BEST stand of turf I have seen. period.
Thank you sir
💯
My goodness, that blue grass is impeccable. Nice work.
Hey Pete, deep tine + plus sand is a great way to improve drainage with little disruption to the surface, but I would caution against using it to replace traditional core aeration in clay. We’ve seen it actually increase compaction on some soccer fields we manage. switched to 1/2” hollow tines in our toro and then top dress with 70/30 and drag it in with our g2 to get rid of the cores. Of course, all dirt is different so solid tines might be fine for your area. Thanks for sharing as always
Yes sir! Understood. This one has solid tines because it came with it LOL. I am sure the make core tines for it and if they do i will for sure get some
Nice! The action of driving forward lifts the soil up when the tines pull out as it introduces an angle to the tine
shining like a new penny!
Greatest backyard in America.
Thank you sir
Nice! I do the same thing with a manure fork in tough spots on the yard...but only a small area as you can guess it's hard work! That's a nice piece of machinery right there!
Funny every time someone has mentioned wearing spiked shoes to walk around and aerate people always said that's bad to do because your compressing the dirt. Yet here we are with a 12in tine.
Ha ha. I wonder who’s actually right???
The turf looks great!
Thanks!
Pete, My brother, hands down, you bring it with your machines. This machine is just incredible. I appreciated watching this video. Thanks again !!!! Stay blessed. Love from CLT !!!!!
😲 that's crazy deep can't wait to see how good it worked
Pete you are the man in the grass CZcams game. Great video my friend 👍
This is absolutely RI-DANG-DICULOUS!! I am sitting here laughing cuz I want one and I don't have the yard for such a implement!! See why God won't let me win the PowerBall!!!?? 🤣 That thing is a monster! Great Grass! Great video! Great editing Isabella!! George Toma look out!! Those footsteps you hear behind you belong to Pete Denny!
😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing!
Man oh man i love me some kbg
Wow, your yard is the best I've seen it. Nicely done.
I can hardly tell anything happen to the lawn. It does a wonderful job. By the way, that kbg lawn looks stellar. Question, PRG or KBJ which is prettier?
I think the blue is prettier. I was amazed at how little “damage” this done to the turf.
That’s a BEAST!
Man that turf looks like a sports field. Still had me nervous you were gonna puncture your irrigation system. What an awesome lookin product, built like a tank 💪
On our soccer fields in MA this is done after top-dressing with sand
That’s wild how it lifts the ground underneath! Watching it press down and the action of it lifting back up at an angle looks like it fluffs up the soil.
She's mint man! Gorgeous grass.
That yard is spectacular!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Kentucky Blue……best of the best
It’s absolutely popping
hey Pete since it is not pulling a core wont that over time compact the soil even more?
If that were the case I highly doubt thousands of golf courses and athletic fields all over the world do this exact thing.
@@GCITurf true, just an honest question
This type of machine lifts up the soil and fractures it as the tine comes up. You can see if lifting the whole soil profile is the slow motion shots. Wiedenmann makes some deep tine machines very similar to this one
You can tell it’s loosening the soil between the holes.
I can’t wait to see you get the attachment and hit those ball diamonds. The infields/outfields are going to be tighter than two coats of paint!
Very impressive Pete thank you
Pete, in your estimation, would you say that KBG is more heat/drought tolerant than ryegrass? Would like to use a turf that can be mowed lower than TTTF but being in the OKC area I’m not sure if I can get away with it.
good question i cant speak for all cultivars of KBG and Rye but the ones I use I think the blue is more heat tolerant for sure and WAY less disease prone
Only 1 problem for us Texas lawn freaks. The spikes go to deep for us. Our sprinkler pipes are only 6-8” deep. So we would have lots of leaks for sure. It looks awesome for sure.
True this. But you can set the depth to what you want it which is nice
I thought everything was deeper in Texas
@@Jgturn11 bigger not deeper we don’t have the cold weather they do. That is why they aren’t deeper in the ground
@@GCITurf that may be worth checking into. The soil here is so dang hard though I think it would work but core is probably better. We have a lot of clay here.
I install and repair irrigation systems. The lines are the same depth up here in NY.
That's the most interesting thing ive seen in a while.
Talk about a new penny! Gorgeous! Pete, is the bluegrass plot becoming your favorite now? Ps - we won't tell your beloved fescue.
🤷🏻♂️😂
Man, I could watch an hour of that a day. Dont do it to me Pete
Wish they had these for rent in my area
What are you going to do about the compaction that happens?
What compaction?
This is not fair LOL....Great Job
160 stands for the working with in centimeters. It's a Dutch machine.
Pete, I’m in Anderson SC and a customer of STEC. Glad to see you working with them. Any chance of the Bluegrass making it in Anderson? With irrigation?
STEC is a great group of folks! If I were you I’d buy the smallest bag of blue heat and test it in a area for one year before you do anything drastic
Also, Pete, what kind of sand do you use for this? And how do you calculate how much sand you need?
Do you think your GCI bluegrass would be viable in North MS?
Ive had several folks down your way have great luck with it. I would recomend you buy that small bag and do a test area year one and see how well it performs.
@@GCITurf thanks…going to order. Blueheat, correct?
@@BooYahPower correct
its quite possible the 160 stands for 160cm which is pretty close to 5ft
Makes sense! Didn’t think about that
Is sand ideal to use with a clay base? I've always heard it's not good to mix the two. Sounds like it's just fine.
Works fantastically for me
@@GCITurf good to know. I do think my yard could benefit from compost though. Maybe I do a mixture
Uncle Pete!
Pete, how come I don’t see any of the KBG seed heads in the blue heat? How do you get rid of them this time of year?
Past that point. They were there 2 weeks before I filmed this video
Im confused i was told that adding sand to clay would make the compaction worse, is this true? I looking forward this fall to adding some blue heat to my carolina yard as well!
There’s a reason thousands of golf courses and athletic fields around the world do this.
Understood, I was planning on going topsoil route but sand seems to be more affordable thank you!
@@commonsenseoverfeelings I’m my opinion a sand / compost / top soil is best
Need a three point Broom for the tractor of some sort.
STEC has one and I may try and borrow it for a few videos. I have a lot of sand leveling work to do this summer so i could use it
Pete the tines are 12 or 8 inches do they have smaller times as not to damage the water lines for your sprinkler system
You can adjust the depth down to 2” if you want. I didn’t have the tool with me to adjust that day
@@GCITurf think that be better then digging up that beautiful yard to repair a water line
@@jaymeyers950 or just know for a fact where the lines are and stay clear of them.
2 things:
I’d do something really bad to have access to a machine like that.
I hope we have some horror movie screenplay writers who are watching this!
😂😂😂
Pete what bout fiber optics cable or tree roots
Know where they are 😂 that’s all I got
@@GCITurf lol fair enough
I'm surprised the weight of that tractor isn't leaving giant ruts in your lawn.
Nah… didn’t phase it
Pete!! Wow is that KBG beautiful! When did it seed out? I’ve been trying to keep mine cut short but it seems like it’ll seed out even when it’s short. Not sure what I need to do to my KBG to get it half has good as yours.
Mine seeded out 2 weeks before this video. It’s natural and healthy for it to do so. I’m trying to figure out why folks want to stop a natural process that turf does.
Are the tines hollow? Couldn’t tell, not sure if your pulling cores or just punching holes.
Solid tine. I’m sure they make core ones as well
Probably 160mm or just over 6 inches
160cm width. Pretty sure it’s a European based company.
Too many people tell me sand and clay end up being a poor mix…?
Works great for me and I have pure NC red clay
At first sight, that doesn't look to be a benefit over a core plug Aerator. Seems like without removing a Core, it's just compacting everything around it🤷♂️
The depth is for sure an advantage. i think thats one of the arguments folks have about this way.
Long tines are breaking through hardpan below creating cracks and fissures in soil which actually helps alleviate compaction
