Green-Rite GRT Aerator and Overseeder

This versatile overseeder and aerator is engineered to tackle multiple turf management tasks in just one efficient pass. Equipped for use with 25 to 70 HP tractors, it combines aeration, overseeding, fertilizing, and soil compaction to deliver healthier, thicker lawns while cutting down the hours spent on maintenance. Whether outfitted with an aerating rotor that uses straight blades for precise soil penetration or a tiller rotor for traditional ground preparation, this machine adapts seamlessly to your landscaping needs.

Built with American craftsmanship in mind, this rugged tool features high-precision seed metering cups for even distribution, adjustable tickler tines for optimal seed coverage, and durable corrugated rollers that ensure proper soil compaction for maximum seed germination.

Heavy-duty components such as a shielded PTO shaft with slip clutch safety and nylon/fiberglass construction on key parts ensure long-lasting dependability through seasons of hard work.
