For turf managers who need verticutting units for use on uneven, hard-to-navigate or compact areas, Redexim recently introduced the Verti-Cut Flex 2000 and the Turf-Tidy 1100.
The Verti-Cut Flex 2000 is designed for de-thatching on uneven and curved terrain, while the tractor-mounted Turf-Tidy 1100 combines flail mowing, scarifying and sweeping in a compact clamshell design, allowing for the quick release of material.
Redexim's Passive Pivoting Suspension system with multiple points of flexibility and floating wings that combine to simulate a spherical range of motion, enable the Verti-Cut Flex 2000 to work continuously across uneven terrain to remove thatch on contours and around curves with less chance for scalping.
Its compact build and agile turning radius work in tight spaces, while its 6.6-foot width can handle larger areas.
The Verti-Cut Flex 2000 requires a tractor with a minimum rating of 30 hp, cuts to depths from 0 to 40 mm and can operate at speeds up to 3.1 mph. A belt-driven system ensures simple operation, and a single grease point makes maintenance straightforward. The rear debris guards can be removed for cleaning, while the floating wings can be folded up for compact storage.
The Turf-Tidy 1100 (above right) is a tractor-mounted, close-coupled cut-and-collect unit that utilizes a flail rotor with 48 hardened knives and 18 wind paddles that sweeps to de-thatch, flail mow and scarify. It requires a tractor with a minimum of 38 hp, and its design makes it easy to pick up, take tight turns. The clamshell hopper has a capacity of 290 gallons and its low-dump design means no lifting is required. Quick-release knives enable fast switching between either a flail or a scarifier.
