CHARTERHOUSE LAUNCH NEW SCARIFIER RANGE

By Sue Meeken

Charterhouse Turf Machinery are introducing a complete range of scarifiers ideal for domestic and

The line-up of Pilote branded machines includes petrol-driven and electric models suitable for applications ranging from treating the average lawn to rejuvenating estates and formal grounds.

Scarification is one of the most essential lawn care tasks. The raking action removes thatchy material and organic debris to improve drainage characteristics and to let more oxygen into the root zone. This in turn increases the amount of nutrients available to the grass and encourages the beneficial bacteria that help break down thatch.

The five models in the Pilote range are built for dependable operation and durability. Petrol versions are available with 3.5, 4 and 5.0hp 4-stroke engines, while the electric powered model has a1600w motor. Between them, they offer working widths of 38, 40 and 45cm, and each has a capacious collection bag to gather the removed thatch and other debris. The largest units have a maximum working depth of 25mm.

All Pilote scarifiers meet the latest EU regulations governing safety and noise levels.
