Transform your lawn care with one pass — aerate, seed, fertilize, and compact in a single operation.
The Green-Rite GRT Aerator & Overseeder is a versatile, heavy-duty implement built for tractors (25–70 HP, 540 rpm, Cat-1 hitch) that simplifies turf renovation and maintenance. It combines multiple lawn-care tasks in one efficient pass — from aerating and overseeding to fertilizing and compacting — making it ideal for homeowners, landscapers, golf courses, parks, or any turf professionals seeking to save time and reduce labor costs.
Because of its dual-function design, you can switch between an aerating rotor and a tilling rotor — giving you the flexibility to either revitalize existing turf or prepare new seedbeds. Its integrated hopper handles both seed and granular fertilizer, streamlining your workflow.
With large working widths (50"–82" depending on model), precise seed metering, and a robust build — including a heavy-duty PTO shaft and a ground-drive seed delivery system — the Green-Rite delivers consistent, professional-grade results.
Dual-Function Rotor System
Switch between an aerating rotor (for turf renovation) and a tilling rotor (for seedbed preparation) in minutes, giving you flexibility for different lawn maintenance needs.
Integrated Seed & Fertilizer Hopper
Large-capacity hopper with precise, ground-driven seed metering cups and agitator ensures even distribution of seed or granular fertilizer over the working width.
Adjustable Seed Incorporation Tools
Tickler tines follow the rotor to help incorporate seed into soil or existing turf, and a corrugated roller compacts the ground to support optimal seed germination.
Robust PTO & Safety Build
Heavy-duty shielded PTO shaft with slip-clutch safety ensures reliable power transfer, while compatibility with Cat-1 quick hitch makes mounting straightforward and secure.
Wide Coverage & Efficiency
Offered in multiple working widths (50", 58", 66", 82"), letting you match machine size to your turf area — from small lawns to large fields — reducing the number of passes required.
Precise Depth & Seed Dispersion Control
Depth control roller and seed-calibration handle allow you to fine-tune working depth and seeding rate for different soil conditions and seed types.
