Visitors to ScotGrass next month will be able to see the first working demonstration of the HE-VA Sward Rejuvenator, launched last year at the Royal Welsh Show by Opico. When fitted with an Air 8 grass seeder, the result is a one-pass machine to rejuvenate tired grassland and/or reseed cultivated land. Minus the seeder, it can be used for harrowing swards to remove trash and stimulate grass growth, and will also level out molehills. Comprising a Shattaboard with slicing plates, two rows of heavy duty harrow tines and a Prisma roller, once a seeder is attached then the slicing plates and harrow tines break up and level the soil surface in front of the grass seed outlets. The soil is then firmed behind by the roller. The Sward Rejuvenator has a 3m working width and is available as a mounted machine, retailing from £11,620 +VAT, or as a trailed model from £12,987 +VAT (seeder not included). Working demonstrations of the Strautmann Giga Vitesse 3601 (65cu.m.) forage wagon and the CFS (Continuous Flow System) will also be held through the day, and Opico is also bringing the Sward Lifter, Sward Slitter, and Grass Master to ScotGrass.
