Since 1985, the Dutch company GKB has developed user-oriented and innovative machines that are adapted to all types of sports surfaces. For the greenkeeper, the primary goal is to create perfect playing surfaces from green to tee. SF120 is developed to help you achieve this goal SF120 combines vertical cutting, removal of materials and direct sand filling in only one run, a process that with other methods available on the market requires up to 6 people to work.
SF120 is a versatile machine and helps with advantage at different times in your maintenance program. For example, if you want to cut vertically and collect the remaining material, it is excellent to use the machine without the sand container. Or if you want to rationalize even more, for example, it is excellent to mix in grass seeds in the dry sand to thus support sowing in the same run.
The slit rotors' knife mounts have a special design with wings connected to the knives, which together create a strong air flow that moves the material to the tipping container. When the tipping container has become full, it can easily be tipped hydraulically sideways to be emptied, the sand container can be filled at the same time and then the SF120 is ready for use again.
Greenkeepers are well aware that vertical cutting and sand filling are a well-proven combination to prevent thatch problems while improving drainage and root growth. Why not do both jobs at the same time in one work step? It saves time and provides a significantly faster return to full playability.
How does the Sandfiller work?
1. First, a rotor with scarifying blades mills slots in your turf.
2. The milled material is blown into the collection container by the wind vanes.
3. The machine fills the slots accurately with sand, by means of a broad hydraulically powered sand conveyer belt and the stainless-steel sand fill unit.
4. Finally, two oscillating rollers press down on the turf.
After the operation, the Green, Tee or Fairway will instantly be available for use again

GKB Machines is part of the GKB Group. Since 1985 GKB Machines, as a separate division, is engaged with the development of innovative maintenance machines for sports pitches.
GKB Machines feel strongly about sustainability, as a family-owned company they aim for a sustainable company with a positive future prospect. That they do not just stick to words is evident from the fact that they are producing the machines energy neutral.
Sustainability is also highly important during the development of the machines. GKB develop the machines from the experience they have established from their contractor division. Every GKB Machine must satisfy the high-quality requirements that they impose. A sustainable, reliable and robust machine is the foundation for your operation. Since their contractor division is used to receiving these type of machines, you might also expect this from GKB.
"The Worker is King"
The machines that GKB develop are reliable, robust machines. They owe this fact to the fact that they are still working with the machines as well. GKB knows what the man who does the work requires to operate in a good and efficient manner. Therefore, they are using a new slogan: “The Worker is King”. This is important, since only in this way the machine can deliver pitches that look great. The reason why you purchased it.
