With the meteorologists telling us the UK is set for a slightly milder, slightly wetter than average autumn, the stage is well and truly set for productive aerating.
And the Toro ProCore 648 and new 648s aerators with Titan tines, from Reesink Turfcare, combine to maximise aeration efficiency.
Aeration is a vital turfcare practice for healthy surfaces and doing it in autumn helps the turf recover from summer stress and establish strong roots in the months before the following growing and playing season returns.
The Toro ProCore 648 and 648s bring the combination of smart technology for consistent, high-quality results and the ability to cover significant amounts of ground in quick time. Add to that the advantages of Toro Titan tines and it’s a winning combination.
Jon Cole, Divisional Business Manager, Reesink Turfcare, explains: “With the ProCore aerators and Toro Titan tines it’s possible to aerate more surface in less time, all while getting the superior results you require. It’s a combination that delivers performance and efficiency to create overall outstanding value.”
Precise, crisply cut aeration holes are essential for maintaining outstanding turf and the RotaLink system on the ProCore 648/648s keeps tines vertical throughout the aeration process for clean, superior hole quality, while the TrueCore ground following system automatically maintains tine depth to match any undulations on the ground for consistent coring depth.
The tine arms are modelled after a six-cylinder engine meaning the arms work in pairs to counterbalance the coring action virtually eliminating hopping, rocking and unnecessary vibration for remarkably smooth operation.
Add to that numerous tine options to suit exact aeration requirements and the result is an almost bespoke technique to provide the right conditions for healthy, resilient turf.
There are tine options for aerating delicate turf such as greens and tees, while those designed for the fairways, for example, can withstand impact from obstructions in the soil and have a larger flared ejection window, ensuring proper core removal on that particular terrain.
There are thin, durable, solid-wall tines with top eject feature for efficient core removal, and those designed to remove a large volume of soil with a chamfered ejection window to easily handle all types of soil conditions.
Titan split tines which are among the newest in the Titan family have an innovative design to split cores into smaller pieces, which allows the remains to disintegrate and virtually disappear into the turf canopy – an excellent choice when core removal or processing is not available.
