Rolux X-CORE 18" Lawn Aerator

X-Core 18″ Lawn Aerator — Professional Core Aeration for a Healthier, Greener Lawn

Revive compacted, stressed, or thinning lawns with the X-Core 18″ Lawn Aerator — a durable, high-performance machine engineered to deliver deep, effective core aeration. Designed for homeowners, landscapers, contractors, and turf professionals, this aerator opens the soil and allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone, resulting in stronger, thicker, greener grass all year round.

What the X-Core Aerator Does

Over time, lawns become compacted from foot traffic, equipment, pets, and regular use. This prevents water and nutrients from reaching the roots. Core aeration solves this by removing small plugs from the soil, creating open channels that boost root development, reduce thatch, and improve drainage.

Key Features

• Powerful 208cc Engine (Briggs & Stratton XR950)
  Delivers excellent performance and consistent core penetration even in hard, compacted clay soil.

• 18″ Working Width
  Provides the perfect balance between coverage and maneuverability, ideal for both residential and commercial properties.

• Up to 90mm Core Depth
  Deep core penetration encourages stronger root growth and improved soil structure.

• Efficient Coverage
  Can aerate up to approximately 2,500 m² per hour, making it suitable for medium to large lawns.

• Uniform Core Spacing
  Balanced tine spacing ensures even aeration across the entire lawn surface.

• Heavy-Duty Build
  Designed for tough South African soil conditions with reliable, long-lasting components.

Benefits for Your Lawn

• Improves water absorption and reduces water runoff.

• Boosts nutrient uptake, especially after fertilizing.

• Breaks up thatch and compacted soil, improving soil aeration.

• Encourages deeper, stronger root growth for a healthier lawn.

• Enhances lawn thickness, colour, and resilience against drought and heat.

• Improves overall drainage, reducing puddles and soggy areas.

When to Use

For best results, aerate when soil is slightly moist — not dry or waterlogged. Most lawns benefit from aeration once a year, while high-traffic lawns or clay-heavy soil may need aeration more frequently.

Ideal For

• Residential lawns

• Complexes and estates

• Sports fields and commercial turf

• Lawns suffering from compaction, thatch buildup, or poor drainage
