create a perfect hole pattern. Seed hoppers are mounted directly behind these tines, which allow the seed to fall directly into the holes. A mounted brush helps to get all the seed in the holes.
