<strong>TERRA</strong> <strong>SPIKE</strong> ® <strong>XF</strong> / <strong>XD</strong>Time is money. This principle applies today more thanever when it comes to professional turf care. It doesn‘tmatter whether you are maintaining sports grounds or golfcourses, the time available to you is becoming increasinglylimited while the players place ever more exactingdemands on the quality of the turf. Regular deep looseningand aeration is one of the most important prerequisitesfor a healthy root growth. Breaking up the compactingof the ground allows the roots to penetrate deeperinto the ground and take better advantage of the waterand nutrients. The flow of water and the air balance areimproved, turf thatch is removed and the shear strengthis increased.TwinDriveIn the past, this maintenance work used to be – in spite ofall the technical innovations – time consuming work. Usedto be – because the new generation of <strong>TERRA</strong> <strong>SPIKE</strong> ® <strong>XF</strong>and <strong>TERRA</strong> <strong>SPIKE</strong> ® <strong>XD</strong> deep aerators by <strong>Wiedenmann</strong>has revolutionised turf care and set new standards forspeed, productivity and work quality. Aerate and loosenyour turf up to 27 cm deep at a speed of up to 5.7 km/h.Save up to 60% of the time it used to take you to performthis maintenance job.<strong>TERRA</strong> <strong>SPIKE</strong> ® <strong>XF</strong> and <strong>TERRA</strong> <strong>SPIKE</strong> ® <strong>XD</strong> – the revolutionin deep loosening.This brochure will give you all the technical details of thisnew generation of deep aerators.

TwinDriveCrankshaft Turf retainer Depth adjustmentThe continuous crankshaft isdriven on both sides by „elastic“ribbed V belts. The maintenancefreedrive is encapsulated andprotected against dust and dirt.The extremely sturdy, computeroptimisedcrankshaft runs onlarge sized ball bearings. Precislycalculated counterweights allowfor the <strong>TERRA</strong> <strong>SPIKE</strong> ® <strong>XF</strong> / <strong>XD</strong>unrivalled smooth running.The optional turf retainer preventsdamage to shallow rootedturf.The working depth of the<strong>TERRA</strong> <strong>SPIKE</strong> ® <strong>XF</strong> / <strong>XD</strong> can beadjusted easily and withouttools by using a hand crank.As an option, the working depthcan be set hydraulically fromthe seat of the tractor – evenwhile driving.The revolutionThe high productivity of the <strong>TERRA</strong> <strong>SPIKE</strong> ® <strong>XF</strong> / <strong>XD</strong> willconvince you. Loosen and aerate your turf up to 275 mm deepat a speed of almost 6 km/h and at a distance between holes of195 mm. Even square hole spacing of 65 or 130 mm is achievedat forward speeds of 1.9 or 3.8 km/h. This means more surfacearea coverage per hour and considerably less interruption ofplay. Your players will thank you.You‘ll be surprised how quick and easy both the workingdepth and the loosening angle can be adjusted by theQuickSet. The wide adjustment range of the looseningangle from 90° to 65°, which can be regulated centrallyby the crank, allows you to ideally adapt the looseningintensity to the prevailing ground conditionsand degree of compaction.The exclusive TwinDrive is available equippedwith different gear ratios. This allows thecrankshaft speed to be adjusted ideally tothe available tractor power.

VibraStop / PowerPackDeep aerification and loosening is tough work, both for manand machine. If, for example, a tine strikes a stone duringoperation, the tine must lift the entire machine within a fractionof a second in order to overcome this obstacle. The jolts andvibrations that inevitably occur when this happens adverselyaffect not only the deep aerifier, but also the tractor and thetractor driver in the form of damaging jolts and vibrations.Consequently the quality of work suffers.To eliminate this fundamental drawback, <strong>Wiedenmann</strong> hasdeveloped two independently operating, exclusive dampingsystems - VibraStop and PowerPack. Together, they absorbperfectly jolts and vibrations caused by extreme compactionor stones. The result is unrivalled smoothness of running witha minimum of strain on the driver, tractor, deep aerifier andtools.QuickSetVibraStopQuickSetCrankshaftPowerPackPowerPackTwinDriveQuickSetPTO couplingSensing rollerTurf retainerOther machines on themarketThe tine strikes an obstaclein the soil.

ToolsHydraulic rotary brush Swathboard Multi-tine holderEvery time you pass overthe grass, it causes compactionand has a negativeimpact on the growth.Reduce the number ofpasses by combining the<strong>TERRA</strong> <strong>SPIKE</strong> ® <strong>XF</strong> / <strong>XD</strong> withtrailers that can be purchasedas an option.Use the optional “nail board“to increase the number ofholes per square metre andto intensify the degree ofmaintenance.If the optional hydraulic rotarybrush is used instead of the rearroller, the turf is first top-dressedand then deep loosened whilethe top-dress material is brushedinto the turf. This reduces thenumber of passes.When using hollow tines thecores can be deposited in rowsby means of the optional swathboard.This makes the subsequentcollection of the coresmuch easier.Solid tines 5 x 65, 5 x 135,8 x 65 or 8 x 150 mm aremounted in the multi-tine holder”nail board“. 24, 16 or 8 tinescan be mounted, dependingon the task and the requiredhole pattern. The ”sandwichconstruction“ of the nail boardallows quick and easy tinereplacement.<strong>TERRA</strong> <strong>SPIKE</strong> ® <strong>XF</strong> / <strong>XD</strong> thereisn‘t any more productiveway to care for your turf.TECHNICAL DATA <strong>TERRA</strong> <strong>SPIKE</strong> ® <strong>XF</strong> <strong>TERRA</strong> <strong>SPIKE</strong> ® <strong>XD</strong>Model: <strong>XF</strong> 6 <strong>XF</strong> 8 <strong>XD</strong> 6 <strong>XD</strong> 8Working width in cm: 160 210 160 210Weight in kg (approx.): 1070 1275 1125 1345Maximum working depth in mm: 220 220 275 275Dimensions L / W / H in cm (approx.): 135 / 215 / 120 135 / 264 / 120 139 / 215 / 120 139 / 264 / 120Mounting: rear three point cat.
