LandMax 2.0m Twin-Rotor Orchard Aerator

Shatter tractor hardpan and boost fruit yields with the LandMax 2.0m Twin-Rotor Aerator. Engineered for New Zealand orchards, this heavy-duty machine fractures compacted soils down to 200mm+ without disrupting the surface turf or damaging vital root systems. Technical Specifications Working Width: 2.0 Metres Machine Weight: 430kg (unweighted) Power Requirement: 60+ HP tractor Rotor Setup: Dual staggered twin rotors Tine Count: 48 tines total (4 per row | 6 rows per rotor) Tine Profile: 15mm thick heavy-duty cast steel Tine Spacing: 155mm precise centers Adjustability: 5-position manual adjustment More tines and more aeration that other brands. Core Benefits Eliminates wheel-track ponding: Opens deep drainage channels to prevent root asphyxiation and collar rot. Protects surface roots: Relieves deep compaction while keeping topsoil intact, preventing root wounds. Direct nutrient delivery: Allows liquid fertilizers and lime to sink straight to the roots instead of washing away. Floods soil with oxygen: Rapidly accelerates beneficial mycorrhizal fungi and earthworm activity. Maximizes drought resilience: Encourages fruit trees to drive roots deeper into subsoil moisture reserves. Lowers orchard thermal stress: Improves ground drainage to help stabilize soil temperatures during spring frosts. Reduces diesel bills: Requires significantly less horsepower to pull compared to traditional deep-ripping shanks. Engineering Benefits 15mm cast steel tines: Indestructible thickness that resists bending or snapping on buried rocks and roots. 155mm overlapping spacing: Tight spacing ensures subsoil shatter-zones overlap, leaving zero hardpan ridges. Twin-rotor stability: Synchronized dual-rotors deliver double the fracture lines while preventing tractor bounce. 5-stage angle system: Quickly adjust from a gentle slice in wet spring to aggressive shattering in dry autumn clay.
