SCH HGHT Hollow Tine Corer Attachment

Effective Treatment for Compacted Turf: SCH HGHT Hollow Tine Corer Attachment

Compacted ground can restrict healthy grass growth by limiting movement through the soil. The SCH HGHT Hollow Tine Corer Attachment tackles this problem by physically removing small plugs of earth.

This process creates open channels beneath the surface, giving grass roots better access to essential resources. It also prepares the ground for more effective applications of fertiliser and top dressing.

The HGHT hollow tine corer forms part of SCH’s 40-inch lawn care system. It is made exclusively for the compatible HGF Heavy Duty Carrier Frame, which is sold separately.

32 Tines Across a 40-Inch Working Width

Efficient coverage is provided by eight discs positioned across the width of the HGHT’s bar. Each disc carries four hollow tines, giving the attachment 32 tines in total.

Together, they work across a width of 40 inches (1,020 mm). This allows a substantial section of turf to be treated on each pass.

The tines are precision shaped to produce uniform results as the attachment travels. With an unballasted weight of 15 kg, the SCH HGHT integrates neatly into the compatible carrier system.

How the Hollow Tines Work

The design of the tines is central to the HGHT corer’s effectiveness. Instead of simply piercing the surface, each hollow tine extracts a cylindrical plug of soil and turf.

When the tine enters the ground again, the newly collected material forces the previous core out. This self-ejecting action keeps the process moving without cores remaining trapped inside.

Neat holes are left behind across the treated turf. Crucially, soil has been removed rather than merely displaced to the surrounding area. This makes hollow-tine coring particularly useful when relieving soil compaction.

Create Better Conditions Below the Surface

Grass roots depend on a healthy soil structure to develop properly. Heavy use and regular foot traffic can gradually compress the ground and reduce the available space within it.

Removing soil cores helps open up the root zone. Air and water can then move more freely into areas that were previously compacted.

This encourages stronger roots to develop deeper into the soil. Over time, improved root growth can contribute to healthier and more resilient turf.

Make Lawn Treatments More Effective

The openings created by the SCH HGHT are also useful after the aeration process. Top dressing can settle into the cored holes and reach below the immediate surface. This helps integrate the material more directly into the soil profile.

Fertiliser nutrients can also travel towards the root zone more effectively. Water from rainfall or irrigation has similar routes into the ground.

This makes hollow-tine aeration a valuable preparation before applying suitable turf treatments.

Part of a Versatile SCH Lawn Care System

The HGHT has been purpose built for the 40-inch (102 cm) SCH HGF Heavy Duty Carrier Frame. It fits quickly and securely into the frame when coring work is required.

The HGF carrier frame can accommodate a range of compatible lawn care implements. Owners can therefore use the same carrier system for different seasonal maintenance tasks.

Please note that the SCH HGF Carrier Frame is not supplied with this attachment. It is available to purchase separately, if required.

Built for Dependable Service

Based in Suffolk, SCH manufactures robust, ready-built equipment for garden and grounds maintenance.

The company focuses on practical engineering and durable construction. Its equipment is designed to deliver dependable service over many years.

The HGHT follows this approach with a simple and effective coring system designed for regular turf maintenance.

Improve Your Turf from the Roots Up

For turf affected by compaction, the SCH HGHT offers an effective mechanical treatment. Its 32 hollow tines remove soil cores while creating channels throughout the root zone.

These openings improve access for air, water, nutrients, and top dressing. The 40-inch working width helps you treat larger areas efficiently.

FAQs

Why choose a hollow-tine corer rather than a solid-tine attachment?

A hollow tine extracts a plug of soil each time it works the ground. This removes material from compacted turf and creates open channels for air, water, fertiliser, and top dressing.

What equipment do I need to operate the SCH HGHT Corer?

You will need the 40-inch SCH HGF Heavy Duty Carrier Frame. The HGHT corer is designed exclusively for this frame, which is not included and can be purchased separately.
