Turfco 85544 Walk Behind Aerator
So smooth, you'll forget it's an aerator. Now featuring a HONDA™ motor!
The rugged, user-friendly XT5 is the aerator of choice for landscapers looking to increase profits and productivity. Turfco's revolutionary TurnAer™ Technology allows you to turn with the tines in the ground eliminating the need to stop and lift, allowing you to aerate through the turn. Performance like that saves time and reduces fatigue.
Simple and intuitive operation controls get you up and running fast. Patent-pending tine wheels enhance steering and increase hill-holding ability. Taking technology even further, the XT5 also features a hydrostatic drive system, so you can turn and steer in reverse.
