Grassland Sward Lifter

We have an Opico Grassland Sward Lifter available for hire (generally with our Fastrac and Driver).

Spec:

3 Leg Sward Lifter with Shear-bolt protection

Disc-Cutting-Wheels with spring units to prepare the turf for the leg and minimise damage

4 Guttler Rollers on each leg with sprung arms, to reform the Sward after the leg has passed

If you are suffering from the effects of constant sheep grazing, have noticed your silage yield dropping, or just feel your grass is looking tired then this machine is ideal to breathe some life back into the sward. It opens up the soil and allows oxygen back in, while loosening the sward so worms can circulate properly.

The drainage improvement can allow stock to be turned out much earlier in the spring, saving on fodder costs.

It takes some getting used to (and even panics some farmers as the initial results can look quite messy!) but it really works - try it and see for yourself! Alternatively call us to arrange a visit and see the results here at Mill Farm. We are seeing definite advanced grass growth where we've used the Lifter.
