SCH HGA Aerator Attachment

Relieve Compaction and Improve Turf Health with the SCH HGA Aerator Attachment

Healthy grass needs more than regular mowing and feeding. Air and water must also move freely through the soil to reach the roots. Where ground becomes compacted, these essentials can struggle to penetrate the surface.

The SCH HGA Aerator Attachment provides an effective way to relieve this compaction. Designed for the SCH Heavy-Duty Carrier Frame, it penetrates the surface pan to improve drainage and airflow. It is particularly useful for autumn maintenance and works across a generous 40-inch width.

Support Stronger Grass from Below

Regular footfall and machinery can compress soil over time. This creates a firm surface layer that restricts the movement of water and air. The HGA tackles this problem by driving its tines into the ground as it passes across the lawn. The resulting openings help air reach the root zone and provide channels for water to enter the soil. This creates better growing conditions beneath the surface and can help grass develop stronger, more resilient roots. Improved drainage can also reduce the likelihood of water sitting on compacted areas.

Extra Ballast for Firmer Ground

Ground conditions can vary considerably throughout the year, so you can increase the HGA attachment’s weight when required. It comes with two 25-litre ballast containers, which can be filled to provide greater downward pressure. This extra force helps the tines penetrate harder surfaces more effectively. When fully ballasted, the attachment reaches a total weight of 90 kg, compared with an unballasted weight of just 18 kg. You can therefore adjust the setup to suit the condition of the turf rather than working with a fixed weight.

Efficient Coverage and Easier Transport

The SCH HGA aerator has a working width of 40 inches (1,020 mm). This allows it to aerate a substantial strip of turf during each pass, making it well suited to larger lawns and grassed areas. Integrated transport wheels make the attachment easier to handle away from the working area. They provide a convenient way to move the aerator between the lawn and its storage location without the tines engaging with the ground.

Expand the SCH Heavy-Duty Grass Care System

Rather than operating as an independent machine, the HGA aerator fits exclusively to the SCH HGF 40-Inch Heavy-Duty Carrier Frame. This carrier acts as the foundation for several specialist SCH attachments, allowing one system to perform a range of turf maintenance jobs. Adding the HGA gives you the ability to relieve surface compaction and improve soil conditions without investing in another dedicated machine.

Please note that the HGF Carrier Frame is essential for operation but is not supplied with the aerator attachment. It must be purchased separately if you do not already own one.

Durable Equipment from a British Manufacturer

Based in Suffolk, SCH produces robust machinery designed for reliable service over many years. Its equipment focuses on practical engineering and dependable construction for demanding outdoor maintenance. The HGA aerator continues this approach with its heavy-duty aerating action, adaptable ballast system, and convenient transport wheels. Combined with the wider SCH grass care range, it provides a practical solution for maintaining healthy turf throughout the seasons.

Give Compacted Turf Room to Breathe

Compaction can prevent water and air from reaching the areas where grass needs them most. The SCH HGA Aerator Attachment helps restore these pathways by opening the surface and improving access to the root zone. Its 40-inch working width provides efficient coverage, while adjustable ballast helps tackle firmer ground when greater penetration is needed.
