Frequently Asked Questions... Q. Where are Titan Tines made? A. All materials and components including packaging of Titan tines are manufactured in the USA exclusively for Toro. Q. What is the difference between a Titan Max tip and the Titan HD Fairway tip? A. Titan Max tines have a unique carbide blend offering the greatest longevity of any carbide tipped tine on the market. Carbide tipped tines provide the best extended wear benefits in most conditions. While carbide is very durable it can also be susceptible to breakage in extreme conditions. The Titan HD Fairway has a hardened tip which provides extended wear at a much lower cost than carbide and is much less susceptible to breakage in extreme conditions. A Patent Pending manufacturing process increases wear rates over standard Titan Fairway tines by 75% in most conditions. Expected wear rates will be reduced in extreme rocky conditions but will still offer improvements over standard Titan Fairway tines and provide a good cost alternative to carbide tipped tines, which may be susceptible to breakage in rocky areas. Q. What is normal wear expectancy for a Titan tine and Titan Max? A. Many competitive versions have promoted longevity based on holes aerated. This is a very difficult measurement considering wear rates may vary greatly depending on size of area impacted, application and soil conditions. Expected longevity of a standard Titan tine should be three times that of a classic original version. A Titan Max tine will perform three times or greater than standard Titan Tines. Testing conducted confirms our Titan Max tine will last 19% and 24% longer than leading competitive versions. Q. Why are there so many varieties of tines? A. We offer such a wide variety of tines to give customers the greatest flexibility in aeration choice. Every customer has a unique soil situation and variety provides the opportunity to choose a tine best suited for your need. 5 www.toro.com Q. Do Toro Titan tines fit other manufacturers’ aerator models? A. Yes, Toro Titan tines will fit most John Deere ® , Ryan ® and Jacobsen ® aerators. Please reference the fit up chart located in your Titan Tine catalog. Mounting size of the tine should be used to match dimensions of aerator tine head. We also offer two sleeves to convert Titan 3/8" mount tines to 1/2" and 5/8" mounting sizes used on most Ryan products. Contact your Toro distributor for more information. Q. What do I do if my tines are plugging? A. Hollow tines are more prone to plugging than side eject tines. This situation is more likely in heavier soil conditions with longer and larger ID tines. Switch to side eject tines and allow the soil to dry out a bit more. Longer tines used with some equipment are reaching deeper. If the tines are pulling the heavier soil below the previous aeration depths, then the use of a side eject larger coring tine can minimize the plugging. Small rocks within sand can cause both hollow and side eject tines to plug. If possible, try using a larger coring diameter tine. Q. What do I do if tines seem to be breaking prematurely? A. Be sure the tine selected is of appropriate structure for the area. Tines designed for greens and tees are not necessarily designed to withstand impacts with hidden objects such as stones and tree roots. Wear around the side eject window will eventually weaken the tine and should be replaced prior to this point. Q. What do I do if the cores are being left in the turf (often referred to as the cookie cutter effect)? A. Soil with higher moisture content can cause a ‘hydraulic lock’ on the core and resist removal. Wait for the moisture level to decrease or hold off on irrigation. Other types of tines can make a difference. For example change from a hollow tine to a side eject tine or even the coring diameter.

Punch Out Tough Soil Conditions. THE NEW TITAN HD FAIRWAY: • Patent-pending heat-treat process creates a heavy-duty steel • Last up to 75%* longer than standard fairway tines in most soil conditions. • Provides a great mid range wear and price value between standard and carbide tipped tines. • Offers a superior alternative to carbide tipped tines in extreme conditions where tips can be susceptible to breakage. * Expected wear rates will be reduced in extreme rocky conditions but will still offer improvements over standard Titan Fairway tines and provide a good cost alternative to carbide tipped tines, which may be susceptible to breakage in rocky areas.
