REESINK SECURES 1ST PRODUCTS UK DISTRIBUTION
Tractor mounted aeration equipment

Reesink Turfcare has announced it has secured the exclusive UK distribution rights for a specialist range of tractor mounted aeration equipment from the American-based company 1st Products.

 

Aeration, thatch removal and seeding are offered by the range of 1st Products tractor attachments which are now available.

 

The UA-60, complete with Aera-Vator shaft, is part of the new specialist aerator range

 

Steven Haynes, sales manager for TYM, which Reesink also distributes said, “We’re introducing three core product lines back into the UK from 1st Products, having been previously imported by Mumby Machinery.”

 

First in the range is the AERA-Vator, a subsurface aerator whose osilating vibrating tine system loosens, rather than punches, the soil around and underneath each tine. According to the company this allows better air and water infiltration and eases soil compaction, it also doesn't leave cores or plugs behind, meaning less post-aerification clean up. The unit is also able to aerate dry soil to reduce the expense of pre-irrigating.


The AERA-Vator has the additional benefit of being designed with a universal frame system, so extra shafts can be added to expand its capabilities. The shafts, available in conjunction with the AERA-Vator through Reesink Turfcare, are the Multi-Tine, Multi-Slicer, Multi-Spike and the non-PTO Coring shaft.


The big brother of the AERA-Vator, is the AGRI-Vator. A larger machine suitable for relieving soil compaction on bigger areas such as race courses and polo fields, the AGRI-Vator brings the same oscillating hubs as found on the smaller AERA-Vator, but with larger tines to provide more depth and subsoil fracturing. The tines create holes which are six inches deep and their aggressiveness can be varied by changing the PTO RPM and groundspeed.


Reesink say the biggest advantage of the last item in the range – the VC Verti-Cutter – is the speed and depth which the machine can work to. Depth adjustments can be made in the field with no tools using a simple detent pin allowing the height to be adjusted in 5mm increments. It has a unique swing-hitch allowing for enhanced manoeuvrability around obstacles without the need for the operator to lift the unit and the pivot points in the hitch, as with all frame and shaft assemblies, allow the unit to turn and float over uneven terrain.


Steven concludes by saying, “This range from 1st Products was chosen to give customers even more value from their tractor investment. Reesink is careful in selecting items to pair up with existing products, but with 1st Product’s reputation and almost 40 years’ experience as a leader in the turfcare market, we’re happy to partner with them to bring a reliable range of quality attachments to our customers.”
