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.
