The equipment system for sports, golf, riding arenas and the gardening and landscaping sector A unique equipment system for professional natural and artificial turf reduces costs by up to 50 % Aeration Breaking Loosening Sowing
The AERA-vator is an innovative combination device for aeration, soil loosening, lawn seeding, applying soil conditioners, and more. The equipment system is multi-talented: It also does an excellent job for landscaping sports grounds, golf courses and riding arenas. The seed drill module is simply fitted onto the AERA-vator and is compatible with all rotor shafts. The rotor shafts are easy to change. The swivelling brush attachment module with grooming rake is optional and can be installed as a trailing unit. Multifunctional technology The AERA-vator has an abundance of special features. It is more flexible than any other device in this field as it can be configured for various kinds of work thanks to its modular design. The technical refinements that are concealed within the machine are unique in this market. They are protected by patents. High savings potential A lot of money is saved as soon as the AERA-vator is purchased. This is because different devices always used to be needed for individual jobs, but now the AERA-vator can do these completely stand-alone thanks to its modules, standard rotor shaft, multi-tine rotor shaft, cutting blade rotor shaft, seed drill and brush. Aeration - the lawn can breathe Highest efficiency thanks to 3 96 holes per square metre Depth: 9.5 cm AERA-vator rotor shaft Healthy lawn The aeration of lawns or dry areas raises the ground slightly allowing air to penetrate into the root zone and the ground is better prepared for water and nutrient intake. 592 holes per square metre Depth: 3 cm Multi-tine rotor shaft Perfect for artificial turf care The multi-tine rotor shaft can easily loosen artificial grass fabric. The tumbling movement of the tines simultaneously lifts the granulate to the surface. The brush distributes the granulate and equalises it by dragging. Reduced maintenance costs A great deal of time is saved thanks to the efficiency of the device, which in turn reduces maintenance costs. The optimal care of lawns and vegetation ground simultaneously reduces irrigation costs. Modular design Economic configuration according to task priorities. The basic device can be converted or upgraded at any time using modules. The modules are available separately and can also be purchased later. The AERA-vator is delivered with a standard rotor shaft, a maintenance rake and a smoothing roll/pressure roller as standard.

Soil loosening and simultaneous soil conditioner application replaceable rotor shafts and mounting of the 70 cuts per square meter Depth: 10.8 cm Cutting knife rotor shaft Stress relief The cutting knife rotor shaft (sold separately) is ideal for use for a fast, clean and efficient lawn and aeration stress relief during hot summer months when the soil is very dry. On golf fairways, greens and all sports turfs, the cutting knife rotor shaft breaks hard soils to a depth of 10.8 cm or loosens compacted soils. The slits can be cut (up to once a week) the growing season, since the grass is only lightly loaded. Aerating the lawn helps the vitality of lawn grasses and improves growth. Separates by stolons and rhizomes Lawn thatch is also tackled effectively. The slits contribute to a healthy and robust lawn. Sports grounds can be used again immediately Rapid seepage After heavy rain - if you run the AERA-vator over the lawn with the cutting knife rotor shaft, the water will seep into it rapidly. The ground can be used again immediately Advantageous: Soil material is not raised The elliptically rotating knife movement ensures easy penetration into the soil and high driving speed. Soil material is not raised even during maximum soil loosening. Soil that has been loosened by the AERA-vator can be used again for sports immediately. No material accumulations during turning Because the rotor shafts and pressure rollers consist of individual units, they can rotate at different speeds. The tools on the inside of the curve can rotate at a slower speed than those on the outside. This means that there are no accumulations of material on the lawn. Continuous driving over surfaces is possible, even through the tightest of turns, so that no time is wasted driving backwards and forwards (as with other commercially available equipment). "I am thrilled with the AERA-vator. It gives perfect maintenance and a top quality lawn for about 50% less"
Aeration and seeding/overseeding of greens and fairways Can also be used on hilly Vibration and tumbling movement give first class results The rotor shaft tines break compactions and crusting, loosen soil and improve gas exchange, thus promoting the soil life of aerobic bacteria. Dry patches are simultaneously treated for improved water intake. Aeration with the AERA-vator rotor shaft followed by quartz sand filling All this promotes healthy turf growth. The AERA-vator can also reduce and level lumpy topsoil. The standard rotor shaft tines have a diameter of 1.4 cm. The vibration and tumbling movement generates holes of up to 3.5 cm in diameter. This is ideal for adding large quantities of sand. Optimum water permeability is obtained in this way. landscapes In rapidly changing uneven ground the AERA-vator can adjust to the ground levelindependent from the tractor. Creating, maintaining and recycling gravel lawns The AERA-vator is also predestined for building gravel lawns. During rolling movements, the tines move in vibration and tumbling movements, penetrating the ground and loosening it. The tractor speed regulates the tine vibration time per square centimetre. This incorporates deposited topsoil perfectly into the vegetation without creating accumulations (such as those caused by a mill). No dismantling is necessary. This saves a great deal of time. Grain and fibre structures are not destroyed but only crumbled. This treatment can be done on almost any surface. Even a decades-old gravel base layer can be loosened again. Arena care Expand your portfolio Riding arenas can also be reconditioned outstandingly with the AERA-vator. All landscapers can use this device to expand their range of services and increase their customer base. The AERA-vator offers excellent advantages for the riding surface. For example: For riding surfaces with separating layer grid plates, the tines of the standard rotor shaft penetrate into the grid plates and loosen the filter chippings without destroying the plates. The treading layer is loosened where required. There is no uncontrolled removal of material as with other commercially available arena levelling equipment. Solidified treading layers are fully crumbled without destroying fibres. New maintenance sand can also be mixed in this process. Extremely tight turning circle The AERA-vator has a patented, pivoting suspension that gives a tight turning circle without damaging treated surfaces! Tractor Tractors from 30 horsepower - preferably with three point linkage and PTO drive.
A rich green - a feast for the eyes In one operation: Aeration and seeding/overseeding seed drill module Depending on the seed size and type, seed discharge quantities are between 4.5 kg (per ha) and 567 kg (per ha). Seed drill module Enormous time savings The genius of this module is that aeration and sowing can be done simultaneously. The same applies to aeration and overseeding. Or aerating and fertilizing, or the introduction of soil additives or water storage media (with no dismantling). The universal seed hopper is suitable for sowing large and small seed types and grains, which are metered precisely by a feed roller. Better grass seed germination The superior design of the AERA-vator allows optimum, streak-free application and incorporation of the seed. 1 Feed rollers are used to spread the seed for planting through 15 outlets (UA-60 model) and 20 outlets (UA-80 model). The technical features enable high seed metering accuracy. Sowing can be stopped via an unlocking mechanism. This prevents seed losses. 2 The desired output rate can be adjusted easily via the trailing collection bar. Seed can also be discharged from behind the rotor shaft. The seed drill module is compatible with each of the three rotor shafts. Simple adjustment The calibration mechanism can be changed according to the seed size and quantity by swapping the chain gears. 3 The seed size can be adjusted with precision by lifting the easily accessible wind deflector. The adjustment screw can be used to make fine groove alignments for micro-seed.
