Pasture and Hay
AerWay is your single most important
pasture and hay implement
Simplicity, convenience, and versatility make AerWay the preferred aeration tool for thousands of pasture and hay producers.
Here are some practical ways to make AerWay your most important tool for pasture and hay production.
AerWay gives you unmatched versatility
AerWay implements include adjustable models that give you control of the degree of aggression. You can aerate, overseed, or renovate with the same AerWay unit. Adjustment takes just seconds. A straight (0o) setting gives you aeration treatment with minimal disruption.
The maximum offset (10o) setting puts you in the renovation business. Settings in-between give you maximum control for the results you want.
When to use the AerWay
The AerWay should be used whenever compaction in the top 8" to 10" of the soil is identified as a barrier to achieving optimum pasture growth or hay production. AerWay is also the ideal preparation tool for overseeding pastures and incorporating fertilizer.
Your local agronomist or extension agent should be able to assist you with methods to measure compaction and advise on the timing of AerWay usage.
The easiest way to improve soil conditions
for pasture and hay production.
AerWay Quick-Adjust models allow complete control of the typet
of soil treatment you want, from simple aeration,
to overseeding, to renovation.
Overseeding and renovating
AerWay is the ideal implement for soil preparation for overseeding or renovating.
- For best results, set the unit to 7 1/2o) or 10o of offset, followed with a drag harrow.
- Seeding can be done either beforehand, or broadcast along with the AerWay pass. The harrow ensures good seed-to-soil contact, and helps level the ground disturbed by AerWay Shattertines.
- Always aerate when the soil is dry enough for normal tillage. Do not try to aerate waterlogged soils.
- Aerate perpendicular to the normal traffic patterns.
- Be sure to have enough ballast weight to bury the tines to the hub.
When to expect results
The aeration process directly affects root development both through loosening the soil and increased availability of air, water, and fertilizer. Results of a better, stronger root system will typically appear in subsequent year's production, however most AerWay owners report noticeable results within a few months.
Regular aeration keeps your fields healthy and productive.
The world's best cattlemen and hay producers use AerWay
AerWay owners say…
"I would like to tell the world what an AerWay can do. We cover about 2000 acres with ours. Over the 15 years I've owned the ranch I have spent close to $500,000 on dikes, ponds, and terracing to protect the land from runoff. If I had known what AerWay does I could have saved most of the money. Anyone with a runoff erosion problem should buy an AerWay."

Capitol Land & Livestock use their three 30 foot AerWays and Challengers to maximize their land potential.
David Lehmann, General Manager of Outside Operations states: ""In our operation, it is critical to get winter grazing planted on time. We use our AerWay ahead of no-till drills. The AerWay loosens compacted soils to allow good seed germination of wheat, oats, and ryeqrass.
In Spring, we use them to loosen compacted soils and to let fertilizer into the root system. Our AerWay have been an essential part of our grazing operation for the past six years."
