Sisis Auto-Rotorake MK5 -powered scarifier and de-thatcher

The SISIS AutoRotorake has been a popular machine for thatch removal and control for many years. The Mark 5 model retains all the excellent features of previous models with new features to make it even better.

The AutoRotorake Mk5 has patented blades, which can be supplied with or without tips, specially designed for increased thatch removal and improved ‘throw’. A 3-point, verticutting blade is also available.

Depth of cut control is mounted on the handle. Careful weight distribution, slick tyres and full differential ensure ease of turning and minimal surface marking.

The 6hp engine and wider working width of 500mm gives improved performance and a faster work rate. The larger capacity grass box is easy to fit.

The Rotorake principle of contra-rotation incorporates a reel of blades rotating at high speed in the opposite direction to that of the conventional cylinder mower. The blades therefore cut upwards, continuously taking fibre away from the surface rather than pushing it into the surface. This also ensures that the machine is held to the ground and a regular working depth maintained.

SISIS ROTORAKE 600 -Heavy-duty, scarifier/linear aerator/seeder A superb thatch remover for regular routine use when used at a shallow setting, this powerful, heavy-duty machine also has the capability to work deeper when required. With a maximum working depth of 50mm (2ins), severe thatch problems, increasingly common with climatic changes and some of the newer species of grasses, can now be controlled with ease. A range of interchangeable blades is available for year-round use, including extra-durable blades for deep scarification.

Even when used at maximum depth the ROTORAKE 600 retains the finesse of the SISIS Auto-Rotorake and leaves a clean cut groove.

The ROTORAKE 600 also contributes to aeration. The clean, continuous slits assist water and air absorption through a heavy thatch layer, and integration of top dressings is also improved.

A new model is imminent and will incorporate a seeding attachment.
