We are excited to have the Stinger QUAD-AER 3000 riding aerator on our floors now. These awesome ride-on aerators get up to 7mph (about 2 acres per hour) in forward speed, feature all direct drive hydraulic lines (no chains) and turn easily with the tines engaged. Built for comfort, ease of control, and efficiency.
The QUAD-AER 3000, along with its four hydrostatic drives, is powered by a Kawasaki FS651 engine that allows the machine to move powerfully at higher speeds while still pulling deep cores. The large, 6-gallon gas tank increases efficiency even further by saving time filling up or running out of gas on a property.
The time it takes to engage or disengage the tines is extremely fast, at less than half of a second. With the Stinger QA 3000, there is no need to slow down or stop every time you raise or lower the tines. Not waiting for the tines to go up and down to make zero turns is huge for ease of use and efficiency on the job.
Check out this real review of a Stinger ride-on aerator :
“I have ran Turfco XT8 aerators for 2 seasons (we had 3 of them total) before the use of our [Stinger], and you would not believe the difference in machines. To address the most obvious point to make is there are no chains. I can't say enough how overdue this has been and how big of a deal it is. No chains means I don't baby the machine or make adjustments with chains or wait for the next time something breaks. It's literally built like a skid steer. All direct drive hydraulic lines to and from the drive pumps to the drive motors.
As far as comfort goes, the platform you ride on is very comfortable and helps to absorb and cushion the rough ride that can be expected from something without suspension. Even the aerating head is isolated with hydraulic pressure from the machine so no more getting bucked when finding a rock. It's incredibly smooth. The pad you lean up against is just in the right spot, the controls are soft and easy on your hands. Night and day difference from what I have ran in the past.
Turning with the tines down is a huge selling point for myself. With past aerators going around tight corners and tree rings was a process of drawing out a square shape while engaging and disengaging the tines during turns to avoid tearing and shredding turf. With this aerator you can go around tight rings with the tines engaged without having to worry about tearing the turf.
I have used this machine on a huge variances in lawn sizes, from lawns as small as 3k sqft lawns all the way to 3 acre lawn. Even on small lawns it is quick and nimble and easy maneuver around most obstacles and still manages to do a decent job on the edges. The wideness and the low center of gravity allow this machine to operate very well on hills and steep inclines."
