Trac-Vac Front-Mount Core Plug Aerator

Efficient Soil Relief for Full-Size Zero-Turn Mowers

The Trac-Vac Front-Mount Core Plug Aerator is an essential tool for maintaining professional-quality lawns by relieving soil compaction and promoting healthy root growth. Designed to mount directly to the front of most full-size zero-turn mowers, this aerator uses the tractor’s weight to penetrate the soil, removing small cores (plugs) to allow oxygen, water, and nutrients to reach the roots more effectively. With its electronic controls and agile front-mount design, it allows you to aerate while you mow or navigate tight landscapes with ease.

Key Features

• Front-Mount Agility: Attaches to the front of zero-turn mowers using a tractor-specific hitch. This positioning provides superior visibility and allows the aerator to follow the mower's path perfectly around obstacles.

• 12V Electromechanical Linear Actuator: Effortlessly raise and lower the aerator with an easy-to-reach switch mounted directly on your mower’s control arms—no need to take your hands off the controls.

• Effective Soil Penetration: Removes plugs up to 2.5 inches deep using 5/8" heat-treated steel tines, ensuring long-term durability and effective compaction relief.

• Independent Tine Clusters: Features independent rotation for tine clusters, allowing for smoother turns without scuffing or tearing the turf.

• Rugged Steel Construction: Built with a fully welded 3/16" angle iron frame. A Heavy Duty 1/4" steel upgrade is also available for intensive commercial applications.

• Standard Weight Tray: Includes a 16" wide frame designed to hold standard concrete blocks if additional downward pressure is needed for hard, compacted soils.

• Quick-Detach System: The unit can be removed in seconds by pulling just two pins and disconnecting the actuator plug, making it easy to switch back to standard mowing.

• Maintenance Friendly: Equipped with bronze bushings and integrated grease fittings to ensure smooth operation and a long service life.
