Thatch Master TurfTime Equipment promotes healthy turf, year round, with its Ad- vantage Aerator and the Thatch Mas- ter dethatcher/verticutter. The new Thatch Master seven point blade pro- vides a crisp, quick healing cut, with blade spacing adjustable by ¼" incre- ments. Frequent aeration with the Ad- vantage Aerator eases compaction between seasonal deep tine or coring treatments. "Revolution" tines give more than 7" ground penetration with less surface tufting than other tines. Water weighted tanks, standard on all models adjust for soil conditions. Our range of large and small models fit your aeration needs where ever you want to grow healthy turf. Turf Time Equipment TURFSAW aerator Earth & Turf Products’ TURF- SAW is a rolling aerator that attaches buckets of tractor loaders by sliding onto a bucket and tightening mount- ing bolts. The weight and down pres- sure of the loader are used to furnish most of the working weight. About 200 pounds comes from the aerator and an additional several hundred pounds or more comes from the bucket. Solid blades are adjustable from 2.5 inches to 3.75". An additional benefit appealing to turf professionals: Spiker aerators pro- duce lateral compaction, corer aerators produce bottom-of-stroke compaction, but the TURFSAW has a shattering action that produces little or no com- paction. Earth & Turf Parker dethatcher Parker offers durable Thatch-O-Matic Power Rakes to dig out heavy thatch. With a 19-inch sweeping width and a 6hp 170cc Subaru® engine, the power rake can be used for dethatching and re-seeding. Housed in 12- gauge steel, the Power Rakes come with optional tine, flail or knife reels ideal for commercial and rental applica- tions. An 11-position height of cut moves in one-fourth inch increments from 1-4" with a locking collar. The rakes have a manually-operated clutch lever and an adjustable height handle with a vibration absorbing comfort grip.
