Independent studies have shown a marked increase in the performance of grass production on fields that have been regularly aerated. The aerator perforates the top 100 mm of the soil structure allowing water, air and nutrients to the roots, the process also tears existing root structures to generate new growth, alleviates compaction and improves water drainage.
The best times to aerate are early in the season, prior to grass starting to grow and after the last silage cut of the year.
Main benefits
Relieves compaction
Better drainage of water into soil structure
Improves grass production
Main features
Category 2 three point linkage
Adjustable solid shaft which incorporates double flange fitting for the blades
Better use of the tractor unit and eliminates the ballast required for aerator
Controllable weight transfer - manual adjustment of weight transfer allows more or less pressure to be applied depending on if hard or soft ground is being aerated
Safer combination, especially on steep ground and when turning sharply
Painted finish in the recognisable Ritchie colours
