Red Roo

Lawn Aerator

A walk-behind core aerator that punches four cam-driven tines straight down into the soil rather than dragging a drum across it, pulling plugs up to 64 mm deep in hard, compacted ground with no add-on weights needed. At 455 mm wide it suits smaller lawns and narrow access, and it turns without lifting, so a whole yard is far less work. The one to run before fertilising or overseeding: it relieves compaction, improves drainage and cuts thatch.
