Giant Pasture Aerator Also Controls Brush

Giant Pasture Aerator Also Controls Brush TILLAGE EUIPMENT Miscellaneous 21-2-12 "It's the biggest, heaviest-built pasture aerator on the market, and it can also be used to clear weeds and brush in one pass. Our biggest model can chop up 6-in. dia. trees with no problems," says Cathy Lawson, Kissimmee, Fla., about her company's "spiral-blade" pasture aerator. The aerator consists of a steel drum with 6-in. blades mounted in a spiral patern. The blades fracture the soil 18 to 24 in. deep for increased water retention. "It's a cost efficient way to produce more grass while controlling brush at the same time," says Lawson. "The blades chop brush without turning the soil over. They leave fields smooth and pull evenly behind the tractor without jerking, even across rough terrain. Our aerators also work great on CRP ground and on sod and hay fields. "We have 24 different models available in widths of 8, 10, 12, and 14 ft., with single or tandem drums that range from 16 to 42 in. in diameter. They require tractors ranging from 20 to 300 hp. In addition, we can custom build the units to suit any size tractor. They can also be equipped with electric broadcast seeders so that you can aerate and overseed at the same time." A hardened steel solid axle extends through the drum. Drum angle can be adjusted to adjust the amount of aggression and aeration. Heavy duty wheels and tires can be added.
