AERATORS Campey Imants

Koro Recycling Dresser The Koro Recycling Dresser (RCD) aerates the underlying soil vertically and horizontally, removing soil from the rootzone and redistributing it across the surface. Layering and compaction are eliminated, biological activity is increased and existing fertilizers in the soil are better utilized. The Koro RCD reduces the amount of new topdressing required, therefore saving labor and material costs and promoting sustainable, environmentally-friendly maintenance. Three models are available: 1600, 1900 and 2200.
