Stinger Quad-Aer 3000 30″ Riding Aerator

Stinger Quad-Aer 3000 30-Inch Riding Aerator With Kawasaki FS651 The Quad-Aer 3000 is Stinger’s 30-inch riding aerator, worked from a fold-down operator platform and built around a hydrostatic direct tine drive with no chains to adjust and no grease points to service. A Kawasaki FS651 powers it, and it aerates at up to 7 mph forward, which Stinger rates at up to 2 acres per hour. Tine Control on the Quad-Aer 3000 Stinger quotes less than half a second to raise or lower the tines. A three-position switch sets how the foot pedal behaves: in UP, the tines stay raised until the pedal is pressed; in DOWN, they stay in the ground until it is pressed; in TRANSPORT, the pedal is switched off and the tines stay up. The manual notes that the DOWN default suits operators who mostly work larger properties. Depth, up to 4 inches, comes from hydraulic down pressure set on a regulator and adjusted to the soil. Quad-Aer 3000 Measurements Engine: Kawasaki FS651 Aerating width: 30 in; depth up to 4 in Speed: up to 7 mph forward, 3 mph reverse Production: up to 2 acres per hour Fuel tank: 6 gal Weight: 960 lb Length: 67.5 in, 58.5 in with platform up Height: 47 in Drive tires: 18 x 7.00-10 Hydraulic Checks on the Quad-Aer 3000 Check the hydraulic fluid daily on level ground; it should sit halfway up the sight glass on the tank. Change the fluid and filter after the first 50 hours, then once a year or every 200 to 250 hours, whichever comes first, refilling with up to 6 quarts of synthetic 15W-50. After a change, start at low rpm, make small moves with the levers and cycle the tines up and down, then recheck the level, since steering and speed can be erratic until the system is fully pressurized. Options for the Quad-Aer 3000 The SeedBox 30 mounts on to overseed while aerating, and Stinger also builds the Quad-Aer 3000 with it installed at the factory. The machine’s own accessory list adds 20 lb and 50 lb weight kits and a run-flat solid tire kit. Quad-Aer 3000 or GT30 The GT30 shares the 30-inch tine width and the 67.5-inch platform-down length, but steps up to a fuel-injected Kawasaki FT730V rated at 26 hp and 9.7 mph forward; Stinger rates it 25 percent faster, at up to 2.5 acres per hour against the QA3000’s 2. Choose the Quad-Aer 3000 when 7 mph and up to 2 acres per hour cover the route, or the Quad-Aer 3600 when the properties suit a 36-inch swath. · Stinger
