Using Aerator Statistics for
Estimating Topdressing
The machine uses 2 counters to log the area
aerated and the displaced soil-core volume. Use
the information from these counters to estimate the
amount of top dressing to apply to the aerated turf
area(s).
•
The Area 1 counter is not PIN code protected, and
is intended to be reset by the machine operator.
Note:
If the operator records the Area 1 counter
for each aeration site, you can estimate the
amount of topsoil and delivery requirements for
each site.
•
The Area 2 counter is PIN code protected, and
is intended to be reset by the supervisor or their
delegate.

•
The area aerated displays in m 2 (SI) or ft 2 (English)
units of measure.
•
The displaced-coring volume displays as m 3 (SI)
or yd 3 (English) units of measure.
•
When viewing the displaced-coring volume
counters, the machine calculates the volume using
the tine diameter and the tine quantity that you
entered in the InfoCenter.
