High Quality Holes at Consistent Depths
High Quality Holes at Consistent Depths
The RotaLink™ tine guide mechanism ensures tines remain vertical as they enter and exit the ground. This produces consistently clean holes for better looking turf and easier top dressing fill if required. The ProCore® tine placement is close to the roller, keeping them at a consistent depth as the operator travels over undulations.
Increased Productivity
Increased Productivity
The efficient 98" (249 cm) aeration swath deliver maximum productivity for a broad range of forward hole spaces.
RotaLink™ Tine Guide Mechanism
RotaLink™ Tine Guide Mechanism
A linked mechanism that guides the tine actuation path and ensures they remain vertical as they enter and exit the ground. This produces consistent, clean holes for better looking turf and improved top dressing fill.
Impact Resistance System
Impact Resistance System
The compression springs combined with the independent coring head provide positive down pressure to ensure proper hole depth in the downward direction and provide a dampening affect in the upward direction when a large object is impacted during aeration.
