Diego with String Roller – versatile solution for sand footings

Robust Construction 

The Diego grader is equipped with front tines that break up uneven surfaces, making it ideal for maintaining smooth and level riding arenas. The leveling plate follows, smoothing the surface to perfection. At the rear, the sturdy string roller not only compresses, but also evenly distributes any material residues, such as fleece or shavings. 

Easy Installation and Versatility

Mounting is straightforward using the rear three-point linkage of your tractor (Cat. I or II). Optional adapters are available for ATV/Quad or other vehicles with hitch couplings. The robust frame, made of powder-coated steel profiles provides excellent corrosion protection and features a multi-height adjustable support stand. Additionally, the unit is also available in a hot-dip galvanized version.

Standard Equipment Includes:

• Front Tines: break up uneven surfaces for initial soil loosening
• Equalizing Plate: smooths the surface for a perfectly level finish
• String Roller: compresses and evenly spreads out fleece,  shavings and other additives without the risk of clogging
• Leveling Bar: assists in compacting and smoothing the surface
• Manual Lifting: for easy adjustment and maintenance
• Three-Point Hitch (Cat. 1 & 2): ensures easy attachment to a variety of tractors
• Powder Coating: offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability

Customization Options

On request and for an additional fee, the Diego grader can be customized with hydraulic lifting, hot-dip galvanizing or the addition of a side scraper. These options provide enhanced convenience and durability, making the Diego a truly adaptable tool for professional arena maintenance.

Advantages Over Other Models

Compared to other graders like the Equus Profi with Mesh Roller, the Diego handles wet sand surfaces better. The Equus Profi arena grader performs exceptionally on quartz sand and its mixtures with fleece but it can struggle with pure, wet sand as its fine mesh roller may clog. The Diego, with its string roller, encounters no such issues, ensuring efficient operation under all conditions. If you’re footing type is on the loose, muddy side and you are looking for more ground compression, discover our Equus Profi with Farmflex arena grader, which has a heavy rubber roller to provide additional support.
