SCH HGA Aerator Attachment (HGA)

SCH HGA Aerator Attachment: Heavy-Duty Care for Healthier Turf

Compacted ground can restrict the movement of air and water through the soil. Over time, this can affect drainage and make it harder for grass roots to thrive.

The SCH HGA Heavy-Duty Aerator Attachment provides a practical solution. Designed for effective turf maintenance, it breaks through the compacted surface layer of grassed areas.

This improves airflow around the root zone and allows water to drain more freely. The HGA attachment is particularly useful for autumn maintenance work, when aeration can help prepare turf for the months ahead.

Break Through Compacted Ground

Foot traffic and regular use of garden machinery can gradually compact the upper layer of soil. This dense surface is sometimes known as a surface pan.

The SCH HGA is designed to penetrate this compacted layer. Its tines create openings in the ground as the attachment travels across the turf. These openings allow more air to reach the root zone. Better access to air can support stronger roots and help grass remain resilient.

Aeration also creates pathways for water to move through the soil. This can improve drainage and reduce the risk of water remaining on the surface.

Add Ballast for Tougher Conditions

Hard ground can make effective tine penetration more difficult. SCH has therefore equipped the HGA with a useful ballast system. Two 25-litre ballast containers are supplied with the attachment. These can be filled when extra downward pressure is required.

With ballast added, the HGA can reach a total weight of 90 kg. This additional weight helps drive the tines into firmer surfaces.

The ballast system gives you the flexibility to adapt the aerator attachment to changing ground conditions. When extra weight is unnecessary, the HGA weighs just 18 kg unballasted.

Cover Turf Efficiently

With a working width of 102 cm, or 40 inches, the SCH HGA covers a generous area with each pass. This makes it suitable for maintaining larger lawns and other grassed spaces. Its wide coverage helps you complete routine aeration efficiently.

Integrated transport wheels add further convenience. They allow the attachment to move more easily between its storage area and the turf requiring treatment.

Designed for the SCH Heavy-Duty Carrier Frame

The SCH HGA aerator is an attachment rather than a standalone machine. It is designed exclusively for the SCH HGF 102 cm (40-inch) Heavy-Duty Carrier Frame.

The HGF carrier frame provides a common platform for a range of specialist SCH turf care attachments. This gives users the flexibility to carry out different maintenance jobs with one adaptable system. Once fitted to the carrier, the HGA attachment adds effective aeration to your grass care programme. You can use it to tackle surface compaction while encouraging better drainage and airflow.

Please note that the required SCH HGF Heavy-Duty Carrier Frame is not included with this attachment. It is available to purchase separately.

Built for Dependable Turf Maintenance

SCH is based in Suffolk and manufactures robust equipment for demanding outdoor work. Its machinery combines practical design with durable construction.

The SCH HGA attachment follows this approach. From its heavy-duty aerating action to its adjustable ballast, each feature supports effective turf maintenance.

Improve Your Turf with the SCH HGA Aerator Attachment

Regular aeration can help create better conditions beneath the surface of your lawn. By relieving compaction, you can improve drainage and encourage more air to reach the roots.

The SCH HGA Heavy-Duty Aerator Attachment makes this important task straightforward. Its 102 cm working width helps cover ground efficiently, while the supplied ballast containers assist on harder surfaces.
