Groundworks equipment is often essential for the preparation, levelling and maintenance of ground surfaces for a wide range of agricultural and landscaping tasks, such as digging trenches, preparing seedbeds, levelling tracks or installing fencing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Rotavator and a Stone Burier?

A rotavator, also known as a cultivator or rotary tiller, is used to break up and cultivate soil, making it suitable for seedbed preparation and general ground loosening.

A stone burier not only cultivates the soil but also buries stones and debris below the surface, leaving a finer, level finish. Stone buriers are often used for lawn preparation, sports surfaces and landscaping work where surface quality is important.

What is a Tractor Post Hole Auger used for?

A tractor post hole auger is used to drill vertical holes into the ground for installing fence posts, sign posts, trees and structural supports. Mounted to the tractor’s three point linkage and powered by the PTO, it provides a fast and consistent way to dig holes compared to manual methods.

What is a Box Grader?

What is a box grader?

A box grader is a tractor attachment used for levelling, grading and maintaining surfaces such as driveways, tracks and yards. It uses a combination of cutting edges and adjustable scarifiers to move and redistribute material, helping to create a smooth, even surface.

When would you use a Tractor Roller or ATV/UTV Roller?

A tractor or ATV/UTV roller is used to compact soil, gravel or turf after ground preparation. Rollers are commonly used when finishing lawns, repairing tracks or consolidating surfaces to improve stability and appearance. They help reduce air pockets and create a firm, uniform finish.
