2026 Toro 64" ProCore 864 Turf Aerator

Overview

The ProCore® 864 takes the proven coring head technology from the very successful ProCore® 648s and combines it with an improved platform, the result is one of the most productive and durable large area aerator available today.

• The oversized gearbox enhances capacity and durability for challenging turf conditions
• Kevlar-reinforced belt drives ensure smooth, quiet operation and robust durability, enhancing operator comfort and the aeration experience
• The ProCore® drive features precision balancing weights and coring heads modeled after a 6-cylinder engine, eliminating hopping, rocking, and vibrations. This reduces operator fatigue and enhances productivity during aeration
• Depth control mechanism allows for quick and easy adjustments to hole depth, with a high gear ratio for effortless changes
• Precision balancing weights eliminate hopping, rocking, and vibrations, reducing operator fatigue and enhancing productivity during aeration. They also enable the aerator to run in the up position, simplifying operation and improving turnaround efficiency
• Easy access to service components and fewer grease points reduce maintenance time, increasing machine and operator productivity and enhancing technician efficiency
• The RotaLink™ tine guide mechanism keeps tines vertical during ground entry and exit, resulting in clean holes for better-looking turf and easier top dressing. The ProCore® tine placement is near the roller, maintaining consistent depth over undulations
• Efficient 64" (162 cm) aeration swath maximizes productivity across various forward hole spacing
• A linked mechanism guides the tines to ensure they remain vertical during ground entry and exit, creating consistent, clean holes for better turf appearance and improved top dressing fill

Features may include:

Oversized Gear Box

• The oversized gear box provides improved capacity and durability for the toughest turf conditions.

Belt Drive Aeration Head

• Kevlar reinforced belt drives provide smooth, quiet operation along with robust durability. This leads to increased operator comfort and a more enjoyable aeration experience.

Precision-Balanced Drive System

• The ProCore® drive has precision balancing weights and each coring head is modeled after a 6-cylinder engine with precision balancing. This configuration eliminates hopping, rocking, and uncomforting vibration. This leads to less operator fatigue and a more productive and efficient aeration experience.

Depth Control Mechanism

• The depth control mechanism provides a quick and easy method for changing hole depth. The depth setting has a high gear ratio making changing depth a quick and effortless task.

Operator Comfort & Ease of Use

• The precision balancing weights eliminates hopping, rocking, and uncomfortable vibration for less operator fatigue and a more productive and efficient aeration experience. It allows the aerator to run in the up position and simplifies operation and increases efficiency in turn around.

Reduced, Simplified Maintenance

• Easy access to service components and minimal grease points result in less maintenance and less time performing maintenance tasks. This leads to higher machine and operator productivity and allows technicians to be more efficient.

High Quality Holes at Consistent Depths

• The RotaLink™ tine guide mechanism ensures tines remain vertical as they enter and exit the ground. This produces consistently clean holes for better looking turf and easier top dressing fill if required. The ProCore® tine placement is close to the roller, keeping them at a consistent depth as the operator travels over undulations.

Increased Productivity

• The efficient 64" (162 cm) aeration swath deliver maximum productivity for a broad range of forward hole spaces.

RotaLink™ Tine Guide Mechanism

• A linked mechanism that guides the tine actuation path and ensures they remain vertical as they enter and exit the ground. This produces consistent, clean holes for better looking turf and improved top dressing fill.

Impact Resistance System

• The compression springs combined with the independent coring head provide positive down pressure to ensure proper hole depth in the downward direction and provide a dampening affect in the upward direction when a large object is impacted during aeration.
