We purchased our VC 60 in 2005 and it has been one of the most dependable and valuable units on the course ever since. We like the way it flexes and turns so that you can go up and down our “mogully” terrain and allows us to make tight turns without stopping, verticutting the whole way. Our tractor is about 35 hp and handles the verticutter easily. We use it for thatching, smoothing, and before overseeding, fertilizing, and topdressing of fairways. Our fairways look marvelous and we get comments daily.
The unit has been basically trouble free except for the occasional “finger” as we call them coming off in too soft ground. That has been solved marvelously with the newly designed shoes, allowing us to cross bumps, dips and soft dirt without scalping turf and the new shoes are super tough and never break.
The only thing we need now is a new set of blades after 5 years, and we’d like to try your new carbide tipped units because with the new skid shoes we expect to be using the verticutter more than ever. Thanks for the great product.
