Abstract

A stand-on aerator includes a chassis, an operator platform extending from a rear portion of the chassis, an aerator assembly coupled to the chassis and having a plurality of reciprocating tines configured to extend from and retract into the aerator assembly, and an object detection sensor. At least a portion of the plurality of reciprocating tines are configured to retract in response to the object detection sensor detecting an object in a path of the aerator assembly.
