Heying Company NEW ZERO-TURN STAND-ON AERATOR FROM TURFCO Turfco has introduced the patent-pending TurnAer XT8 stand on aerator, developed to provide a solution to turf care professionals who want to increase aeration productivity while minimizing downtime. The XT8 is designed to be nimble and fast. It can cover over 2 acres in an hour, with zero-turn agility and intuitive controls. The XT8 also offers aeration speed up to 7 mph; a 30" aerating width that can still fit through a 48" gate; and raised ground clearance to get over most curbs. The Auto-Depth Control means operators can set tine depth from 0 to 5 inches and the machine ensures that depth is kept consistent regardless of turf conditions. Its unique design minimizes downtime by keeping chains outside of the aeration area, which prevents debris from getting in wheels and chains, as well as by using sealed, self-aligning bearings near the aeration area instead of debris collecting grease zerks.

But in an emergency situation that's not always possible. The Stop & Go - Tire Plugger can do what no other tire repair kit can. It allows for an 'on the spot' and 'on the wheel' repair to virtually any tubeless tire. And it seals the puncture on the inside. The Plugger is a spring- loaded gun that 'drives' the plug into the hole. The shaft of the plug expands under pressure to fill the puncture. The mushroom head of the plug seats on the inner wall allowing no air to escape. This insures maximum reliability from its' revolutionary design. And it's easily stored - so you're always prepared.
