AERATORS  Imants ShockWave Xtreme


The Imants ShockWave Xtreme is a linear decompactor designed to both maintain proper soil porosity and bulk density by relieving soil compaction, improving aeration, and removing surface water. With a working depth of 6 to 13 inches (15 to 33 cm), the ShockWave Xtreme provides maximum soil decompaction with minimal surface disruption. ShockWave Xtreme has successfully been used to significantly reduce the time needed to prepare a harvested field for revegetation or seeding to as short as one day! Quick turnaround enables multiple harvests from a single field in the same growing season, resulting in greater revenue without sacrificing the health of your soil. The wide 9-foot (2.75-m) working width and up to 1.9 mph (14.5 kph) operating speed make the ShockWave Xtreme the ideal choice for sod farms. Designed to meet contractors’ use of larger tractors, it is capable of handling higher horsepower. (160 hp max) Website: http://www.aquaaidsolutions.com/cultural-solutions/imants-shockwave-xtreme/


 Brouwer Aerator MAKE A BIG IMPACT | 8-foot or 12-foot models (2.44-meter or 3.66-meter)


Make a big impact and deliver a higher quality product with the rugged Brouwer Aerator. Grow stronger and healthier turfgrass that will mature sooner and absorb more water and fertilizer for overall faster growth. With custom depth control for up to 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) and 30-50 lbs. (13.61-22.69 kg) of weights per gang, the Brouwer Aerator punctures the surface to root level allowing water, air, fertilizer, and other chemicals to penetrate turf while maintaining the ability to harvest or use turf immediately. For harder ground or deeper penetration, additional weights are available to add or remove as needed. Requiring only a mid-sized tractor, the heavy-duty frame with simple and durable design follows ground contours. A single lift cylinder makes for easy transport and spot use in the field. Available in 1/2 in. or 1 in. (1.27 cm or 2.54 cm) thickness, with 6 in. (15.24 cm) aeration hole spacing.


 BM50 Verti-Cutter


The BM50 verti-cutter is available in 1.56 m (5.12 ft.) and 1.8 m (5.91 ft.) working widths, with a depth range from 0 – 40 mm (0 – 1.57 in.), adjustable in 0.5 mm (.0019 in.) increments. Working at 0.0 mm, the machine does not contact the soil, removing just the thatch. Working at the greatest depth, it scarifies deeper, removing huge amounts of debris. With its fixed blade system, it requires only removal and replacement of worn blades. The high- performance rotor guarantees excellent work in all circumstances, even when the blade’s cutting edge is not in optimal condition. Standard version blades are made of HARDOX material, 3 mm (0.118 in.) thick, spaced 30 mm (1.18 in.) apart. Optional 2 mm (.079 in.) and 3 mm (.118 in.) tungsten-tipped blades are available. The BM50 1600 model requires a 25-hp tractor for operation; the larger 1800 model requires a 30- hp tractor. Visit www.campeyturfcare.com
