DESCRIPTION
Regular aeration enhances soil health by improving fertilizer, lime, & nutrient absorption. It helps control pH levels, reduces water runoff & puddling, relieves soil compaction, and enhances air/water absorption & root explanation. Significantly improves overseeding results.
To help your soil conditioning, we offer two classes of Aerators - core plugger & spike aerator. Each is available in Compact or Commercial models. Size can range from 3’-15+. You won't find a better-built Aerator.

Residential Spike-Aerators
Commercial-Grade Residential Spike-Aerators are built with 1 3/4" solid steel axle and quality grease-able bearings. The frames are made from 2 ½” angle iron that is 3/8” thick. Extra cross-bracing and laser-cut bearing plates ensure smooth operation and durability. Available with the travel options listed below.
Riding on a solid 1 ¾” axle & supported by two quality bearings, the 19” spike-drum has a plug to permit adding/removing water for added weight – increasing the dry weight from appx 85lbs per foot, to appx 120lbs per ft when filled.
Designed to punch 4.5” x 2” holes to maximize effectiveness. The 4.5” long solid spikes are 3/8” thick and mounted to a thick-wall 10 ¾ inch drum & a 1 ¾” to provide max weight & durability. Available as pull-tongue and/or 3-pt hitch or front-end loader QA.
HD Commercial Grade Spike-Aerators
HD Commercial Grade Spike-Aerators is built on a 3/8” thick, 16” diameter drum. The 2" solid steel axle is supported by quality grease-able bearings. Depending on size, the frame may be built with 3x5, 4x6, or 6x8” rectangular tubing with cross-bracing and gusset supports as necessary to ensure exceptional strength, smooth operation, and durability.

TRAVEL OPTIONS
For travel, you can choose 3-pt hitch, pull-tongue, flip-over, manual-lift, or
hydraulic travel systems - or most any combination.
Flip-over
Flip-over models are available in sizes of 3-10’ with 12" wheels/tires.
* The flip-over option gives you great flexibility at a reasonable price. But these things weigh appx 100lbs per foot. Flipping over an 800-1000 cultipacker is difficult. If you opt for a flip-over, I recommend you block both wheels & use a chain or strap to flip. Just let it free-fall and then hook back up. A good alternative for larger units is a manual lift.
Manual-lift
Manual-lift models are available in sizes of 3-12' with 12" wheels/tires.
The manual-lift travel system costs less than hydraulics and eliminates the need to disconnect or flip your unit to travel the heavy-duty jack to make lifting easier & quicker.
Hydraulic-lift
Hydraulic-lift models are available in any size with 14/15" wheels/tires, new hoses & quick connects. Everything you need to hit the field.
Note: Please allow 8 weeks for shipping as times may vary.
