TIP Groom It with Scratch It attached (10)T.I.P. stands for turf improvement products and that is exactly what these products are about. A range of simple, robust implements which can be attached and operated behind any small power unit. These products will ensure the greens, tees, fairways and sports fields, natural and synthetic, are aerated, swept, brushed, spiked and seeded easily, efficiently and economically.

These are the perfect additions to the range of machines currently available from Campey Turf Care Systems. The T.I.P. Greens Spiker/Seeder is the ideal implement for improving the sub soil structure of your green or for applying seed. Thousands of holes, with more per square foot than comparable spiking machines are punched into the surface. The result improves drainage, relieves surface compaction, increases germination rates and reduces the need to apply fertilisers and pesticides. It does all this with minimum disruption to the playing surface.

Brush-It with its Honda 5.5 hp engine powered brush system is the perfect tool for a wide variety of uses, including windrowing aeration cores, brushing in topdressing, and sweeping cart paths. The Brush-It also helps to save on sand usage by efficiently filling in the holes.
