Compaction of grassland is a common problem caused by livestock and heavy machinery which reduces grazing potential.
The Aerator blades cut through the compacted layers of soil to open up fissures for better drainage, more efficient use of nutrients and healthier grass. A Blaney Aerator is a worthwhile investment that will last for years, boost your grass yield and reduce your fertiliser expense, improve slurry matter retention and nutrient uptake by roots
