KORO® by IMANTS

THE ORIGINAL AND BEST JUST GOT BETTER
THE REMASTERED KORO® FTM RANGE

The undisputable success of the KORO® FIELDTOPMAKER® across all sports surfaces has
helped produce healthier turf through greatly improved surface hygiene, and the remastered
1.2m, 1.6m, 2.0m and 2.5m models build on that success.To make the machines more user-friendly for golf the weight and balance have been analysed, resulting in a lighter, steadier experience. Solid locking pins now offer greater consistency and the overall performance is improved due to the re-designed patented UNIVERSE® rotor and angled cross conveyor.

The new angled cross conveyor has been introduced to move material evenly with perfect belt tracking, whilst the weight of the machines has been reduced using a removable 100kg that greatly improves the overall weight balance.
This redistribution of weight means a much smaller tractor can be used to run the KORO® FIELDTOPMAKER®, because the centre of gravity has been shifted towards the tractor making it easier to lift. Even when the weight is removed the machine still has improved balanced against previous models.

Maintaining the new range of KORO® FIELDTOPMAKER®’s has also been enhanced to ensure working reliability. A modular set-up allows the machine to run without belts and the strong state of the art driveline is maintenance free.

All of the range can facilitate the enhanced patented UNIVERSE® rotor which offers improved clean up and greater surface hygiene. Previous rotors will fit on the 2.0m and 2.5m models but not on the 1.2m or 1.6m.

Fraze Mowing Results

As a follow up to the example shown in the previous regional update from the West Region, this video shows the results of fraze mowing a bermudagrass fairway. Two years ago the superintendent used a big roll sod cutter to remove a fine-textured soil layer that had developed above coarse-textured, sand-capped fairways. Sand-based sod was installed and allowed to mature without overseeding the first winter. The following summer, fraze mowing was used to remove a heavy thatch layer from the new sod. The fairway was closed for four weeks each summer to recover from the aggressive fraze mowing – but the results have been impressive. Watch the video to see for yourself.

KORO® FTM® – Testimonials

“Currently, we are utilizing the FTM® for a turf conversion project, changing from Bermuda to Seashore Paspalum. After eradicating the existing turf with several pesticide applications, we were able to strip 30 acres (front 9 wall to wall) with the machine in 3 weeks, which we were very impressed by.

Tim Mack, Course Superintendent, Provo Golf Club

“The versatility of the machine matches the versatility of our pitches. It’s a key piece of equipment for us during the renovation period and the Universal Rotor has a lot of applications that mean we can work on the natural, fibresand and Desso pitches.

Paul Jones, Head Groundsman, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club Enfield Training Ground
