JOKER SPORTSFIELD HARROW XL

Horse racing special

The machine for racetrack maintenance.

The Joker XL was designed with racetrack managers in mind.

Highly valued for its versatility, it can be used to service racetracks

With an operating width of 3.60 meters to 4.60 meters, the machine can be fitted with a seeder to reseed needed areas, or for other additional options.

Whether it be for dethatching, dealing with worm castings or re-leveling the soil, the Joker will prove an asset in your daily operations.

ESTHETICS OF THE LAWN

A pass before mowing straightens the strands, for a clean, even cut.

What’s more, with a setting above ground level, between 1 and 5 cm, the Joker doesn’t tear up the clods that are put back in place after the horses have passed over.

The tray is height-adjustable thanks to the gauge wheels, and can operate at different levels.

DETHATCHING

Set at a more aggressive setting (between -1 cm and -2 cm), the Joker will remove thatch and low-rooting undesirable plants to make way for good grass.

Mechanical weeding

The high density of the teeth is a major advantage when it comes to cutting the leaves of strongly rooted weeds, such as plantain or dandelion, to weaken them.   This limits the development of new weeds.

REPAIRING SURFACE EVENNESS

Regular treading will also improve the evenness of the surface, making it safer for the horses.

Relining

As an option, the Joker can be fitted with a pneumatic seeder drill to carry out overseeding operations over a width of 3.6 m or 4.6 m, guaranteeing outstanding yields.

In fact, the machine’s lightness means that it can be used for seeding in winter, at the end of the racing season, unlike other, heavier tools. The seed will therefore be able to germinate before the start of the next season.

Finally, as the seeder is equipped with a remote control within easy reach, the operator can adjust the seed rate according to the needs of each area, avoiding any waste of seed.

Available options

Pneumatic Seeder

Capacity: 120 or 300 liters

Power supply: 12 V

As an option, the Joker XL can be fitted with a pneumatic seeder to carry out overseeding operations over a width of 3.60 or 4.60 metres, guaranteeing outstanding yields.

When the seeder is activated, the fan blasts the seeds through the tubes to the diffusers, distributing the seeds uniformly.

The seed is then mixed into the soil by the tines’ movement, ensuring optimal lawn development.
