Aeration Corer Collector – Golf Course Aeration

When you need to aerate a specific area without the fuss of large machinery, the 5 Tine Corer Collector is the right tool for the job. It’s designed for targeted aeration on golf greens, tees, sports pitches, and lawns where soil has become compacted. Compacted ground prevents essential water, air, and nutrients from reaching the rootzone, which can lead to poor turf health, moss, and surface water. This tool provides a simple, manual solution.

Push the five hollow tines into the turf to extract 100mm deep soil cores, which are then automatically gathered in the collector box. This means no time wasted brushing or raking up the mess afterwards – just a clean, efficient job. It’s ideal for treating high-wear areas, walkways, or any spot that needs a bit of extra attention.

Built in the UK from high-quality steel, this is a sturdy, no-nonsense tool designed to last. The frame is tough enough for professional daily use, and the tines are interchangeable for easy maintenance. It’s a practical addition to any greenkeeper’s or groundsman’s shed.

How It Works

Using the Corer Collector is straightforward. Simply place the tool on the compacted turf area and apply firm, even pressure downwards with your foot on the crossbar. The five hollow tines will penetrate the soil and extract plugs. As you lift and move to the next spot, the extracted cores are ejected into the attached collection box. Continue this process across the entire target area. When the box is full, simply unclip it to empty the cores into a barrow or compost pile. No sweeping required.

FAQ

Why should I use a hollow tine aerator?

Hollow tining physically removes cores of soil, which is the most effective way to relieve deep compaction, remove thatch, and improve air and water flow to the rootzone. It creates channels for new root growth and top dressing to penetrate.

When is the best time to use it?

Typically during the growing seasons in spring and autumn, when the turf can recover quickly. It’s best to aerate when the soil is moist but not waterlogged, as this allows for easier tine penetration and clean core removal.

Are the tines replaceable?

Yes, the five hollow tines are fully interchangeable and can be replaced if they become worn or damaged. Spares are available directly from us.
