Rotorake TM1000

A specially designed tractor mounted unit with a choice of five quick release interchangeable reels to aid the removal and control of thatch and help to reduce standing surface water by improving water infiltration.

Features include a contra rotating reel for a clean consistent performance with a selection of various blades to suit key tasks.

The weight of the collection box and material is carried by the main frame on the front roller and independent from the reel, so when in use the additional weight does not force the reel to scarify deeper than has been set.

Thatch Management

It's fair to say that when you talk about thatch, many people say that you need to go deeper and deeper into the soil to remove it.
