    hey all, we have a 2001 toro greens aerator and Im looking for the windrow kit for it but toro said they discontinued it due to its age. I was wondering if anyone knew if its worth looking for and also if someone wanted to get rid of one!!!! I know this isnt a want ad area, but we just finished up our fall aeration and need something a little faster than back pack blowing the cores out of the way of the tires!!!!

    Save yourself some trouble and get a Core Collector from TurfPride. I promise it will change the way you aerify.

    I will almost second Andy's qoute. We still pretty much aerify the same way with a Core Collector, as we did before, except with less work, I mean a lot less work cleaning up. (I think Andy will topdress before any hole punching, but I'm to old and stubborn to change that part of it.)

    Yes, todpress before, core then brush/roll at the same time. Greens heal quicker and are much smoother than driving a core harvester, topdresser then drag cart after holes are made. I wouldn't do it any other way....

    I posted the question years ago about the core collector. I was skeptical... buy it. Buy it now, don't look back. I do 18 greens, 3.5 acres 1 Procore 648 with the Collector 7.5 hours 7 guys.

    Your guys will like you again when you mention greens aeration.
