Since 1985, the Dutch company GKB has developed user-oriented and innovative machines that are adapted to all types of sports surfaces. A compacted artificial grass pitch is unpleasant to play on and this problem must therefore be solved quickly. Loosening the pitch with a standard tooth bar will cause some wear: the fiber tips will split. If, on the other hand, you opt for the Aerator, this problem will not occur. Your complete synthetic turf system can be decompacted with an Aerator. The Aerator is equipped with tooth rollers, which are coupled to each other with a light toothing. Due to this toothing, the teeth of the roller transmit a slight prying effect. As a result, the compacted package breaks open, so that the sport-technical properties are brought back to the bottom. The field will feel like new again!

How does the machine work?
- Connect the machine to your tractor. In which way depends on the chosen model: this can be via a towing eye, or via the three-point coupling.
- Simply drive; the Aerator does not stop and follows your course.
- Gradually, the compacted artificial grass pitch is loosened.
- Processing speed 10 km/h.
- Follows you and don’t stop at the end of the field
- Slight prying action breaks open compacted package.
- Geared rollers coupled together.
- Available in version with 4, 6 or 8 tooth rollers.
- Weighting by means of metal plates.
- Easy to couple with towing eye or three-point coupling (cat I or II).
- Optional: adjustable front and rear roller set.

The features of the Aerator
Aerator Toothed gear rollers
Aerator has two toothed gear rollers, the front roller loosens and lifts the infill granulate while the rear roller deposits the infill granulate back.
Aerator Extra Weight Plates
Weights up to 90kg can be mounted on the Aerator. This is to increase ground pressure and loosen packed granules more easily.
Aerator The towing unit
In Picture 1, the Aerator is equipped as standard with a static Rear 3P lift cat I-II.
In Picture 2, the Aerator is equipped rear 3P lift cat I-II, with a hinge-like solution that follows your tractor in the turns.
Why GKB
