Land-Slit Aerators
Dual solutions in one-pass unique slurry application before aeration.
Research has proven that slit aeration on compacted soils greatly enhances grassland performance and its response to nutrient applications.
Soils compacted by heavy machinery or intensive livestock grazing causes the top layers of the soil to become impermeable and not allowing nutrients, rainfall or oxygen to penetrate into the soil which can cause irradiation of the earth worm colonies that provide vital ecosystem attributes.
The SlurryKat aerator goes one step further than other competitor models by allowing application of slurry with a dribble bar mounted on the front of the aerator rather than after the aeration process.
This unique SlurryKat patented process of “Pre- Aeration Application” rather than after the slitting process, prevents the benefits of the aeration process being undone.
The slit fissures created by the blades remain open and unfilled with slurry, allowing excellent grassland performance in the months that follow this unique ‘one-pass’ process.
