The marriage of two operations into one machine saves time and fuel.

About 10 seconds after you look at AerWay's AWATS-100 aerator/seeder combination, you're tempted to smack yourself on the forehead and say: "Why didn't I think of that!"
Aerway's "Aeration and Top Dress Seeder" (ATS) features an adjustable 10-foot aerator up front with a matching 10-bushel seed box in back with 20 drop tubes spaced at 6" over a deflector plate. The constant-speed electric seeder is powered through a 12 VDC wiring harness back to the tractor. The seed-delivery system is also capable of handling a wide variety of fertilizer products or granular weed and insect control.
AerWay's AWATS-100 was designed to provide one-pass aeration and top-dress seeding with optional tools to cover seed and give good soil contact. The aeration tines run 7.5" apart on a three-inch roller that rides on permanently lubed bearings, and can be adjusted in 2.5" increments a full 10 degrees depending upon aggressiveness needed for the field conditions at hand. The machine itself is built with a welded 4" X 4" structural tubing frame.
On the rear of the machine sockets are provided for a harrow carrier or tool bar arms, and a rear level-ride drawbar is provided to pull chain harrows.
A full 10-degree range of angle for the aeration gangs gives operators flexibility in how aggressive the machine can be set. The machine also can be used as an aerator only, but for those times when applications or seeding is needed, it's a one-pass operation.
