The Prodig folding grass fork. The Prodig folding grass fork.

Aimed at contractors or large scale operators using industrial style loading shovels, the Prodig folding grass fork imported by Giltrap Agrizone looks up to the task.

Available in widths 3.6, 3.9, 4.2 and 4.8m, units carry 14, 16 or 18 Hardox steel tines that are 40mm wide and 1525mm long, set in a heavy box-steel bottom beam with a full length hardened cutting edge.

Folding to a transport width of 2.56m in the case of the three smaller units and 2.89m for the largest is by twin 90mm double acting hydraulic cylinders. A hydraulic accumulator and buffer pads relieve shock loads and a locking mechanism ensures safe road transport.

The folding pivot points are 60mm diameter and have replaceable phosphor bronze bushes. The construction of the rest of the frames is from heavy-duty high grade steel box sections with plating at key stress points.

Weight: 1230-1450kg.
