Description
Classen TA25DA Overview
The Classen TA25DA, sold as the PRO 25 PowerSteer Aerator, is a walk-behind aerator built around a patented PowerSteer split-drive system that steers the machine through its tines. Rather than lifting or dragging the unit at the end of a pass, the operator simply powers through the turn, which saves time and muscle strain on large properties and around obstacles such as trees, hydrants and planting beds.
A Honda GX120 engine drives the belt transmission, and 36 tines pull 0.75-inch cores to a maximum depth of 2.75 inches. To reach depth in compacted or dry ground, the aerator combines a removable 42 lb weight bar with a water drum that holds 9.5 gallons. Classen rates productivity at up to 32,850 square feet per hour, and the machine is designed for professionals and demanding users who work in soil conditions from soft to compacted. Its 4 x 7-inch hole pattern gives 6.5 holes per square foot, and the 320 lb machine is built for commercial-grade durability with minimal maintenance.
Key Features
- Patented PowerSteer split-drive system that steers through the tines, so turns need no lifting or dragging.
- Smooth turns at the end of each row and around obstacles like trees, hydrants and beds.
- Removable weight bar plus a fillable 9.5-gallon water drum for better penetration in hard or dry soil.
- Side bumpers that help prevent damage from obstacles while keeping tine action consistent.
- Tire scrapes that help hold an even depth for uniform cores.
- Non-lube ball bearings and protective chain guards that reduce maintenance and keep debris off moving components.
- Smooth-start throttle that combines the throttle and belt tightener in one control.
Who It’s For
The TA25DA suits lawn care professionals, landscapers and rental fleets that aerate large lawns or obstacle-filled properties and want powered turning to cut operator strain. The aerator carries a two-year warranty, and the engine is warranted separately.
