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 CA15 Series Core Aerators come in 48", 
56", 64" and 72" working widths. They are designed to 
attach to the tractor’s 3-Point Category 0, 1 and 1 limited 
hitches and are compatible with Land Pride’s QH05 and 
QH15 Quick Hitches. They should be attached to tractors 
capable of lifting, lowering, and transporting weight up to 
750 lbs. on the three-point hitch.

The CA15 Series Core Aerators are designed to relieve 
soil compaction and allow air circulation in grassy 
surfaces such as lawns, soccer fields, football fields, 
baseball fields, municipal parks, and golf course 
fairways. 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 6 3/16" 
of forward travel. The gangs are spaced laterally apart 
between 4 1/4" and 4 5/8" with 5 1/2" to 6 1/4" spacing at 
the rotary support hangers. 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 CA15 Series 
Core Aerator will provide immediate seasonal relief.
