Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new 

product owners. This Core Aerator has been designed 

with care and built by skilled workers using quality 

materials. Proper assembly, maintenance, and safe 

operating practices will help you get years of satisfactory 

use from this implement. 

Application

The Land Pride CA05 Series Pull Type Core Aerators 

come in 40", 48" and 56" working widths. They are 

designed to relieve soil compaction and allow air 

circulation in grassy surfaces for home owner use and 

other light applications. They utilize replaceable 

hardened spring steel spoons mounted on rotating discs. 

These spoons pull cores up to 3" in length from the soil 

profile every 8 1/2" of forward travel. The spoons are 

spaced laterally apart every 4". Pulled cores are 

deposited on the surface for subsequent drying, 

pulverization, or removal. Weight can be added to the 

weight tray to help achieve maximum spoon penetration. 
When your turf begins to suffer the effects of compaction 

and wear, such as shallow root zones, thatch build-up, 

worn pathways, rock hard ground, poor surface 

percolation, or water stands, a Land Pride CA05 Series 

Core Aerator will help provide seasonal relief. 
See 

“Specifications & Capacities” 

on page 20 and 

“Features & Benefits”

 onpage 21 for additional 

information and performance enhancing options.
