Turfing tips

[Jimbob87]

Where i get my turf from has a rotor rake smart kit. do you need good sized gardens we do alot in the 50 to 80 m2 gardens. what do you powerharrow with? compact tractor? how you do small gardens. whats the box grader do in the bottom pic

 

If it were under 100m2 id just do it by hand as its a job to turn it around unless there are empty borders at either end & the ends usually need abit of hand raking to finish off. The blec rake runs on a honda f720. Ive got a bcs camon two wheel tractor that runs a 50cm wide power harrow, the bigger gardens take a little longer but makes a good job. Smaller gardens i power harrow, rake out, roll with the bomag, rake again then roll again. Ive tried many different ways of preping since i started by myself & the way i discribed in my last post as well as this 1 seems to yield the best results in the quickest time. The box grader on the tracked f720 is used to level rough sites before cultivating, ive also got a 3 bar leveling frame that does quite a good job of leveling after cultivating before raking.

 

Thanks just looked at the tractor unit and powerharrow smart kit not too dear either i would imagane worth there weight in gold more suited to us than the power rake thanks for that

The powerharrow saves to end of time compared to the rotovator. The bomag bw55 is worth a look aswell for small lawns so much better & easier than hand rolling!!
