SCH HGS Slitter Attachment (40 inch)

Practical Turf Care for Stronger Grass: SCH HGS Slitter Attachment (40 Inch)

Improve the condition of established grass with the SCH HGS Slitter Attachment. Designed for regular turf maintenance, it creates fine openings that help essential resources reach the root zone.

This slitter attachment works exclusively with the SCH HGF Carrier Frame, which is sold separately. With a 40-inch working width, it provides efficient coverage across larger grassed areas.

Encourage Stronger, Deeper Roots

Healthy turf needs more than regular mowing. Water, nutrients, and air must also reach below the surface, where they can support the grass roots.

The SCH HGS uses sharp slitter stars to make narrow cuts through the soil surface. These channels allow vital resources to penetrate deeper into the ground. This process encourages stronger root development and helps create more resilient turf. It is particularly beneficial during late spring and wet summer conditions.

Improved drainage can also reduce excess surface moisture. This helps discourage the damp conditions in which moss often thrives.

Slitter Stars Designed to Work with the Turf

At the heart of the HGS are its free-floating, spring-spaced slitter stars. Their design allows them to slice cleanly into the ground as the attachment moves forwards.

The narrow openings improve both surface and subsurface drainage without removing material from the lawn. This makes the HGS a useful choice for maintaining established grass.

Its design is suitable for larger gardens, estates, paddocks, and other managed grassy areas.

Adjust the Weight to Suit Ground Conditions

Some surfaces require extra pressure to achieve effective penetration. For this reason, the SCH HGS comes with two 25-litre ballast containers. Filling these containers increases the downward force applied to the slitter stars. This helps them reach further into the soil when additional penetration is required.

Without ballast, the HGS attachment weighs 18 kg. Its ballast weight is 90 kg, providing substantial additional pressure for more demanding conditions.

This adjustable approach gives you greater flexibility when working across different types of ground.

Efficient Coverage Across Larger Areas

The HGS has a working width of 40 inches (1,020 mm). Its broad coverage helps reduce the number of passes needed to treat larger areas.

This makes regular turf care more efficient while ensuring the slitter stars work across a useful width with every pass.

SCH has also fitted the attachment with integrated transport wheels. These make it easier to move the HGS slitter between its storage location and the area being treated.

Part of the SCH Heavy-Duty Carrier System

The SCH HGS is an attachment and cannot be used as a standalone implement. It is made exclusively for the 40-inch SCH HGF Carrier Frame.

Please note that the HGF Carrier Frame is not supplied with the slitter. It can be purchased separately from us to create the required setup.

The carrier system provides a practical platform for different SCH groundcare attachments. You can therefore adapt the setup for different maintenance jobs when required.
