VERTI-cutter
Thatch control & turf renovation
The VERTI-cutter brings true vertical mowing to the toughest renovation jobs. Closely spaced blades cut through thatch, stolons, and grain to stand the canopy up, improve water and air infiltration, and prepare a surface for overseeding or sprigging. Blade depth and spacing are matched to the job — from light grooming to aggressive renovation.
Why it works
True vertical cut
Blades slice cleanly through thatch and stolons instead of tearing — for faster recovery and a healthier canopy.
Adjustable depth
Dial in from light grooming to deep renovation to match the surface and the season.
Sprig Digger option
Convert harvested material into sprigs for efficient establishment of new turf.
Field-proven build
Hardened blades and a rigid frame hold spacing and depth pass after pass.
