Classen Introduces New Reciprocating Aerator
Classen, an industry-leading brand of commercial and residential turf care equipment, introduces a new reciprocating model of aerator to their already impressive and innovative line of turf aeration equipment. The new RA-21 Reciprocating Aerator by Classen is designed to the core attributes of the brand – Easy to Use and Designed to Last – that have made Classen brand equipment the choice of rental dealerships, landscapers and do-it-yourselfers for over 30 years.
Classen addresses many of the pain points associated with reciprocating aerators including limited aeration swath, difficulty of use and maintenance, and the high price tag often associated with reciprocating tine machines. The new Classen reciprocating aerator offers a wide 21-inch aeration swath for exceptional coverage in a single pass made possible through an 8 tine bank that penetrates even the toughest soil conditions at a depth up to 2.75-inches. The core tines reciprocate at 450 revolutions per minute and cover up to 26,000 sq. ft. per hour – a fraction of the time it would take with a drum style unit. Classen achieves these results without a complicated and costly hydraulic system or added weight.
As with all Classen turf care products, simplicity is built in. An open design allows for
clear unobstructed access to the engine. The rust resistant tine shield is lightweight and easy to remove for access to the tines and drive belt. And, because the new Classen Reciprocating Aerator doesn’t utilize hydraulics to independently drive the tines, the operator controls are simple.
Core Classen Reciprocating Aerator Features:
| Reciprocating Tines | Eight tines provide a wide 21-inch aeration swath and a tine speed of 450 revolutions per minute, aerates up to 26,000 ft. per hour with more cores per square foot than typical drum style units. Punches clean, deep holes up to 2.75” deep through the toughest soil conditions. No additional weight needed. |
| Optimum Frame Design | Easy operation – drives and turns like a 21″ walk behind mower. Drum-free design requires less physical force to operate, maneuver and turn. Drive belt can easily be replaced without having to completely remove the crank shaft. |
