A good, healthy lawn needs constant care & maintenance & aerating is a vital part of this process. A very broad working width of 1.2 metres makes this aerator the ideal machine for looking after a large lawn, or lawns, & it can be moved from area to area easily, courtesy of the handy, lever operated, transport adjustment. Just raise the coring points to move, lower them to work. The aerating is carried out by 32 hollow coring points, which remove small plugs of earth & turf from the lawn, allowing soil that has become compacted to loosen &, like a spiked aerator, allowing water, air & sunlight to nourish & nurture the roots, encouraging healthy growth. Plug aerators are particularly beneficial for lawns based on clay soils. The aerator has a flat area on top (the tray) on which you can place weights to make penetration even deeper & the MD 48T Tow-Behind Aerator has coring points which can dig in up to 75 millimetres. The weight capacity of the tray is 63.5kg. Wide rubber tyres are fitted to the wheels, to ensure a smooth run without damaging your lawn & they are patterned for added grip in wet weather. A hitch pin enables the aerator to be towed behind all models of ride-on.
