Selvatici C1656J Deep Tine Aerator – Series 165-6
Description
The Selvatici C1656J from the 165-6 series is a heavy-duty deep tine aerator designed for professional turf maintenance. It is ideal for sports grounds, golf facilities, estates, and contractors who need effective soil decompaction without moving up to a much larger machine. Dealer and manufacturer sources describe the 300.50 Aeroking range as being built for compact and light tractors, with a layout that keeps the machine’s centre of gravity closer to the tractor to reduce strain on the lift arms and improve manoeuvrability.
The C1656J offers a 165cm working width and is commonly listed for tractors from 35 HP to 65 HP, making it a strong choice for customers who want wide coverage while still using a compact or mid-sized tractor. It is also listed with variable depth control up to 30cm below ground level, helping to break through compaction, improve water movement, and increase air flow into the root zone.
The official 300.50 series information also highlights key standard features including a three-speed lever gearbox, protected PTO shaft with clutch, three-point hitch with adjustable width, maintenance-free self-lubricating bearings, and a front roller with hydro ballast for depth adjustment. Selvatici also states that the machine uses a patented tool path guiding system to limit thrust on the hole edges during operation.
For customers maintaining sports turf, the biggest selling point is the machine’s ability to deliver real deep tine aeration while remaining compact and practical to use. This makes the C1656J a very good option for golf courses, sports clubs, local authorities, and professional turf contractors looking for a serious aeration machine with manageable tractor requirements.
