Toro ProCore® 648s Turf Aerator

Model: 09960
Toro
The ProCore 648s builds on the tremendous legacy of the ProCore 648 by incorporating proven technology and even more innovative features while preserving the time tested design elements that changed the way you aerate. Revised controls improve ergonomics and allow single handed operation. Hole spacing and true tine depth are now set and saved in the InfoCenter. The onboard controller is continuously monitoring key operating parameters to improve after aeration turf condition and allow the operator to easily target coring head drop and raise. A tighter turning radius with reduced wheel scrubbing and the ability to easily increase speed during turns increases productivity. Proven reliability, improved performance and exciting innovation – that’s what makes the ProCore 648s the new superior choice.
  • All ProCore 648 accessories will work on ProCore 648s.
  • TrueCore™ sensing system automatically maintains tine depth on the fly to match the ground undulations providing consistent coring depth of up to 4″ (10.2 cm).
  • Allows operators to easily target where they want the coring head to drop or raise, making starting and ending passes or jumping up and over an in-ground obstacle, like an irrigation head, much easier.
  • Smart technology enhancement utilizes an electronically controlled hydrostatic 3-wheel drive which maintains more consistent hole spacing on sloping terrain.

Features

Smooth, Quiet, Powerful

To give the ProCore 648s its uncommonly smooth operation, the action of the tine arms are modeled after a six-cylinder car engine. The arms work in pairs to counterbalance the coring action. This precise configuration virtually eliminates hopping, rocking and unnecessary vibration.

Electronically Controlled Drive

This smart technology enhancement utilizes an electronically controlled hydrostatic 3-wheel drive which maintains more consistent hole spacing on sloping terrain. It also essentially eliminates front wheel scrub in turns while providing a tighter turning radius. Operators can easily increase speed during turns, improving efficiency.

Delayed Mode

When operating in Delayed Mode, the onboard controller continuously monitors key operational parameters, reducing grass tufting when coring head drops to start a pass. It also allows operators to easily target where they want the coring head to drop or raise, making starting and ending passes or jumping up and over an in-ground obstacle, like an irrigation head, much easier.

Onboard Storage

Bring a hot beverage, field notes, a sweatshirt, or carry some extra tines, the onboard storage has plenty of room.

Compatibility

All ProCore 648 accessories will work on ProCore 648s.

Deep, High Quality Holes

RotaLink™ geometry allows the tines to enter and exit the ground cleanly leaving a high quality result and a quick return to play.

InfoCenter Smart Settings

Set and Save precise hole depth and spacing to ensure consistent, condition-driven aerification that yields outstanding results. This controller allows much wider range of adjustment in 0.25” (5 mm) increments, ensuring just the right amount of aeration to match the needs of the turf.

Ergonomics

Completely redesigned operator handle with intuitive controls that allows simple one hand operation from either side of the machine, allowing operators to walk and keep focus forward with less fatigue. The floating handle also allows any height person to operate the machine comfortably.

TrueCore™ Ground Following

TrueCore™ sensing system automatically maintains tine depth on the fly to match the ground undulations providing consistent coring depth of up to 4" (10.2 cm).

LED Light Kit

To get an early start or extend the work day, illuminate the path with the accessory five LED light kit.
