The coffee didn\u2019t spill and\ngreenkeepers filmed their versions of the #CoffeeCupChallenge. Impressed, Rick\nSinker, Course Manager at Lymm Golf Club, had dealer, Turner Groundscare, give\na demo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI liked that depths\nof 7, 8 and 9 inches still left the surface smooth. Then you realised its\nspeed; it moved so quickly.&nbsp; Finally,\nwhen you examined closely, it was all about neatness,\u201d said Rick. \u201cIt went so\nwell that we dispensed with our pedestrian aerator because it couldn\u2019t maintain\nthe same clean finish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A year later, the\nCheshire club has a thorough aeration programme. Together with an existing\nWiedenmann XP6, Rick and his team have made steady progress.&nbsp; \u201cAfter you\u2019ve aerated with a GXi8 every other\nmachine seems outdated. Sometimes you don\u2019t even need to cut the grass\nafterwards. Nothing I\u2019ve used elsewhere is as discrete nor comes close to such\nminimal disruption.\u201d&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPrimarily, GXi8\u2019s\nmain job was on greens monthly. However, it was so fast we tried it with 20 mm tines\non approaches and tees.&nbsp; The GXi8 goes to\n250 mm, so not quite the 400 mm depth of the larger XP6, but together they are\nformidable.&nbsp; It was so good we let it do\nmore across the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSurfaces are\ngetting better and better. We do greens monthly with the GXi8 on 8 mm tines (square\npattern) altering depth.&nbsp; It does\napproaches with 12 mm tines, two or three times a year and tees twice. At\nmaintenance in April and September, the XP6 goes the full 400 mm on tees and\napproaches.&nbsp; The XP6 (2012) still leaves\na lovely finish. We repeat on top with the GXi8, using 8mm tines, maximising\nsmoothness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/wiedenmann.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20190807_124320-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wiedenmann.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20190807_124320-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wiedenmann.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20190807_124320-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wiedenmann.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20190807_124320-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wiedenmann.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20190807_124320-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wiedenmann.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20190807_124320.jpg 2025w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year, Wiedenmann\u2019s Terra Spike GXi8 HD was on Twitter in full working mode, a coffee cup balanced as it travelled across a green.
