Depending on the soil conditions, certain angles of entry may be preferable over others.
Unlike many prior art devices, there is no additional weight added directly to the tines 47 to propel them into the ground during operation of the invention 10. 2% negative feedback. Similarly, if the ground being serviced has areas that are elevated or depressed, the invention 10 is able to increase or decrease the amount of force transferred to the caster assemblies 40, thus allowing continued aeration. In another illustrative embodiment, FIG. It should be noted, however, that those of skill in the art could make many embodiments of the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. 00 FOR 48" Shipping Options Free To Lower 48 States 99. TRAC VAC FM358 Aerator Front Mount Electric Core Plug 32" 48" Made In The USA $2,195.00. In an alternative embodiment a cultivator fork (not illustrated) is employed in the invention. Entry at certain angles encourages continual and forward rotation of the tine rotor assemblies 46, by decreasing the amount of force necessary to effect rotation of the tine rotor assemblies 46 These spoon-type tines would not enter the ground at a useful angle that would allow continued rotation of the tine rotor assemblies 46. Aeration is of vital importance to any lawn care maintenance program. In another embodiment of the invention, a lawn aerator is provided comprising a cross frame assembly 30 capable of being pivotally attached to the zero turn lawn equipment 12, but without providing the mounting means 20 for such purpose.
The angle of the pivot may be adjusted by adjustment of the actuating mechanism 50 to either shorten or extend the actuating mechanism 50. Means for attachment include, but are not limited to bolts, washers, screws, and pins. 16" wide frame holds standard blocks if extra weight needed. 430 South Mayflower Road. The key to this invention is that it provides a steerable tine assembly. Aerator and Dethatcher Parts List. The length of first frame members 32 is sufficient to position second frame member 34 at a point sufficiently in advance of the front wheels of zero turn lawn equipment 12 to allow the caster assemblies 40 to freely rotate and to operate as hereinafter described. This orientation maximizes the transfer of force in the desired direction from the lawn equipment 12 to the caster assemblies 40.
Every landscaper knows that they have to purchase a commercial mower as part of their business operation. 2, the invention comprises two caster assembly units 40. Typically, these tines do not effectively rotate bi-directionally, and once weighted, the rotor assembly incorporating the tines is essentially embedded in the ground. FIELD OF THE INVENTION. It is possible for tine rotor assemblies 46 mounted on different caster assemblies 40, to rotate in opposite or otherwise different directions, which facilitates turning of the equipment. In one embodiment of the invention, once the actuating mechanism 50 is adjusted for a specific terrain condition, it is fixed in place. Trac vac front mount aerator adapter. Find Your Custom Hitch. Such spoon type tines merely scrape the surface of the ground. With the ZRator by D'ttach aerator attachment, you can use the power and the speed of your commercial mower to aerate at the speed of 6-7 mph! Some prior art devices employ a wheel that is mounted onto the front end of the aerator attachment. 12V electromechanical linear actuator. The actuating mechanism is mounted such that when the tine rotor assemblies are engaged and enter the ground that is to be aerated, the front end of the zero turn riding lawn lawn equipment is at least partially lifted off of the ground such that its front wheels are no longer engaged with the ground.
View Cart & Checkout. We'll be in touch as soon as possible! The actuating mechanism 50 allows the cross frame assembly 30 of the invention to pivot up or down with respect to the ground by either extending or retracting the arm 52. Each tine rotor assembly 46, mounted on the shaft 45, is fully rotatable. In the embodiment depicted in FIG. Core-type tines are preferable to fully allow aeration to take place, for soil penetration, and for removal of soil plugs, all of which assist in promoting proper seed germination. The aerator easily front mounts to most full size zero turn mowers with a tractor specific hitch mechanism. 3 is a side elevation view of the aerator of FIG. However, the actuating mechanism's pivotal arrangement allows further penetration of at least some portion of the tine rotor assemblies 46 when the lawn equipment 12 is driven in either direction. Front Mount Dethatcher. If the lawn equipment needs to move in a direction opposite to that in which it originally aerated the soil, the tines must be manually removed from the ground and lifted while the lawn equipment is repositioned. However, it should be noted that the pivotal connection of the aerator 10, allows the forces, i. weight and/or pressure transferred to be adjustable based on the conditions of the terrain.
The shaft 45 is attached to the u-shaped bar 44 by any means of attachment known to those of skill in the art. The tine rotor assemblies 46 are designed to penetrate the ground to an appropriate depth, while being adjustable to prevent over-deep insertion. 5/8" tines made of heat treated steel. The same is true where the lawn equipment needs to make a turn. The invention further comprises an actuating mechanism 50 that in an embodiment depicted in FIG.
