Our planes were involved in the renovation of a football field

Yesterday our media team was in Kaposvár at the Rákóczi FC stadium, where they caught an Omikron M1800 Plus tiller and a Boxer PI 175 rotating borer at work. The Somogy County team's home ground is being renovated as part of a major project that will see the pitch completely refurbished. The reconstruction is a complex process that requires careful planning and execution to ensure a long lifespan. In this article, we take a closer look at the key steps in the reconstruction process and show you which tools can help you with this type of work.

Assessing the condition and choosing the right tools

The first step in the renovation process is to assess the condition of the track and what tools you will need to start the work. After removing the old turf, which can be done manually or with specialised machinery, we will start loosening the top soil layer with a soil cutter. Ideal for uncultivated, clayey and rocky soils, Omikron M Plus has the added flexibility of hydraulic lateral extension, making it a popular choice for orchards, for example.

The other Agrohof product that was used yesterday was a Boxer PI 175 rotary harrow, which can be useful when the soil is not too stony but you need to crush clods in the soil. The stadium rotary harrow is equipped with a rod roller, which can be changed to a grid structure. It is ideal for parks and farms as it is an excellent tool for preparing the soil in grassed areas. The right tools not only make work easier but can also speed up the work process considerably, not to mention the long-lasting results.

Why is proper soil preparation important?

Tillers and rotary hoes improve soil structure by breaking up the soil, making it easier for plant roots to grow and thus gain access to nutrients and water. Tilling can help control weed growth by burying weed seeds below the soil surface. These various tools help reduce soil erosion and maintain soil health. Overall, proper soil preparation is an important step in the production process, as it lays the foundation for healthy plant growth and good yields.
