Why The JRCO 60" Tow-Behind Hooker Aerator Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a tow-behind aerator, it's built with 10 tine rotors across a 60-in. width, giving lawn care professionals and property managers nearly double the productivity of the 38" model for covering large properties efficiently.
The 755.JRC specifically addresses the needs of lawn care professionals and large property managers who need maximum aeration coverage per pass, whether towing behind a utility vehicle, compact tractor, or mower.
Nearly Double The Coverage Per Pass. At 105,000 square feet per hour, this 60-in. aerator covers significantly more ground than the 38-in. models, making it the right choice for large properties, sports fields, or commercial accounts where aeration speed and coverage directly affect job profitability.
Built For High-Production Aeration
Six floating rotor heads independently lift over tree roots and rocks while the other heads continue aerating
Punctures up to six holes per square foot, with holes approximately 1/2 in. wide x 1-1/4 in. long and up to 3 in. deep
A rigid frame with swiveling caster wheels allows the aerator to track directly behind the tow vehicle
Engineered For Versatile, Practical Operation
Compatible with utility vehicles, compact tractors, and mowers, giving flexibility in what tows the unit
Quickly attaches to the Jrco hitch with two clevis pins for fast setup and removal
An electric actuator lifts the heads for transport, simplifying moving between job sites or across non-aerated areas
Real Savings
105,000 sq. ft./hr. productivity reduces labor hours significantly on large-property or commercial aeration jobs
Independently floating rotor heads reduce the downtime and skipped areas that come from obstacles stalling a fixed-gang aerator
Compatibility with multiple tow vehicle types avoids the need for a dedicated aeration machine
Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Lawn care professionals and property managers covering large properties or commercial accounts can't afford an aerator that maxes out its coverage too quickly. The JRCO 60" Tow-Behind Hooker Aerator is built with 10 tine rotors, 105,000 sq. ft./hr. productivity, and independently floating rotor heads, so it delivers maximum aeration coverage on every pass.
