Introduction

Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new product owners.

This Core Aerator has been designed with care and built by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly, maintenance, and safe operating practices will help you get years of satisfactory use from the Aerator.

Application

The Land Pride 25 Series Core Aerators are designed for Category 1 - three-point hitch or Quick-Hitch System mounting. The 25 Series Core Aerators are adapted for attachment to tractors capable of properly lifting, lowering, and transporting up to 1200 lbs. on the three- point hitch. These Aerators come in 60" and 72" working widths.

The 25 Series Core Aerators are designed to relieve soil compaction and allow air circulation in grassy surfaces such as lawns, soccer fields, football fields, baseball fields, municipal parks, and golf course fairways. The 25 series Aerators utilize replaceable case hardened closed spoons mounted on weighted rotating discs. These spoons pull cores up to 3" in length from the soil profile every 7" of forward travel. The lateral gang spacing on the CA256 is 5 1/2" and 6 1/2" on the CA2572. Pulled cores are deposited on the surface for subsequent drying, pulverization, or removal. In order to achieve maximum penetration the CA2560 & CA2572 offer optional poly water tanks that fit in the top mounted weight trays. When filled with water these tanks provide significantly increased down pressure on the spoons.

When your turf begins to suffer the effects of compaction and wear, such as shallow root zones, thatch build-up, worn pathways, rock hard ground, poor surface percolation, or water stands, a Land Pride 25 Series Core Aerator will help provide seasonal relief.

See “Specifications & Capacities” on page 16 and “Features & Benefits” on page 17 for additional information and performance enhancing options.
