The Ryan Turf Equipment Range

The Ryan Turf Equipment line comprises the following robust, easy–to–use, top-quality machines:

• Lawnaire Aerators – Removes small plugs of thatch and soil from lawns to improve natural soil aeration, water and fertilizer uptake and to strengthen grass roots. Productive, durable and easy to transport, Ryan aerators deliver high performance results.
• REN-O-THIN® Power Rakes – Power rakes are designed for efficient and effective dethatching – removal of layers of dead grass to keep it greener and healthier, while minimizing the chance of disease. They offer simple height adjustment for fine-tuning the dethatching depth down to 6 mm below ground level. REN-O-THIN® power rakes provide the option to use reels or cutting blades, without any tools and even an optional seed box for lawn overseeding.
• Mataway® Dethatcher – Built for heavy-duty lawn renovation and verticutting, the self-propelled, walk-behind Mataway® Dethatcher covers up to 1700 m2/hour. Dethatching can go down up to 6 mm below ground level with the use of five exchangeable blade types.
• Mataway® Overseeder – Heavy duty and built to perform, the Mataway® Overseeder places seeds directly into soil slits for fast germination and unmatched seed-to-soil contact. The Overseeder plants grass seed directly into existing turf, without tearing up the turf or the soil.

• Jr. Sod Cutters – Jr. Sod Cutters have been the gold-standard in the golf, sports turf, rental and landscape industries for over 75 years. Four sod cutter models deliver long-lasting durability and dependable performance and are available to lift sod for relocating, expanding or establishing shrub and flower beds. The machines can also be used to remove damaged turf, allowing new sod to be installed instantly.
