DESCRIPTION
The name Rotorake has become synonymous with
effectivethatchremovalandcontrol,butthenew
SISISROTORAKE602ismorethanascarier.
A superb thatch remover for regular routine use when
usedatashallowsetting,thispowerful,heavy-duty
machine also has the capability to work deeper
when required. With a maximum working depth of
50mm(2ins),severe thatchproblems,increasingly
common with climatic changes and some of the newer
speciesofgrasses,cannowbecontrolled.Arangeof
interchangeable blades is available for year-round
use.
Even when used at maximum depth the ROTORAKE
602retainsthenesseoftheSISISAuto-Rotorakeand
leaves a clean cut groove.
The ROTORAKE 602 incorporates the well proven SISIS
rotorakecontra-rotationprinciple,wherebythereel
rotates at high speed against the direction of travel.
The blades therefore cut upwards continuously
throwing the thatch forwards rather than pushing
it into the surface. The machine is also held to
the ground to maintain a regular working depth.
TheRotorake602alsocontributestoaeration.The
clean,continuousslitsassistwaterandairabsorption
through a heavy thatch layer and integration of top
dressing is also improved.
UsetheSISIS602toimproveallneturfareassuch
asgolfgreens,bowlinggreens,cricketsquares,lawn
tennis courts etc.
The Rotorake 602 can be set up with an integral
contra rotation principle
seederattachment,sothatitcanbeusedforover
seeding worn areas of turf. The RR602S it can perform
an overseeding operation using either blades or
Rolaspikereeltocreateaseedbed,andapplyingseed
atinnitelyvariableseedratesviatheZ-maxbox.
