Z-Aerate
Our Z Turf Equipment Z-Aerate family of stand-on aerators turns a hard, time-intensive process into quick work. Our commercial aerators have zero-turn capabilities, making it easy to maneuver around flowerbeds, trees, and other landscaping. An intuitive control panel is easy to operate while precisely controlling the aerator. The commercial-grade aerator engines allow landscape professionals to reach up to 10 mph to aerate 3 acres per hour. Designed with comfort in mind, the Z- Aerate's full floating platform adjusts to the operator's weight, reducing fatigue so you can get more done. The 150-lb hopper attachment turns this aerator into a 2-in-1 machine that aerates and overseeds simultaneously.
Make quick work of compacted soil through lawn aeration with the exceptional core aerating quality delivered by our durable, heavy-duty, self-cleaning tine. The aerator stand-on has hydraulic down-pressure to ensure you can pull up to a 3.5-inch aerator plug while core aerating with these high-efficiency tines. There are also options to customize your investment with several accessories, including a 30-gallon spray system, 36-inch slice seeder, 46-inch dethatch rake, and 40-inch spike aeration head.
Mid-size Z-Aerate 24 and Z-Aerate 30 models are versatile, easy to use stand-on aerators for operators looking to maximize productivity and profitability.
Compact design enables Z-Aerate 24 to fit through 36-inch yard gates. Leverage the increased productivity and reduced operator fatigue of a stand-on machine on a wider range of properties.
Adjustable Hydraulic Down Pressure system delivers up to 1,200-pounds of down-pressure, enabling the Z-Aerate machines to pull plugs up to five inches deep.
Intuitive controls Similar to a zero-turn mower, making Z-Aerate models easier and less tiring to operate
Dual-drive design uses both the wheels and tines for unmatched traction and maneuverability on any turf.
The new Z-Aerate 50-inch takes aeration productivity to the next level, with 50-inches of aeration width, zero-turn maneuverability, and the ability to aerate and spread simultaneously. Plus, with a wide range of available attachments, the Z-Aerate 50 has the versatility you need to maximize profitability
Powered by a commercial-grade Kohler Command Pro engine, and proven Hydro-Gear® pumps and wheel motors. We’ve engineered in durability you can count on to perform for many seasons to come.
With zero-turn maneuverability and a 50-inch split-tine, 12-row aeration head, you can easily aerate around flower beds and other landscape features without lifting the aeration head. Removable weights enable you to easily adjust for wet or dry soil conditions.
Perform two jobs at once with the integrated broadcast spreader. The 150-pound hopper provides plenty of capacity for big jobs, while the electric spreader motor ensures consistent application rates all day long.
All controls are centrally-mounted for ease of reach, including the console-mounted spreader controls, hand-operated throttle and choke, and thumb-operated hydraulic controls to raise and lower attachments.
