Disclosed is a system and method that provides a sprig plugger that inserts sprigs into soil using a movable tine in conjunction with an aerator or purpose-built mechanical sprig plugger.

A method of stacking dethatchers includes pivoting an upper portion of a handle on a first dethatcher toward a front end of a frame on the first dethatcher, upon pivoting the upper portion of the handle toward the front end of the frame, exposing a rear support point defined by a lower portion of the handle, and stacking a second dethatcher on the first dethatcher so that the second dethatcher is supported on the rear support point defined by the lower portion of the handle and a front support point defined by the upper portion of the handle.

A stand-on aerator includes a chassis, an operator platform extending from a rear portion of the chassis, an aerator assembly coupled to the chassis and having a plurality of reciprocating tines configured to extend from and retract into the aerator assembly, and an object detection sensor. At least a portion of the plurality of reciprocating tines are configured to retract in response to the object detection sensor detecting an object in a path of the aerator assembly.

A turf cutting machine, more particularly a four-wheel drive turf cutting machine, is provided. The turf cutting machine has a transmission arrangement which includes a transmission belt arranged between a rear axle pulley and a front axle pulley and which further includes a plurality of deflection pulleys which are arranged between the rear axle pulley and the front axle pulley so as to define a path for the transmission belt that extends from a rear axle to a front axle and then back to the rear axle passing over a cutting blade.

A snow removal equipment is described. The snow removal equipment comprises a propulsion means allowing the snow removal equipment to move on a terrain, a gathering unit adapted for gathering or shoveling snow on the terrain, and a disposal unit to remove the gathered snow. The snow removal equipment has been adapted to allow the speed at which the snow on the terrain is gathered, and the speed at which the gathered snow is removed, to be controlled separately.

A cylindrical turf treatment rotor adapted to be driven in rotation about a horizontal axis, and provided with wear-resistant teeth extending along one or more helical tracks on the rotor, the teeth being individually attached to the rotor so as to be capable of individual removal for replacement or refurbishing or for reconfiguring the rotor.

A turf aerator includes a frame, a tine crank having a clearing end with threads, a plurality of tines coupled to the tine crank, and a coupling for fastening the tine crank clearing end to the frame. The coupling includes a collar area for receiving the tine crank clearing end, an anchor plate for selectively fastening to the frame, and an opening sized for accessing the threads of the tine crank clearing end. The turf aerator further includes an actuator threaded complementary to the threads of the tine crank clearing end for selectively moving the coupling from an extended position relative to the tine crank to a retracted position relative to the tine crank.

A turf aerator includes a tine assembly and an input mechanism. The tine assembly includes multiple tines, a retractor plate for positioning the plurality of tines, and a linkage for selectively moving the retractor plate and the plurality of tines between an operating position and a retracted position. The input mechanism coupled to the linkage, the input mechanism operable to activate the linkage to move the retractor plate and the plurality of tines between the operating position and the retracted position.

A vehicle includes a chassis, a pair of wheels rotatably mounted to the chassis, and a jack stand having an extended portion and a support portion. The extended portion has a longitudinal axis. The support portion is located at a longitudinal end of the extend portion. The jack stand is arranged on the chassis to be slidable with respect to the chassis in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis for movement between a deployed position, wherein the support portion is located vertically below a bottom surface of each wheel, and a stowed position, wherein the support portion of the jack stand is located vertically above the bottom surface of each wheel.
