Shakaerator 3000
The latest incarnation of the classic Shakaerator design, the Shakaerator 3000 features a 3.0m working width and delivers outstanding deep soil conditioning.
Unique vibration action
Unlike conventional subsoilers, the Shakaerator range comes with a patented vibration unit which reduces draught, improves fuel efficiency and lowers hp requirements.
Overview
A high-performance deep-soil conditioner with a proven track record for easing compaction, enhancing drainage and promoting perfect conditions for crop growth.
The Shakaerator’s innovative leg design not only reduces draught and lowers fuel consumption, but also heaves and aerates without mixing topsoil and subsoil, protecting the fertile top layer and aiding crop growth.
Designed for working in maize stubble and ploughed fields where its vibration action breaks up the soil, the machine ensures a peak performance on tractors of just 125hp and above.
