Help with idea

I posted the following in "operations" thread. No replies. Maybe I should have posted here. Your would be awesome.

Hi all. I am looking to increase the speed of a turf aerator. Specifically a Verti Core 1700. Its an older model, they have since replaced it with a Verti Core III 1600. Just background. Company link here so you can see what I am talking about. Golf and Sports Turf Equipment since 1980 I Redexim

Anyway, I am asking is there a gearbox I can change on this? Or change gears inside instead? I am looking for a 10-20% increase in operation so my ground speed can increase. I know this may sound extreme, but I am needing a slight speed increase.

Please, ideas and suggestions are appreciated.

I would pull a drum with spikes, then any speed the tractor goes the aeration happens.

If you are not pulling plugs, (or drilling ,as in post #3, It's a waste of time and effort.
