All those who work on the land know that soil structure is vitally important. Not only do you need the correct nutrients in the correct proportions but you also need soil structure that will support healthy and productive growth. It’s in the nature of the growing industry that equipment needs to be taken onto the land and this can create its own problems areas in dry, hard areas and wetter, lower-lying areas. Attending to good drainage is probably the first step in getting wet areas up to standard, but once the drainage is right, getting some structure into the soil is vital to bring the land into productive use.

The light, yet effective touch of an ATV and Terrator can help with this, and because it causes so little damage to softer areas, it can be used as often as is necessary to bring the land into good condition as quickly as possible. In hard areas, the Terrator is excellent for breaking up soil surfaces which have been compacted or capped, getting life-giving oxygen down to root level.

The Terrator features a 1.6m wide slitter and comes complete with transport wheels. The Terrator is towed to the ground where it is to be used. The unit is then flipped 180 degrees into the working position and the swivel hitch rotated 180 degrees.It is then towed across the ground until the task has been completed.. Optional ballast weights of 22.5kg (max of 5 permitted at once) are available for areas of very hard ground, to assist in blade penetration.
