Low Mechanical Complexity
The GreensSlicer Turf Aerator TS-48 is simply one of the smartest solutions to turf maintenance. As a straight, tow-behind unit, the GreensGroomer GreensSlicer Turf Aerator TS-48 avoids all of the mechanical problems associated with hydraulics and engine operations. By keeping with the GreensGroomer Worldwide mission of lower total cost of ownership, the GreensGroomer GreensSlicer Turf Aerator TS-48 delivers on all counts: 48” wide.
Operating Width
The dual, 48-inch wide tine shafts have 25 tines spaced 2-inches apart. The shafts are split, with individually rotating assemblies to reduce turf damage during tight turns.
Water Tank Ballast
Instead of more complex gears or levers, the depth is controlled by two tanks, which can be filled with water through the two large tank openings. Increasing the water level increases the weight and deepens the tine penetration into the turf. Water is easily removed with convenient drain plugs.
No Power Source Required
The GreensSlicer Turf Aerator TS-48 doesn’t require engine operations or hydraulics. The ground-driven design eliminates the need for a power unit and keeps complexity low. The result is high reliability with virtually zero maintenance costs.
Easy Transport
The GreensGroomer GreensSlicer Turf Aerator TS-48 is a straight tow-behind unit and can be pulled by any basic utility vehicle. The unit is lowered into operation mode with an electrically actuated wheel assembly, and is easily raised for transport mode. The actuator can also be equipped with a remote control module for simplified operation.
Easy Clean-Up
The GreensSlicer Turf Aerator TS-48 is manufactured with a durable, powder-coat finish that makes clean-up a snap, and prevents corrosion over the long haul. The protective tine cage is a safety feature, yet allows open access for cleanup after use.
Integrated Rear Roller
Training the tine assembly is an integrated roller that flattens out the surface after slicing and aerating, it also provides for a smooth, playable surface.
Aerating either by coring or spiking causes the roots to divide or sever apart, which rarely happens naturally. Severing the roots causes them to multiply and thus the blades of grass multiply, keeping the lawn thick and deeply rooted as the holes become engorged with roots. Lawn thatch is a layer of dead organic tissue that can protect the lawn by moderating temperature and reducing evapotranspiration when it is a reasonable thickness, but too much thatch can limit soil oxygenation and reduce watering effectiveness. Soil compaction makes it difficult for grass to develop long roots and disturbs both natural rainwater and artificial irrigation. Source
