Alstrong Aerators

Three Models: 840T, 940T & 940M

The Alstrong range of aerators are designed not only to aerate the top layer of grassland but thanks to their unique blade design and weight they have the ability to shatter the hard pan up to 30cm (12”) deep without any soil disturbance or disruption to grazing systems.

The blade design offers greater soil penetration, mechanically altering the physical structure of the soil, leading to better grass growth. Due to its unique patented design, the weight is transferred simultaneously to each blade as it enters the soil. Combined with a working speed of up to 20kph, this in turn shocks and fractures the soil structure up to 30cm (12”) deep.

The Alstrong aerator may also be used as a seedbed preparation tool when used on ploughed lands and can be fitted with an optional broadcast seeder to establish certain crops such as rape seed.

Why Aerate?

For a soil to be productive it needs to have a good balance of the basic soil elements - minerals, air, water and organic matter. Soil compaction does not allow this balance to exist.

The three main causes of soil compaction are:

■   Equipment Traffic
■   Livestock Traffic
■   Rainfall

Benefits Of Aeration

■   Increased tolerance to drought.
■   Aeration can release the equivalent of 50KGs of Nitrogen per Hectare.
■   Increases earthworm activity in the soil.
■   Unlock iron in the soil and help wash it out.
■   Reduced expenditure on NPK.
■   Surface drainage is greatly improved with faster absorption of slurry and Winter rainfall.
■   Nutrients get to the roots faster.

The Alstrong range of aerators are designed to aerate the top layer of grassland to a depth of 15cm.

Thanks to their unique blade design and weight they continue to shatter the hard pan down to a depthof 30cm deep without any soil disturbanceor disruption to grazing systems.

The blade design offers greater soil penetration, mechanically altering the physical structureof the soil, leading to better grass growth.

Due to its unique patented design the weight is transferred simultaneously to each blade as it enters the soil. Combined with a working speed of 20kph.

1. Before Aeration

Shallow Roots & Compacted Soil
 

2. Immediately Following

Better Absorption of Water, Oxygen & Minerals
 

3. 9-10 Weeks Later

Newer & Deeper Roots.
