SCH HGS Slitter Attachment (40 inch) (HGS)

SCH HGS Slitter Attachment (40 Inch): Improve Drainage and Encourage Healthier Turf

Healthy grass depends on good access to water, air, and nutrients. The SCH HGS Slitter Attachment helps these essentials reach deeper into the soil by creating narrow openings across the surface.

Designed for the SCH HGF Carrier Frame, this heavy-duty attachment is ideal for maintaining established grassed areas. It is particularly useful during late spring and wet summer conditions, when drainage and turf health can become concerns.

Create Better Conditions Below the Surface

Compacted or poorly draining ground can restrict the movement of water and air through the soil. This can affect root development and contribute to unwanted surface moisture.

The SCH HGS tackles these problems with free-floating, spring-spaced slitter stars. As the attachment travels over the lawn, the stars make clean, narrow cuts in the soil. These openings help water, air, and nutrients penetrate further into the root zone. Improved access to the essentials encourages deeper root growth and stronger grass.

Better surface and subsurface drainage can also reduce water accumulation. In turn, this helps create conditions that are less favourable for moss.

Free-Floating Slitters Follow the Ground

The free-floating design allows the slitter stars to work effectively across the turf. Their spring spacing helps them penetrate the surface while creating the required narrow cuts.

Unlike treatments that remove material from the lawn, the HGS works by slicing into the soil. This provides a practical way to improve growing conditions while maintaining the grassed surface.

Regular treatment at suitable times can support vigorous turf and stronger root development.

Add Ballast for Deeper Penetration

Ground conditions vary, so greater downward pressure may sometimes be beneficial. SCH supplies the HGS slitter with two 25-litre ballast containers for this purpose.

When filled, these containers increase the working weight of the attachment. The extra pressure helps drive the slitter stars further into the soil.

The HGS weighs 18 kg without ballast and has a ballast weight of 90 kg. This ability to add weight allows more effective penetration when conditions demand it.

Cover Ground with a Wide Working Width

The SCH HGS provides a working width of 1,020 mm, equivalent to 40 inches. This generous coverage makes it suitable for maintaining larger lawns and grassed areas.

Each pass treats a substantial strip of turf, helping you make efficient progress. This is useful for estates, large gardens, paddocks, and other maintained grounds.

Despite its heavy-duty construction, moving the attachment between jobs is straightforward. Integrated transport wheels make it easier to travel between the work area and storage.
