| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the importance of seedbed preparation and profiles two pieces of seedbed preparation equipment: Gound-Hog and SEEDA-vator. States that "how well you prepare your seedbed will determine the health of your turfgrass stand." Discusses the steps before prep work: testing texture and pH, irrigating, evaluating grading, and drainage evaluation. Also suggests ssome implements to use before finishing the job: rock picker, tractor rake, box scraper and drag or harrow. Notes that "instead of combining several pieces of equipment to get the job done, you can choose one implement designed to till and smooth soil in one swipe," for example, Groud-Hog which can help a seedbed instantly by tilling, leveling and raking in one operation. Discusses pre-seeding implements that can fall into two groups: tow-behinds, which are attached to a drawbar and bolted to a tractor frame; and hitch-mounted systems, which are used by the tractor's hydraulic 3-point-hitch system. |
