built attachments designed to help you efficiently and effectively be more productive at tasks.
The JRCO Hooker Aerator, used for years as a front-mounted attachment for landscape
1.1 Application
aeration, is now available in a 38", three head tow-behind version.
The soft-plug style aeration is ideal for golf fairways, sports fields or anywhere true plug
aeration is needed, without the messy compacted core clean-up of a hollow tine aerator.
The JRCO Hooker Aerator is many times faster than traditional hollow tine aerators, and is
low maintenance with few moving parts and no engine.
The tines pierce deep into the soil, hooking and lifting loose plugs of dirt that disperse on
the surface, spreading nutrients over the surface. The turf can be played immediately after
aeration. Some operators choose to pull a drag over the surface one to three hours after
aeration to smooth the aerated surface. Use it in combination with over-seeding for
renovating distressed or diseased turf. Holes are approximately ½" wide by 1-1/4" long and
up to 3" deep. Soil volume removed is comparable with a 5/8" hollow tine core.
The Hooker tow-behind aerator comes complete with a two-point hitch, rigid frame and
swiveling caster wheels that allow the aerator to track directly behind the tow vehicle and
prevents jackknifing when backing up. The aerator caster heads swivel, allowing them to
turn while aerating. The six floating rotor heads lift independently over rocks and other
obstacles, while the other heads continue to aerate. An electric actuator lifts the heads into
the transport position.
