When you do renovations there\ncan be many tractor and trailer movements across a pitch which inevitably lead to\ncompaction.&nbsp; After we\u2019ve put the sand and\nseeds in the ground, an efficient deep tine with the GXi8 helps air circulate below\nthe surface, then, we just leave it alone\u2026it\u2019s a good way to conclude such works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe needed to replace a machine so with dealer, Balmers GM, we\nlooked about to see what was available. The precision and build quality of the\nGXi8 were second to none. It\u2019s light, fast and easy to transport around the\ncountry on a small truck.&nbsp; We bought it\nwith the knowledge that it will be with us for a very long time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Easy tool-free adjustments mean that heave and depth settings\ncan be finely tuned to suit conditions.&nbsp;\nImportantly, the GXi8 HD offers Advance Tine Control a uniquely patented\nfeature which makes sure the tines\u2019 incision into the ground is always precise\nleaving a neat finish. It has a working depth of up to 250 mm and covers a\nwhole pitch in less than three hours.&nbsp; <strong>E<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wiedenmann.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_1901-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wiedenmann.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_1901-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wiedenmann.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_1901-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/wiedenmann.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IMG_1901.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Specialist sports turf contractor, Premier Pitches, has added a Wiedenmann Terra Spike GXi8 HD to its machinery list, specifically for work at renovation time.
