The James Soil Aerator was manufactured to overcome the compaction of soil
structures which result in excess moisture on pasture surfaces, shallow
root systems and restricted plant growth.
The three point linkage mounted implement aerates the top 25 cm of the
soil, draining the pasture surface and giving increased worm population
and activity. This also increases root growth which in turn produces
pasture growth, at the same time retaining fertility on the surface. The
increased depth of root structure results is greater ability to produce
growth in dry weather conditions.
The unique waving action as the turf
flows through the blade assemblies produces maximum fracturing of the top
25 cm layer and releases minerals which have been unavailable because of a
lack of oxygen.
M.A.F. trials conducted on pasture in Southland produced an average dry
matter increase of 21.7% over a 15 month period.
