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.
