The machine pictured is a Vetiquake aerifier that is designed to penetrate through the turf canopy to a depth of 12 to 14 inches. The slicing action of the machine cuts a deep grove and at the same time shatters the soil beneath the surface. The slicing and shattering action loosens the soil so water can penetrate below the playing surface to improve surface drainage. The loosened soil also makes it easier for the root systems of the fairway turf to deepen and improve.
