KORO FTM

Heavy-duty fraise mower for surface restoration of sports pitches

The undisputable success of the KORO® FIELDTOPMAKER® across all sports surfaces has helped produce healthier turf through greatly improved surface hygiene, and the remastered 1.2m, 1.6m, 2.0m and 2.5m models build on that success. To make the machines more user-friendly for golf the weight and balance have been analysed, resulting in a lighter, steadier experience. Solid locking pins now offer greater consistency and the overall performance is improved due to the re-designed patented UNIVERSE® rotor and angled cross conveyor.

The new angled cross conveyor has been introduced to move material evenly with perfect belt tracking, whilst the weight of the machines has been reduced using a removable 100kg that greatly improves the overall weight balance.

This redistribution of weight means a much smaller tractor can be used to run the KORO® FIELDTOPMAKER®, because the centre of gravity has been shifted towards the tractor making it easier to lift. Even when the weight is removed the machine still has improved balanced against previous models.

Maintaining the new range of KORO® FIELDTOPMAKER®’s has also been enhanced to ensure working reliability. A modular set-up allows the machine to run without belts and the strong state of the art driveline is maintenance free.

All of the range can facilitate the enhanced patented UNIVERSE® rotor which offers improved clean up and greater surface hygiene. Previous rotors will fit on the 2.0m and 2.5m models but not on the 1.2m or 1.6m.

Features

  • Specifically designed for all sports turf and golf OFFICIAL DISTRIBUTOR campeyturfcare.com course maintenance
  • Solid locking pins for consistency
  • Improved clean up due to new re-designed UNIVERSE® rotor and angled cross conveyor
  • Large diameter rollers for stability and super depth control

 

KORO® TERRAPLANE® Rotor

The Terraplane Rotor® now leads the way in accuracy of cut, blade durability and surface hygiene. Coupled with the KORO® FTM®’s infinitely fine, depth adjustment (accurate to 0.1mm), the Terraplane® Rotor will shave off the precise amount of organic material required, leaving a clean, smooth and even surface. The durability of the tungsten-faced blades prolongs the accuracy of cut, and reduces the down-time associated with changing blades. The unrivalled surface hygiene of the Terraplane® Rotor eliminates any clean-up pass and saves time, labour and fuel costs.

  • Accurate planing of surface down to 50mm deep.
  • Unrivalled surface hygiene for a clean, smooth surface.
  • Tungsten faced blades for increased durability & reduced down-time.
  • Terraplane® rotor N2008947

 

Campey™ Universe® Rotor

The UNIVERSE® rotor was initially developed for the removal of organic build up from the surface of semi-synthetic natural turf pitches that are now common in professional stadiums around the world.

The UNIVERSE® rotor (fitted with 10mm blades) achieves excellent surface hygiene without damaging the exposed synthetic/hybrid fibres. In one pass the whole annual renovation process to include dressing with 40/50 ton of sand, fertilising and overseeding can be carried out in one day instead of 4/5 days, with the process known as Koro UNIVERSE® Fraize Mowing.

UNIVERSE® Fraize Mowing on natural/hybrid surfaces allows the turf professional to maintain the original quality of the surface.

  • Removing organic debris from semi-synthetic grass pitches
  • Campey™ Universe® Rotor Fraize Mowing on warm and cool season grasses
  • 3 different thicknesses of blades available
  • Tungsten-tipped blades for increased durability
  • Universe® rotor International Publication Number WO2013/027005 WO2014/064407 WO2014/184512

The KORO® Story – A Brief History

The brainchild of Ko Rodenberg, the KORO® FIELDTOPMAKER® (KORO® FTM®) came to market in 1997 as the key machine in a renovation programme designed to improve pitch quality and extend playing hours on natural turf soccer pitches.

The acquisition of the manufacturing rights by Imants in 2009 and the fine-tuning of the “Fraise mowing” renovation practice has led to the design of a new range of rotors. Campey Turf Care Systems has been at the forefront in developing the Imants KORO® FIELDTOPMAKER® into a system that can be used on a wide range of surfaces for a number of different renovation practices. “Koro-ing” is now an established renovation practice worldwide!
