    I would have thought this is a ride-on triplex machine with fine turf scarifying reels.
    Not the average lawn machine...and looking at the green's surface, not your average lawn either

    ...but you can dream :-)

    However it shows what can be done with skills and the right gear...

    Something to aspire to ....?

    I think it was done by a Koro, the same sort of thing as grading only a much bigger machine. On the last golf course I worked on we used the grader at the end of the season, the stuff it pulled out was amazing...

  • When we scarify we go over the area with a billy goat, if its large we use 2 people and the person on the billy goat starts a few mins after the person scarifying, tends to keep it reasonably neat. 3314639876?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024

  • I thought, and i am no expert, you were supposed to scarify in two/three directions? it looks very nice but most of the lawn isn't scarified!

    Recovery is main thing you are looking for regarding scarifying , so its better to go one direction  and  get 100% recovery and this will   allow it to be done again  sooner

  • how far do you get before you have to empty the bag also the moss doesn't look dead in the photo ? i might be wrong. would not be able to do any scarifying round here at the moment the ground is waterlogged
