SCH HGHT Hollow Tine Corer Attachment (HGHT)

SCH HGHT Hollow Tine Corer Attachment: Improve Aeration and Turf Health

Healthy turf relies on strong roots and soil that allows water, air, and nutrients to circulate. The SCH HGHT Hollow Tine Corer Attachment helps create these conditions through effective soil aeration.

Designed for the SCH HGF Carrier Frame, it removes small cores from the ground as it travels. This helps relieve compaction while opening channels into the soil.

The HGHT hollow tine corer is designed exclusively for the 1,020 mm (40-inch) SCH HGF Heavy Duty Carrier Frame. Please note that the carrier frame is available separately.

Remove Soil Cores for Effective Aeration

Unlike solid tines, the SCH HGHT uses specially shaped hollow tines to extract plugs of soil and turf. This provides an effective method of relieving compacted ground.

As each tine enters the surface, it collects a small cylindrical core. During the following rotation, the next entry pushes the previous core from the tine. This automatic ejection process allows the attachment to continue working efficiently, producing clean and consistent holes across the treated area.

The result is improved movement of air and water through the soil. This creates better growing conditions around the grass roots.

Help Nutrients Reach the Root Zone

The channels left behind after hollow-tine aeration offer another important benefit. They provide direct routes into the soil for lawn treatments. Top dressing can work into the newly created holes rather than remaining entirely on the surface. Fertiliser and its nutrients can also reach deeper into the root zone.

Water penetration is improved in the same way. This can help the turf make better use of rainfall or irrigation following treatment.

Together, these benefits support healthier grass and stronger root development.

Relieve Compaction and Encourage Stronger Turf

Regular use and foot traffic can gradually compact the soil beneath grass. This restricts the spaces needed for air, water, and healthy root development.

Hollow-tine coring physically removes material rather than simply pushing soil aside. This makes it a valuable treatment where compaction has become a concern. Reducing compaction encourages roots to develop deeper into the ground. Stronger root systems can help create healthier and more resilient turf over time.

The HGHT Hollow Tine Corer Attachment is therefore very well suited to routine lawn care where maintaining good soil structure is a priority.

Wide Coverage with 32 Hollow Tines

The SCH HGHT has a working width of 1,020 mm, or 40 inches. This allows it to cover a useful area with every pass. Eight discs are positioned across the attachment, each of which carries four hollow tines, giving a total of 32 tines across the unit.

This arrangement helps produce consistent coring across the full working width. The precision-shaped tines create neat holes while maintaining an efficient core-ejection cycle.

The attachment has an unballasted weight of 15 kg.

Designed for the SCH HGF Carrier System

The HGHT fits into the 1,020 mm (40-inch) SCH HGF Heavy Duty Carrier Frame, creating a practical system for mechanical lawn care. Its purpose-built construction allows it to attach quickly and securely to the compatible frame.

The HGF Carrier Frame itself can support a wide range of implements, allowing operators to change their setup when different turf maintenance jobs are required.

Please note that the carrier system is not included with this corer, so must be purchased separately if you don’t already own one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the advantage of using hollow tines instead of solid tines?

Hollow tines remove small plugs of soil rather than simply creating holes. This helps relieve compaction while providing channels for water, air, nutrients, and top dressing to reach the root zone.

Q: Does the SCH HGHT Hollow Tine Corer come with the carrier frame?

No. The HGHT corer is an attachment for the 1,020 mm (40-inch) SCH HGF Heavy Duty Carrier Frame. The compatible carrier frame is required for use and is available separately.
