Since inception in 1980, First Products, Inc. continues its firm commitment to innovative turf equipment, quality manufacturing and customer service. Our efforts result in the development of specialty patented products proven to save time and money for a variety of industries.
With products like the Universal AERA-vator, the VERTI-cutter, the Multi-tine, and AERA-slicer we remain leaders in the turf equipment industry. From the coreless aerification of our patented “vibrating tines” technology to better thatch removal, turf renovation and seeding, First Products’ innovative turf equipment is unmatched in quality, performance and versatility.
With today's tight budgets everyone is looking for ways to lower equipment cost, and multi-functional equipment is a must.
The Universal AERA-vator from First Products raises the bar for versatility with three optional shafts and seed box option. Changing shafts takes about one hour, making this a machine that can be used for renovation projects in the morning and seeding tees in the afternoon. The vibrating action fractures the soil and optional seed box prepares the perfect seed bed for primary and overseeding with one machine.
The patented vibrating tines of the AERA-Vator deliver results without the extra work of traditional aerification.
 - Vibrating tines loosen the soil all around and underneath each tine, fracturing the soil with 9 holes per square foot.
- Better subsurface aerification due to total fracturing of the soil – no holes are “punched” into the surface.
- No cores or plugs mean less post-aerification cleanup.
- Aerating dry soil reduces the expense of pre-irrigating; in fact, the harder the soil, the better the AERA-vator performs.
- Swing-hitch allows easy turns while in use.
- Bonus: The Universal frame can be fitted with the AERA-vator, AERA-slicer and Multi-tine shafts for additional versatility to manage all areas of course maintenance.
Widths: 40, 60 & 80 inches (available with or without seeder)
First Products VERTI-cutter
Thatch removal is critical to good golf course management and the new First Products VC-60 raises the bar in verti-cutting. The patented swing hitch allows the unit to turn during operation increasing maneuverability. The belt drive (with larger 12” diameter blades) provide a faster blade RPM (tip speed) improving quality of cut. The faster RPM along with the turning ability increases production over wider gang units and with five power belts going deep is not a problem. Our new VERTI-cutter VC-60 is very heavy duty, easier to operate, faster and it’s competltively priced:
 - Designed for continuous heavy-duty operation on fairways and tees.
- Depth adjustments can be made in the field with no tools using a simple detent pin in 3/16” adjustments.
- Unique swing-hitch allows easy turns around objects.
- Quiet all-belt design means no chains to maintain.
- Pivot points in hitch allow unit to turn and float over uneven terrain.
- Great for around collars of greens and fairway bunkers.
- Centers automatically and locks for transporting.
- Deep cutting with minimal turf disturbance.
