Why Use Browns Agricultural’s Grassmaster Harrows & Slitmaster Aerators?

As an invaluable resource for livestock farmers, maintaining lush, low-cost grasslands for grazing and feeding is crucial. When soil becomes overly compacted, it severely limits root growth and the plant's ability to absorb essential nutrients and water. Furthermore, compacted soil adversely affects proper water drainage and storage within the soil, which can be even more detrimental than the direct effects on plant roots.

With improper drainage, vital oxygen and nutrients cannot permeate the soil. To sustain healthy, productive grasslands, livestock farmers need to monitor and manage soil compaction through crop rotation, controlled grazing, and aeration practices. Doing so will enable robust root systems, optimal water flow, and the uptake of nutrients that grass truly needs to thrive.

The Best Harrows And Grassland Aerators

This is where Browns Agricultural Machinery’s harrows and grassland aerators come in. Here is a look at some of the equipment we offer:

Grassmaster Harrow

The Browns Grassmaster is an effective tool for revitalising existing pastures. As the harrow is pulled across the grass, its tines remove dead vegetation and aerate the soil, stimulating fresh growth. The process helps prevent problematic thatch and moss accumulation while evenly distributing manure and breaking up molehills.

When used before overseeding, harrows prepare ideal seedbed conditions for establishing new grass. You can also pair the Grassmaster with an air seeder to sow seed directly into the freshly cultivated soil. With regular harrowing, livestock farmers can breathe new life into tired pastures, improving health and productivity season after season.

Slitmaster Grassland Aerators

• Stiltmaster Rigid- Our Slitmaster Grassland Aerator is essential for livestock farmers seeking to improve their pasture quality. This heavy-duty aerator punctures the soil with rigid tines, creating channels that allow air, water and nutrients to infiltrate compacted ground. The process revitalises grass by reducing thatch buildup and stimulating more robust root growth.
  
  For optimal results, the Slitmaster can be paired with a roller to cleanly firm the soil after aeration or a harrow attachment to remove dead vegetation while slitting actively. By alleviating subsurface compaction, the Slitmaster helps farmers cultivate healthier, more productive grasslands for grazing livestock and harvesting feed.
  
  

• Slitmaster - Hydraulically Folding- Our Slitmaster Grassland Aerator with a hydraulic folding frame is the ultimate pasture rejuvenation tool. This heavy-duty aerator punctures compacted soil with rigid tines, creating channels for air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots.
  
  The folding frame allows versatile front, mid or rear tractor mounting, enabling use with muck spreaders and other towed equipment. With regular use, livestock producers can rebuild soil ecology, improve drainage and cultivate healthier, more vigorous forage stands for grazing and feed production.
