Windrows can be formed from piles of nearly any size. Alleyways are not required when using the Brown aerator, so there is a great reduction in space requirements. The aerator’s reverse rotation works the material from the bottom up and to the side, assuring complete mixing and agitation. LOW MAINTENANCE: the aerator is a simple design, the principle as a material mover has been proven with over 30 years experience in practical application. The aerator is hydraulically driven and equipped with patented wearplates or paddles, both of which are easily replaced.
