EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY FOCUS

The Billy Goat AE1300H 30” Reciprocating Hydro Aerator combines true 30 " wide aeration and speed up to 4.3 mph to complete 1 / 4 acre in as little as 15 minutes. That ' s 59 % faster than a 26 " drum. Plus no more lifting on turns; aerate in reverse; do trim and edges with ease; and significantly improve hole quantity and quality. The AE1300H

features patent-pending variable aeration density( VAD) and creates two to 10 times more holes than drum models in one pass( 8-48 holes per sq. ft.) This eliminates double or triple aerating and saves significant time. VAD also offers ability to do patch repair and seed bed prep in one pass by simply slowing down over bare spots.

The Bobcat AE36 tow-behind aerator helps sports field managers maintain healthy, resilient turf by reducing soil compaction and promoting stronger root growth. Designed for recreational fields, sports complexes and other turf areas from one to five acres, the aerator delivers a 36-inch working width and can cover up to 1.5 acres per hour. Compatible with most tractors and zero-turn mowers, the AE36 offers manual, hydraulic and electric lift options to fit a variety of operation needs. Aeration depth can reach up to 5 inches, while interchangeable coring, spooning and slicing tines allow operators to match turf conditions and maintenance goals. The aerator comes standard with 48 austemper-hardened steel tines and can be configured with up to 96 tines to increase aeration density and coverage.

Modify the rootzone without stripping the top off or tilling the soil? DryJect’ s patented high-pressure water-based injection system creates aeration holes through the root zone to fracture the soil, while its pioneering technology simultaneously fills holes with sand, peat or other soil amendments. A DryJect service relieves compaction for improved soil health and reduced field hardness that promotes higher-quality field conditions and player safety. Little downtime or surface disruption lets you resume play almost immediately. Use in tandem with or in place of traditional core aeration. And because DryJect is a service, there’ s no big capital investment. Easy on your budget. Easy on your field or pitch.

Sports field managers around the world use Redexim Verti-Drain machines to relieve compaction and maintain healthy, playable athletic fields. Unlike aerators that simply punch holes, the Verti-Drain also uses a heaving action below the surface. The tines enter the soil and move backward, lifting and loosening the compacted rootzone. This creates fractures in the soil and improves the movement of air and water. The range covers a variety of applications, from larger tractor-mounted models such as the Verti-Drain 2519 to the compact Verti-Drain 1513. For smaller or restricted areas, Redexim also offers the walk-behind Easy-Core.

The LESCO PRO-Aer 30 aerator with seed box from SiteOne offers a fast, effective way to simultaneously aerate turf and distribute seed. Maintenance needs are kept to a minimum thanks to the chainless drive system. The stand-on platform provides excellent visibility and quick access to controls, and helps to reduce fatigue even during extended use. Its 30-inch width allows it to navigate narrow areas and fit through most common gate openings with ease. Powered by a compact-yet-robust Vanguard Twin engine known for dependability, this ride-on aerator features a roomy seed hopper capable of holding up to 50 pounds. Designed for productivity and durability, the PRO-Aer 30 includes a one-year commercial warranty.

Turf professionals are under more pressure than ever to make the most of limited maintenance windows without compromising surface quality and playability. The new GKB DTA HS( Deep Tine Aerator High Speed) from STEC was built with that reality in mind. This model delivers significantly faster operating speed while still maintaining the depth and precision expected from deep tine aeration. The DTA HS is designed with an optimized drive system, with working widths of 1.2m- 2m range, allowing crews to cover more ground in less time while minimizing disruption. Ideal for anyone looking for a full 400mm working depth Heavy duty sealed bearing Maintenance free Tines are easy to change Front and rear rollers 3-drive gear box Slip clutch PTO

The Toro ProCore 648s provides enhanced operator controls, consistency, productivity and after-aeration performance. Controls are designed for single-handed operation while easily walking in the direction of travel, reducing fatigue and keeping focus on the turf ahead. A floating handle accommodates any operator height for improved comfort and locks vertically to save valuable shop floor space. The electronic drive control ensures consistent hole spacing, while a tight turning radius and quick turnaround speeds reduce transition times between passes. Operating the ProCore 648s in Delayed Mode protects turf quality at the start of aeration passes by monitoring the position of the coring head’ s rotational path and drop speed, maximizing tine depth at the first contact with the ground.

The Turfco TurnAer XT5 combines a hydrostatic drive with maximum maneuverability, making it one of the smoothest walk-behind commercial aerators available. Turfco ' s TurnAer technology allows you to turn with the tines in the ground, eliminating the need to stop and lift, allowing you to aerate through the turn. Performance like that saves time and reduces fatigue. Simple and intuitive operation controls get you up and running fast. Patent-pending tine wheels enhance steering and increase hill-holding ability. Taking technology even further, the XT5 also features a hydrostatic drive system, so you can turn and steer in reverse.
