Water Ballast Tank for Added Weight
Fill the tank with water to increase downward pressure for more effective aeration performance. -

Improves soil condition for healthier turf and stronger root development. -
Increases Water Filtration
Allows water to penetrate deeper into the soil instead of running off the surface. -

Please note about lift gate delivery: You must select the lift gate option if you can’t unload the crate off the freight truck. You will not have to pay the charge if you can ship to a business and you can unload the crate off the back of the freight truck. Shipping to a business is your best choice if possible saving you the fee. These deliveries are “curb-side” only, please read the details about curb-side, lift-gate and residential freight deliveries.
