Abstract
A turf aerator is provided with two separate shafts, each having a plurality of tines mounted thereon for aerating the turf. Each shaft is selectively connected to an output shaft of a motor mounted on the frame of the aerator by two separate drive trains, each having a clutch arrangement therein. A pair of control levers are mounted on a handle assembly for operating the clutches in each drive train. Thus either or both of the tine carrying shafts may be rotated to facilitate a turning operation of the aerator or facilitating the operation of the aerator while traversing a sloping surface.
