TurfPride Deep Speed Aerator-5400

Professional-grade turf aerator with patented spring-loaded tine alignment. The Deep Speed Aerator (DSA) penetrates soil up to approximately 10 inches while minimizing disruption to the playing surface. Designed for golf course greens, tees, fairways, and athletic fields including football, soccer, baseball, and other managed turf areas.

A patented spring-loaded tine alignment mechanism positions each tine so it enters and exits the soil efficiently as the machine moves forward. This action produces deep aeration while leaving only small openings at the turf surface.

The system supports both solid-tine aeration and hollow coring operations. Tines are available in multiple diameters ranging from 5/16 inch to 1 inch, with additional sizes and custom configurations available upon request.
