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.
