Liberal Verti-Drain 7117 Spike Coring Machine

Liberal Verti-Drain 7117 Tractor PTO Deep-Tine Turf Aerator

The Liberal Verti-Drain 7117 is a professional tractor-mounted deep-tine turf aerator designed for sports grounds, golf courses, cricket grounds, football fields, polo grounds, municipal parks, and large commercial turf areas. Powered through a tractor PTO system, the machine provides controlled deep aeration to help relieve soil compaction, improve air and water movement, and support healthier turf root development.

Regular traffic from players, maintenance machinery, irrigation equipment, and general ground use can gradually compact the soil beneath turf. Compacted soil reduces pore space and restricts the movement of air, water, and nutrients into the root zone. The Liberal Verti-Drain 7117 addresses these conditions by mechanically penetrating the soil profile with deep-tine aeration.

With a working width of approximately 68 inches (1.7 metres) and a maximum penetration depth of approximately 150 mm (6 inches), the Verti-Drain 7117 is designed for efficient professional turf maintenance across large areas.

Professional Deep-Tine Turf Aeration

The Liberal Verti-Drain 7117 uses deep-tine aeration to create openings within compacted soil. These openings can improve pathways for air and water movement and provide additional space for root development.

The machine is suitable for both routine turf maintenance and targeted compaction relief. Operators can select appropriate tine configurations and working settings according to soil conditions, turf requirements, and the desired aeration result.

How Deep Aeration Benefits Turf

• Relieves soil compaction: Deep tine penetration helps break through compacted soil layers.
• Improves air movement: Aeration channels can increase access to oxygen within the root zone.
• Supports water infiltration: Open soil channels can assist the movement of water through the turf profile.
• Encourages root development: Improved soil conditions can support deeper and healthier root systems.
• Supports turf recovery: Proper aeration forms part of an effective sports-turf maintenance programme.

Key Features of Liberal Verti-Drain 7117

68-Inch Working Width

The approximately 68-inch (1.7 m) working width allows professional grounds teams to cover substantial turf areas efficiently. This makes the machine suitable for golf courses, cricket grounds, football pitches, sports complexes, and large institutional landscapes.

Deep Aeration up to 150 mm

The Verti-Drain 7117 can penetrate the soil profile to approximately 150 mm (6 inches). Deep penetration allows operators to address compaction below the immediate surface layer and improve the physical condition of the root zone.

Adjustable Hole Spacing

The machine provides adjustable hole spacing from approximately 25 mm to 125 mm, allowing the operator to select an appropriate aeration pattern according to turf condition and maintenance requirements.

Solid and Hollow Tine Options

The Verti-Drain 7117 can be configured with different tine types for different aeration objectives.

• Solid Tines: Suitable for deep decompaction and creating aeration channels without removing soil cores.
• Hollow Tines: Suitable for coring applications where soil cores need to be extracted from the turf profile.

Tine selection should be based on soil type, moisture conditions, turf species, compaction level, and the desired maintenance programme.

Tractor PTO Operation

The Liberal Verti-Drain 7117 is powered through a tractor PTO system, providing a practical solution for facilities that already operate tractors as part of their grounds-maintenance fleet.

The machine is designed around a 3-point Category 1 hitch and requires a suitable tractor with a minimum recommended power of approximately 28 HP, subject to operating conditions and final machine configuration.

High Productivity

Under suitable operating conditions, the Verti-Drain 7117 can achieve a working capacity of up to approximately 3,900 m² per hour at the specified 65 mm spacing. Working speed can reach approximately 2.75 mph (4.4 km/h).

Actual productivity will vary according to soil conditions, tine configuration, spacing, working depth, tractor speed, field layout, and operator technique.

Low-Maintenance Design

The machine incorporates sealed bearing arrangements and a robust mechanical construction designed for professional turf-maintenance environments. Regular inspection and preventive maintenance remain essential for safe and reliable operation.

Designed for Sports Turf & Professional Grounds

The Liberal Verti-Drain 7117 is particularly suited to facilities where turf quality, drainage, root development, and playing-surface performance are important operational priorities.

Golf Courses

• Greens and green surrounds
• Tees
• Fairways
• Approach areas
• High-traffic turf sections

Cricket Grounds

• Outfields
• Practice areas
• Training grounds
• Pitch surrounds
• High-traffic maintenance zones

For cricket pitches and prepared squares, aeration should be scheduled according to the groundsman’s turf-management programme and the condition of the playing surface.

Football & Soccer Fields

Deep aeration can be used on natural-grass football and soccer fields to help manage soil compaction caused by repeated player traffic and maintenance activity.

Hockey & Rugby Grounds

The Verti-Drain 7117 can be incorporated into maintenance programmes for natural-turf hockey and rugby fields where repeated traffic contributes to soil compaction.

Polo Grounds

Large polo fields can benefit from scheduled deep aeration to help maintain soil structure and turf performance under repeated equestrian traffic.

Municipal Parks & Institutional Grounds

The machine is suitable for municipal parks, universities, schools, public recreational grounds, and institutional campuses requiring professional turf maintenance.
