Murrayfield Rugby Stadium has acquired a 1.2m Vredo Supa Compact disc overseeder and can now overseed their pitches in a single pass.
The Vredo was purchased from Campey Turf Care Systems through Double A, the company's distributor for Scotland.
Jim Dawson, head groundsman at Murrayfield said: "We have had a large disc seeder for many years but because the discs were causing excessive surface disruption we wanted to find something that would offer closer settings and allow us to seed confidently between games."
The action of the Vredo seed application is a result of the double disc system. The lines of closely spaced discs are only 35mm apart and make a precise cut into the turf where the seed is sown directly in contact with the soil.
This allows the seed to receive all the nutrients and moisture needed to ensure the right conditions for the seed to germinate.
Three models are available, each as a 3-point linkage mounted option or towed with its own hydraulic lift frame.
Working widths are from 0.8m-1.60m with hopper capacities from 36-90 litres.
Tractor power required for towed models is 25hp-35 hp and 35hp-55hp for mounted.
