Wiedenmann North America introduced Terra Core, a line of highly efficient shallow aerifiers. Available in two sizes, the machines are made in the USA, reasonably priced and ready to ship around the country.
The Terra Core 6 is intended for smaller landscape spaces including lawns, greens, tees and sports fields. Its compact design (58-inches wide) easily follows greens undulations. It features six aerification arms and heads and may be deployed using a small tractor.
The Terra Core 8 is intended for large grass event lawns, fairways, tees, and sports fields. Its wider working width (78-inches) covers larger areas in a relatively shorter period of time. It features eight aerification arms and heads.

For 60 years, Wiedenmann has earned a reputation for manufacturing turf maintenance equipment that offers golf course superintendents and athletic turf managers the peace of mind that comes with the consistency and reliability of the Wiedenmann name. Known as an innovator in turfgrass aerification technology, Wiedenmann’s introduction of the Terra Core line of shallow aerifiers expands the tools available to grow healthier, stronger playing surfaces for golfers and athletes in nearly any sport.
Will Wolverton, president of Wiedenmann North America, LLC, said the straight hole pattern makes it easier to fill holes with sand. “This is an improvement over oblong holes that can collapse. Terra Core’s straight hole pattern prevents the sand from falling into the holes. Terra Core holes are deployed in a straight pattern and are round in shape, which allows the sand to drop into the hole for a more effective, cleaner aerification.”
Terra Core 6 and 8 can be used with a turf retainer. “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,” said Wolverton.
