Industry-exclusive verticutter attachment gives the Aercore 800
More versatility than any other walk-behind aerator in the industry
The verticutter attachment may be fitted to any
AercoreTM 800 machine that is equipped with the 25 hp
Kohler Command Series engine.
The verticutter utilizes carbide-tipped blades and may be
operated to a maximum depth of 1-3/4-in. (44.5 mm) in any
of the Aercore 800’s four operating gears. Soil conditions will
determine whether or not maximum depth can be achieved.
A 31.5-in. (80 cm) width matches the aeration width of the
Aercore 800. The standard blade spacing from the factory is
1-in. (25.4 mm), but can be increased or decreased using
spacers in increments of 1/4-in. (6.4 mm).
Featuring a precise, no-tool depth adjustment, the verticutter attachment allows superintendents to operate
at virtually any depth up to 1-3/4-in. (44.5 mm). A convenient handle and transport bracket allows the
operator to lift the verticutter to a higher position for transporting.
The verticutter utilizes a belt drive system that engages when the coring head is lowered, and disengages
when the coring head is raised. By utilizing the same electrohydraulic lift/lower system currently on the
Aercore 800, an operator may raise the verticutter without the engine running.
Standard tire scrapers for the verticutter eliminate any debris buildup to maintain consistent verticutting
depth.
Once installed, the versatility of the verticutter attachment allows for the operator to aerate only, verticut
only, or simultaneously aerate and verticut. To aerate only requires simply disengaging the verticutter belt
drive, located underneath the belt drive cover. Superintendents choosing to verticut only may do so by
simply disengaging the two coring head belts and securing them with the provided belt latches.
For golf courses that aerate and verticut as part of the same practice, the Aercore 800 equipped with the
verticutter attachment allows for both aerating and verticutting operations to be performed at exactly the
same time. The simultaneous operation yields time and labor savings compared to traditional methods.
