Paddock™ 3-Point Drum Spike Aerator – 1500mm / 60", Cat I

The Paddock™ 3-Point Drum Spike Aerator is a simple and effective tractor attachment for aerating lawns, paddocks, turf and other grassed areas. Designed to connect directly to a Category I 3-point linkage, the aerator features a wide 1500mm (60") working width and 126 ground-penetrating spikes. As the tractor moves forward, the drum rolls across the surface and the spikes penetrate the soil to a maximum depth of approximately 63mm (2.5"). Paddock™ 3-Point Drum Spike Aerator – 1500mm / 60" Aerating compacted ground helps create pathways for air, water and nutrients to penetrate the soil, supporting healthier root development and improved turf and pasture conditions. The large drum can be filled to add weight when additional penetration is required, while the 3-point linkage allows the implement to be easily raised for transport and positioning. Paddock™ 1500mm 3-Point Drum Spike Aerator A practical solution for maintaining larger grassed areas, the Paddock™ Drum Spike Aerator combines a generous working width with the convenience of tractor-mounted operation. Unlike powered implements, the aerator requires no PTO drive or hydraulic connections. Simply attach it to a compatible Category I tractor and drive across the area to be aerated. Drum Spike Aerator Features 1500mm (60") working width 126 aeration spikes Up to 63mm (2.5") aeration depth Category I 3-point linkage Large 40 gallon (approx. 151L) drum Fillable drum allows additional weight to be added for improved soil penetration Retractable support feet help keep the spikes clear of the ground when not in use No PTO or hydraulic connection required Simple rolling operation Helps improve penetration of water, air and nutrients into the soil Particularly suited to looser and sandier soils Suitable for lawns, turf, paddocks and property maintenance Heavy-duty 95kg implement weight Paddock™ Machinery 1500mm Working Width With a working width of approximately 1500mm (60"), the aerator is designed to cover large areas efficiently. The wide drum makes it well suited to acreage properties, paddocks, sporting turf, larger lawns and other areas where aerating with smaller walk-behind equipment would be time consuming. 126 Ground-Penetrating Spikes The drum incorporates 126 spikes positioned across its working width. As the drum rotates, these spikes penetrate the ground to create openings in the soil. This assists water, air and nutrients in reaching below the surface rather than simply running off or remaining at the top of the soil. Maximum stated aeration depth is approximately 63mm (2.5"), with actual penetration depending on soil conditions, moisture content and drum weight. Fillable 40 Gallon Drum The aerator incorporates a large 40 gallon (approx. 151L) drum, which can be filled to increase the operating weight of the implement when additional ground penetration is required. This allows the operator to adjust the effective weight to better suit different soil conditions. Note: Added ballast significantly increases the total implement weight. Always ensure the tractor's 3-point linkage has adequate lift capacity and remain within the tractor manufacturer's operating limits. Category I 3-Point Linkage The aerator is designed for tractors equipped with a compatible Category I 3-point linkage. The tractor's linkage allows the aerator to be raised clear of the ground for transport, turning and positioning. As with other 3-point linkage implements, compatibility should be confirmed using the tractor's linkage category, dimensions and lift capacity rather than tractor brand alone. This follows the compatibility approach used on the existing Paddock tractor attachment range. Retractable Support Feet Retractable support feet allow the implement to be supported with the aeration spikes clear of the ground when not operating. This helps protect the spikes from unnecessary contact and wear during storage and makes connecting and disconnecting the implement easier. Typical Applications Acreage and property maintenance Paddocks and grassed areas Large residential lawns Turf maintenance Sporting and recreational grounds Sandy and loose soils Improving water and nutrient penetration Routine soil and turf maintenance Specification Details Attachment Type Tractor drum spike aerator Tractor Connection Category I 3-point linkage Working Width 1500mm / 60" Number of Spikes 126 Maximum Aeration Depth 63mm / 2.5" Drum Capacity 40 gallon / approx. 151L Net Weight 95kg Gross / Shipping Weight 120kg Package Dimensions 1770 × 680 × 635mm PTO Required No Hydraulics Required No Warranty 12 mths Safe Operation Before operation, confirm the tractor and 3-point linkage are suitable for the aerator and its operating weight, particularly when ballast has been added to the drum. Actual spike penetration will vary depending on soil type, moisture, compaction and the amount of weight in the drum. Take additional care on slopes, uneven terrain and around underground irrigation, electrical services or other buried infrastructure.
