HISTORY The origins of Vredo can be traced back to 1947 when farmer’s son B. de Vree started a contracting firm in Dodewaard. The company’s activities were highly diverse and the standard machinery was frequently modified to cope with the heavy clay soil of the Dutch Betuwe. This modification of machinery slowly changed into the development of completely new machinery. Gradually, the contracting firm turned into a construction company and later a machinery manufacturer. In 1976, De Vree produced the first machine it had developed itself. It was an overseeder that was given the name Vredo....

FINE TURF SEEDING TECHNOLOGY Overseeders Vredo Super compact 140 T towed model

THE ULTIMATE OVERSEEDER Thanks to its renowned double disc system, Vredo has been able to call itself the leading overseeder specialist for both the Agricultural market and the Fine-Turf sector since 1976. The sharp cutting discs make a perfect incision in the turf and lay the seed at an adjustable depth in the soil. The stepless variator ensures very precise seed dosage. This guarantees optimum germination of expensive grass seed. The construction of these robustly built machines involves a keen eye for refined detail and top quality materials, making this piece of equipment an investment...

ALWAYS A REASON FOR OVERSEEDING There is always a reason for overseeding grassed areas! You might need to fix common problems such as bare spots, frost damage, drought, excessive precipitation and damage due to use. By keeping the grass young, the quality of the surface will remain high and weeds will have virtually no chance to grow. Consequently, it is no longer necessary to use chemicals or fertilisers (Green Deal). Also in the transition zone, with constant changes between warm-season and cool-season grasses, overseeding is essential to maintaining a dense green surface in every season....

De Vredo Single compact 100 three point mounted design ALWAYS THE RIGHT MODEL Vredo overseeders are big on simplicity so they can be used in all kinds of settings. With working widths ranging from 0.65 to 2.5 metres, there is always a model for every turf, tractor and budget. Vredo overseeders have been shown not only to be good enough for the best football clubs and most beautiful golf courses in the world, they are also used annually to visibly improve numerous campsites, horse-racing tracks, municipal parks, playing fields, cemeteries, dykes, private gardens, etc.

HOW IT WORKS Each seed is unique and requires its own specific setting, which is shown in the seed table The seed is transported from the hopper to the cam wheel. This is driven continuously and pushes the seed over the bottom vane towards a V-shaped edge, causing the seed to fall evenly into the seed tubes. Independently suspended element with a single pivot point follows soil contours. The contour-following element is regulated by a progressive coil spring. The seed now falls through the element and between the discs so there is very little loss of seed. Scraper block keeps the inside of...

The turf closes up immediately after overseeding. To make the sowing cut visible and reveal the accurately sown seed, a great deal of pressure must be applied to the sod. If you do not cut into the turf, the seeds land on the grass and not in the soil resulting in lots of unnecessary waste. Placing the expensive grass seed in the soil instead of on top of it minimises waste. The seed will not shrivel in the sunshine, cannot blow away and will not be eaten by birds. The seed is planted at the ideal depth for germination allowing it to receive enough air, light and warmth for optimal...

The entirely new FINE TURF series LIFTING BENEFIT AND ROLLER ACTION The 220 mm roller diameter means the machine is short and therefore easily lifted. This gives it an optimum ability to follow the contours and control the sowing depth. The roller ensures high peak pressure, leaving the turf smooth and even. In challenging sowing conditions (e.g. thatch or hard soil), handy 20 kg weights can be placed on the machine. OPTIMUM WEIGHT TO OPERATING WIDTH RATIO Its smart construction means the machine is short and low in weight, giving it a market-leading weight to operating width ratio. This...

LARGE CAPACITY SEED HOPPER & LEVEL INDICATOR Thanks to the large capacity of the seed hopper, you can continue overseeding for a long time before having to stop to refill it. The seed level indicator shows you at a glance how much seed is left in the hopper to finish overseeding the last few metres. This increases efficiency and your hourly work rate! HANDY & PRECISE CALIBRATION Expensive grass seed may not be wasted. The dosage can therefore be conveniently and steplessly adjusted. Not only is the newly improved calibration method highly accurate, it can also be done in an instant,...

Single compact The Single compact series is a unique and versatile overseeder that be used in a wide range of situations. An all-rounder featuring a single row of discs giving row spacing of 70 mm. This gives the machine the perfect weight to work width ratio, allows it to be mounted on tractors with a relatively low lifting capacity and comes at an attractive price.
