The Ultimate Stone Burier and Soil Preparation Solution: The Blecavator


July 8, 2024

Soil preparation typically requires numerous machines and a large workforce to achieve the desired results. With the need for screening, stone burying, turning over, and smoothing turf, maintenance professionals often find themselves juggling various tools and landscaping equipment. This process leads to inefficiencies and higher labour costs.

The Blecavator is an innovative stone burier and soil preparation equipment designed to streamline this process. Its creative design combines multiple functions into a single pass, reducing the need for additional machinery and personnel. Our stone burier can be used in turf and landscaping projects from golf courses to sports fields to public parks and recreation areas.

Two Blecavator Models to Choose From 

The Redexim’s stoneburier comes in two different sizes. The Blecavator 145 has a working width of 1.45 m (57″) and weighs 751 kg (1656 lbs). This machine is ideal for smaller areas and is best used as a stone burier for preparing soil in compact spaces where heavier and more extensive equipment may not fit. 

The Blecavator 210 has a working width of 2.1 m (83″) and a weight of 911 kg (2008 lbs). This machine requires a tractor with 60-90 hp and is suitable for larger areas. The Blecavator 210 has the same stone-burying capability as the 145; it covers more ground. For extensive soil preparation tasks, the Blecavator 210 is the model of choice.

Trawniki z Rolki, a sod farmer from Poland, achieved remarkable results by employing Redexim’s Blecavator and Turfseeder, supplied by our regional partner ProGrasS Polska. To prepare the perfect seedbed, Trawniki z Rolki utilised the Redexim Blecavator to ensure that the soil was free from stones and other debris, creating an ideal environment for planting.

After the seedbed was meticulously prepared, the sod farmer used Redexim’s Turfseeder to precisely sow the seeds. This combination of tools allowed for optimal seed placement and growth conditions. A year later, the diligent efforts paid off, and the sods were ready to be harvested, showcasing the effectiveness of the Redexim Blecavator and Turfseeder in professional sod farming.
