GKB Deep Tine Aerator (DTA)
Deep Tine Aerator (DTA)
The Deep Tine Aerator (DTA) is a tractor-mounted machine designed to relieve compacted soil and improve turf health on sports fields and large grass areas.
- Deep soil penetration up to 40 cm
- Improves air and water movement in hard ground
- Supports stronger and deeper root growth
Description
The Deep Tine Aerator (DTA) is built to restore compacted and heavily used turf areas. Over time, repeated use of sports fields and large lawns causes soil to become hard and tightly packed. This reduces airflow, limits water penetration, and weakens grass roots.
The DTA pushes strong tines deep into the soil, opening channels that allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone. This improves drainage, supports deeper root growth, and strengthens overall turf health.
Designed for regular and long-term use, the machine operates efficiently with adjustable working depth and speed. Tines are easy to change, and a single operator can manage the machine without difficulty. It is well suited for sports grounds, golf courses, and other large turf areas.

- Adjustable working depth depending on soil condition
- Strong construction for long-term use
- Easy-to-change tine system

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this machine do?
It loosens compacted soil, allowing air and water to reach the roots for healthier grass growth.
Why is aeration necessary?
Soil becomes compacted over time due to regular use. Aeration restores airflow and improves turf condition.
Is it difficult to operate?
No. The machine is designed for simple operation and can be handled by one person.
How do I select the right model?
Choose based on required working width, desired depth, and available tractor power.
Does it require a powerful tractor?
Larger models require higher horsepower, while smaller models work with lighter tractors.
Can it operate on very hard ground?
Yes. With the correct tine selection, it performs effectively even on tough soil conditions.
