The Alstrong range of Aerators are designed to aerate
the top layer of grassland paddocks. The unique blade
design and weight transfer system has the ability to
shatter the hard pan up to 30cm deep with very little soil
disturbance.
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 sequentially
to each blade as it enters the soil. This combined with
a working speed of up to 20kph, shocks and fractures
the soil structure up to 30cm deep. There is the option
of adding weight to the Aerator by lling the roller with
water.
The Alstrong Aerator may also be used as a seedbed
preparation tool when used on ploughed lands and can
be tted with an optional broadcast seeder to establish
certain crops such as rape seed.
Suitably built for New Zealand and Australian conditions,
the Alstrong Aerator will help
bring ‘your’ land to life !

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 Trafc Livestock Trafc 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.
Unlocks iron in the soil and helps to 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.
