NEW MACHINE LAUNCH - TERRAIN'S NEW "ALL-TERRAIN" AIRFORCE

Terrain Aeration launches Airforce Scamper, the smallest, lightest and nimblest of the company's 4 wheeled, ride-on, deep compressed air de-compaction machines to date.

Designed and built by M.D. David Green, Scamper leaves the "air force", the engine and compressor unit powering the probe on a trailer, connected to the machine by a 100 metre long air hose. Sporting flotation turf tyres and driven by an 11 hp Honda engine, Scamper weighs in at ¾ tonne less than Airforce, the larger combined engine and compressor ride-on, and is aimed at golf courses with steeply undulating ground and/or waterlogged golf greens, as well as bowling greens and National Trust properties where access is difficult.

"This machine has a maximum weight of 600 kilos and a top speed of 7mph," explains Green. "It's a step up from Tracker, our pedestrian operated model whose caterpillar tracks inhibited its use on soaked greens without the use of boards. Though light, Scamper is more stable and the hydraulically powered back wheels enable the negotiation of steep banks and tight corners."
