The GROUNDSMAN Flexblade Core Collector is a patented implement developed by Groundsman Industries. This is available for the GROUNDSMAN 8120CTM and 12180TM tractor mounting turf aerator machines for coring and collection in one pass. Flexblade Base Units are available from 0.6mtr to 2.3mtr wide with linkages available to fit many other popular Aerator brands. The Flexblade saves many hours of manual work and an extra operation with heavy equipment avoiding tracking on freshly cored surfaces. Collection with the Flexblade is clean and efficient with many of the cores entering the collector without touching the ground, the remainder are scooped cleanly from the surface by a series of platelets which follow the contours acting like shovels keeping the holes open for top dressing and the greens sooner back play.

The Elliptical Plunge Action aeration mechanism used in GROUNDSMAN pedestrian and Tractor mounting aerators move the tines backwards when in the ground as the aerator moves forward enabling cleaner tine exit from the ground with less drag or friction and there-for less chance of lifting the surface on shallow rooted turf. For best results operate the machine at the synchronised forward speed, this will produce 75 x 75mm (3” x 3”) hole spacing with Twin Tine Holders fitted. This forward speed should remain constant for all operations with denser hole patterns achieved by fitting Tine Holders with multiple tines such as Triple, Quad or Quint.
Turf Retainer Holders are universal and can be fitted with the full range of plastic turf retainers. The Turf Retainer Holders attach to independently spring loaded brackets, these coincide with the Tine Holders and follow the contours of the green. The plastic retainer sections can independently be replaced if damaged or broken. A range of retainers are available for use with Twin, Triple and Quint Tine Holders.
