SprigLeader No-Till Bermuda Grass Sprigger
We think our new SprigLeader No-Till Bermuda grass sprigger is the most innovative breakthrough in sprigging technology in years. It's designed to plant Bermuda grass, Zoysia, Perennial Peanuts, Mints, St. Augustine and all other rhizomes into existing vegetation with no need for ground preparation. The rig uses a coulter to cut the sod, and that's followed by a subsoil shank that breaks up compaction. A sweep mounted behind the subsoil shank undercuts the sod and opens the furrow, lifting a flap of sod. The sprigs are dropped into the opening and then covering discs move the furrow back into position. Rubber tires pack and firm the sod around the sprigs.
    The sprigger is available in 2, 3, 4 and 8-row models and has a 70 to 250-cu. ft. sprig capacity. (Ron Leader, Grass Roots Engineering, 1044 Spruce Drive, Seneca, Mo. 64865 ph 417 776-1519)
