Campey Imants KORO®

The KORO® Recycling Dresser Recycling Dresser (RCD) aerates the underlying soil vertically

and horizontally, removing soil from the root zone 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. For details, see: www.campeyimants.com.

Campey Imants Imants ShockWave The ShockWave is a linear decompactor, designed to revitalize heavy wear areas by relieving soil compaction, improving aeration and removing surface water. The ShockWave is reputed to be the world’s fastest PTO driven rotary, linear decompactor. All ShockWave models feature a no-chains, direct drive design, maintenance free “sealed for life" bearings and no shearbolts. For details, see: www.campeyimants.com.

First Products, Inc. AGRI-Vator The First Products AGRI-Vator uses a patented vibrating action to loosen and break up the soil without destroying existing turf on the surface. This unit will aerate, seed and accomplish renovations on all types of fields including sod, hay production and sports fields. The crushing action between the roots breaks up the soil in the root zone significantly improving infiltration of air, nutrients and water. That causes as much as 30 percent faster regrowth by stimulating the rhizomes under the surface, an advantage for producers looking for greater utilization of the rhizomes they already own. The AGRI-Vator minimizes lake and stream pollution due to runoff. The operator can vary the tine aggressiveness by changing the PTO and ground speed. Year after year, the AGRI-Vator has proven itself to be the “most versatile piece of equipment on the farm." For more information, visit www.1stproducts.com.
