Description

The Imants RootPruner is a one-pass root pruning system that can prune roots up to 6” in diameter with minimal surface disruption and no need for clean up.

Optional Attachment: Imants QuickDarin

 

The RootPruner’s unique action of cutting the root in two areas prevents root encroachment into vital areas, eliminates loss of valuable water and nutrients, and prevents surface damage. It also has the ability to decompact tight, narrow areas with ease. The RootPruner includes a unique patented triple-reduction planetary gearbox for smooth, maximum torque drive to rotor shaft. The RootPruner also features a factory-set, torque-limiting PTO shaft.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Labor and time savings with one pass system
  • Unique dual cutting eliminates the root’s ability to reconnect
  • No clean-up with minimal surface disruption

 

The Imants QuickDrain is an innovative attachment designed for the Imants RootPruner, transforming it into a highly effective one-pass soil modification system. This system is particularly suited for small ancillary areas, such as those found on golf courses, sports fields, and small turf areas. The QuickDrain attachment significantly improves drainage and enhances the root zone’s properties by introducing dry sand to a depth of 7 inches at a spacing of 11 inches. It is important to note that the QuickDrain attachment must be removed when using the RootPruner for its traditional function of cutting roots. The QuickDrain is known for its efficiency in increasing the soil’s ability to move water, providing a quick and minimally disruptive process for improving drainage​.

 

Designed predominantly for turf care contractors and golf courses, the Imants QuickDrain is a secondary drainage tool that attaches to the Imants RootPruner, allowing for the creation of sand slits. This is particularly useful in assisting drainage and drying out wet areas, especially in high traffic areas. The QuickDrain is available for 2018 models onwards of the RootPruner. The device is not to be used for pruning roots when fitted with the QuickDrain attachment​​.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Efficient Water Drainage: The Imants Quickdrain is designed to provide rapid and effective drainage of excess water from various types of terrain, including sports fields and golf courses while introducing kiln dried sand to a depth of 7
  • Minimal Surface Disruption: With its 2 small 5/8″ slits the Quickdrain creates minimal surface disruption to the surface. This makes it ideal for areas where maintaining the integrity and appearance of the surface is important
  • Versatile Application: The Quickdrain system is versatile and can be used in a variety of soil types and conditions. It’s suitable for both new construction projects and for retrofitting existing areas that require improved drainag
  • Durable and Low Maintenance: The system is built to be durable and requires minimal maintenance once installed. This ensures long-term effectiveness and reduces the need for frequent repairs or adjustments.
