Aitchison Turf Drill Details

• Aitchison Turf Drills are true direct drills. The single disc and boot opener creates a narrow slit and places the seed at a precise predetermined depth via depth rings fitted to the discs.
• Unique features allow for ‘drill today ‘ play tomorrow’ options for playing fields. The seeds are lodged in the slot and rolled shut with the heavy cast press wheels. No other drill can make this claim.
• Fitted with heavy duty tyres for easy road transport.
• Large double seedbox with the unique Aitchison sponge seed feed mechanism to sow all seed. Very accurate, infinitely variable ‘gearbox’ allows for sowing rates as low as 1kg/ha and up to 350kg/ha (0.9lb/acre and up to 311lb/acre) with single lever operation. Coefficient of variation of +/- 5%.
• Fertiliser box option. Unique roller fertiliser system handles all fertilisers including damp product. In addition it is able to sow seeds such as rye grasses down to 8kg/ha (7.1 lbs/acre). The fertiliser distribution system uses exactly the same gearbox system as the Seedbox so it is infinitely variable.
• Row widths at only 75mm (3”), close set for dense sward regeneration. No problem to cross drill.
• Angled discs move the turf in a wave like action, slicing and breaking the roots of existing plant material. This stimulates new and invigorated root growth and a thicker sward.
• Minimum soil disturbance and maximum moisture retention.
