Wiedenmann introduces Terra Core aerifiers
Wiedenmann North America introduced Terra Core, a line of highly efficient shallow aerifiers. Available in two sizes, the machines are made in the USA.
The Terra Core 6 is intended for smaller landscape spaces including lawns, greens, tees and sports fields. Its compact design( 58-inches wide) easily follows greens undulations. It features six aerification arms and heads, and may be deployed using a small tractor.
The Terra Core 8 is intended for large grass event lawns, fairways, tees and sports fields. Its wider working width( 78 inches) covers larger areas in a relatively shorter period of time. It features eight aerification arms and heads.
Benefits and features: Shallow aerifier, with depths down to 4-inches Adjustable in 1 / 64-inch increments to fit ground conditions Clean, round holes fill easier than oblong holes created by some machines Fast and competitively priced Works with multiple sizes of coring tines and solid tines
Will Wolverton, president of Wiedenmann North America, LLC, said the straight hole pattern makes it easier to fill holes with sand.“ This is an improvement over oblong holes that can collapse,” he said.“ Terra Core’ s straight hole pattern prevents the sand from falling into the holes. Terra Core holes are deployed in a straight pattern and are round in shape, which allows the sand to drop into the hole for a more effective, cleaner aerification.”
Terra Core 6 and 8 can be used with a turf retainer.“ Some turfgrasses may not be rooted very well or deeply, which may cause the turf to be uprooted if the machines are not used with a turf retainer,” said Wolverton.
Steel Green adds Razor Tracking on its turf and lawn equipment
Steel Green Manufacturing added Razor Tracking GPS Fleet Coordination to all its new 2025 equipment direct from the factory.
With the Razor Tracking software platform, Steel Green’ s customers can now see where their equipment is performing on the job site, have access to when spray applications were completed, keep organized maintenance records, and more.
Every new machine comes with a free year of Razor Tracking service, so customers can experience the benefits firsthand and can continue to renew each year they own the machine, if they wish. Customers with older equipment will also have the option to purchase Razor Tracking for their machine.
Steel Green Manufacturing designs and produces a lineup of high-capacity zero-turn spreader / sprayers.
Razor Tracking streamlines fleet management through dispatching, driver location insights, details on equipment performance, and video telematics for all industries. The company’ s real-time vehicle tracking ensures crew members are on the correct job site and operating the equipment, to increase transparency. Managers can also gain peace of mind with an increased focus on safety through alerts for theft protection and weather map overlays.
“ By integrating Razor Tracking into our 2025 spreader / sprayer lineup, we’ re giving turf professionals real-time visibility of their fleet, allowing them to optimize routes, monitor equipment performance, and improve overall productivity,” said Matt Smith, vice president of sales at Steel Green Manufacturing.
