Our petrol lawn aerator is designed to be used only on grassed areas where the surface soil is more than 10cm in depth.
Effective lawn aeration is essential for maintaining the health of any lawn, encouraging deep root growth and nutrients into the soil and also for improving the drainage while alleviating any dry patches.
This is far easier to achieve if you are equipped with a powered lawn hollow tine aerator (or lawn 'plugger').
You can fit this handy and reliable petrol-driven aerator with either hollow corers (for compacted lawns) or solid spikes (for general lawn maintenance).
Our aerators are supplied with hollow tines.
If you require solid tines please ask when booking.
How to Use a Lawn Aerator
This petrol lawn aerator is extremely simple to operate and is powered by a 4 stroke 5.5 horse power Honda engine which runs on normal unleaded petrol.
This powerful and reliable engine allows the machine to work unhindered on even the toughest of garden terrain up to a maximum slope gradient of 20 degrees.
You have one lever to engage the drive to the tines, and another to drop them into the ground.
The machine works by punching the tines into the ground using the power of the engine and having the added benefit of being self-propelled, so you don't have to push it along.
The tines can punch up to 3 inches deep into the ground depending on the conditions and texture of the soil and allows it to achieve perfect aeration every time.
Furthermore, the aerator is fitted with light pneumatic tyres which not only helps to reduce any damage to the lawn but also makes this a very manoeuvrable machine which can be easily steered into difficult areas of your garden.
Also at being only 71cm (28 inches) wide, the aerator will comfortably fit through a standard garden gate.
A lawn aerator is best used before and after the summer, during the growth season.
With a weight at over 90kg, this machine can only be loaded and unloaded using ramps, which can be hired from us, and will only go into a trailer, van or jeep type car.
