such as lawns, soccer fields, football fields, baseball
fields, municipal parks, and golf course fairways.The 25
seriesAerators utilizereplaceablecasehardened 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
