TERRA CORE FAQ

An interview with Will Wolverton, president of Wiedenmann North America, LLC

In what situation should shallow aerification versus deep tine aerification be used? 

Terra Core is recommended for most every aerification situation for courses or fields with satisfactory soils. Some troubled soils may require aerification at a deeper depth.

Why is the Terra Core system’s straight hole pattern beneficial?

A straight hole pattern makes it easier to fill holes with sand. This is an improvement over oblong holes that can collapse and prevent the sand from falling into the holes. Terra Core holes are deployed in a straight pattern and round in shape, which allows the sand to drop into the hole for a more effective, cleaner aerification.

How are the Terra Core aerifiers different from other aerifiers on the market? Or in the Wiedenmann portfolio? 

There are a couple of similar machines on the market, but ours is cost-effective while producing great results. The other aerification machines in our portfolio are designed to go deeper for those troubled soils that need more aerification depth. These deeper machines are usually a little slower (contradiction between speed and depth) and usually cost a little more.

Why are these differences important? 

Different machines for different aerification requirements. All soils are different.

Can the Terra Core 6 or 8 be used with a turf retainer? 

Yes. Some turfgrasses may not be rooted very well or deeply which may cause the turf to be uprooted if the machines are not used with a turf retainer. 

What tine sizes are available for the Terra Core?
