2.0. Construction and Method of Operation 

2.1. Construction 

GREENS TERRA SPIKE consists of  
the following parts: 

 

Welded machine body 

 

Drive 

 

Adjustable tools 

Three gear speeds can be selected 

on GREENS TERRA SPIKE. 
 

2.2. Method of Operation 

GREENS TERRA SPIKE is hauled by  
the tractor and driven by means  

of a PTO shaft. 
A gear unit inside GREENS TERRA  
SPIKE provides for movement of  

the tines. 
The moving tines are plunged  

into the soil. 
The angle of entry is adjustable. 
With an angle of entry of 90° at 
low speed the punched holes are  
almost vertical. 
With a smaller entry angle  
the tines are sluiced in the soil  

due to the forward movement.  
This breaks up the soil. 
The smaller the entry angle,  
the more the soil is broken up  

(effective down to 70°). 
 

2.3. Product warranty 

We are bound by law to warranty 

our products starting with  
the delivery. 
This serves your safety. 
Please immediately inform  
us about: 

 

Defects of the safety devices. 

 

Repeated malfunctions. 

 

Altered setting. 

 

Problems in handling the  

GREENS TERRA SPIKE.
