Bulk Aerator FAQ
How often should I use a bulk aerator on my lawn?
For optimal results, we recommend using a bulk aerator twice per year - once in spring and again in fall. Heavy traffic areas may require more frequent aeration, up to 3-4 times annually. The bulk aerator's efficient design makes this frequent use practical even for large properties.
What maintenance does a bulk aerator require?
Bulk aerators require minimal maintenance. After each use, clean soil from tines and moving parts. Lubricate all grease points every 25 hours of operation. Inspect tines regularly for wear and replace when they become rounded or lose more than 1/3 of their original length. Our bulk aerator features replaceable tine cartridges for easy maintenance.
Can a bulk aerator handle rocky or uneven terrain?
Yes, our bulk aerator is specifically designed for challenging conditions. The reinforced frame and shock-absorbing tine mounting system allow it to work effectively on uneven ground. For extremely rocky areas, we recommend first removing large stones and gradually increasing aeration depth during multiple passes.
