Work :: Paddock & Equestrian :: LTA 160 - Soil Aerator

Logic Terr-ator, Aerator/Slitter 1.6m working width, c/w transport wheels. What does this do? Getting (and keeping) paddocks in shape means you have to pay attention to the structure of the soil. Often, the soil becomes compacted and loses all its structure, particularly if it’s a wettish piece of ground or there has been some heavy use. Time to get some air into the soil! You could try some of those dinky ‘lawn shoes’ and walk about a lot, but we wouldn’t recommend it (they aren’t comfortable). As you can imagine, Logic has the answer: the Terrator - a towed implement which produces some impressive slits in the soil surface, helping to improve drainage and aeration. With repeated use, the Terrator produces a tilth for sowing seed. Use the Terrator over the whole paddock on a regular basis and it allows air down to the grass roots, promoting healthy growth. In problem areas, make a few passes to really break the surface up. This will assist the productivity of that awkward patch of paddock that never produces much in the way of grazing. Your horse will thank you for it. Why do I need one? It’s a big timesaver and works wonders for the condition of compacted soil in paddocks and fields. Use it on a regular basis (it only takes a few minutes to run it over the entire paddock) to keep soil structure aerated. Where do I use it? Paddocks and fields. Never leave any implements out after use where animals can come into contact with them - you can work out why! How does it work? Tow the Terrator into the paddock (use a low-ground pressure vehicle where possible to avoid further compaction). Lower the blades onto the surface then tow the unit over the ground until the surface is well and truly aerated. Repeat as necessary. Watch the grass grow. Watch the horse eat the grass. Give self a pat on the back: better land management, better grazing and a neater-looking paddock!
