Field Wave - compost barn aerator

Aerates the Barn Without Fighting You to Pull It
A V-formation leg design cuts drag through compost so this aerator pulls easier and burns less fuel per pass, while still working full depth to feed oxygen to the microbes doing the real composting. Less horsepower demanded, more active compost, less bedding cost over the season.

Benefits

What Your Operation Gets Back

Pulls Easier, Less Fuel

A V-formation leg design cuts drag through compost, so the tractor burns less fuel getting the same job done.

Faster Compost, Less Cost

Full-depth aeration feeds oxygen to the microbes doing the real work, speeding up composting and cutting bedding costs.

Less Horsepower Demanded

Reduced drag between legs means a smaller tractor can run this aerator without straining to pull it.

The details

What makes it work

  • 01

    Easier to Pull

    Legs set in a V formation reduce drag between legs, so the aerator pulls easier and uses less fuel than a conventional cultivator in the barn.
  • 02

    Heavy Duty Build

    Legs bolt to a heavy-duty modular chassis built for the regular aeration that keeps compost bedding active, dry and comfortable for stock.
  • 03

    Innovative Modular Leg

    A modular leg, foot and point assembly, with a cast point and bevelled wear plate, lets you replace worn parts individually and keep costs down.
  • 04

    Works to 650mm Depth

    Winged feet lift and mix compost to a full 650mm, bringing lower layers up and feeding oxygen to the microbes that drive faster composting.
  • 05

    Converts to a Pasture Aerator

    Bolt on a frame to turn the barn aerator into a pasture aerator, so one investment works in the barn and out in the paddock.

Expert advice

Tips from the Rata team

  • Aim for twice-daily aeration to keep the compost breaking down properly and the bedding dry underfoot.

Customer story

Proven in the paddock

Hear from the cropping farmers who put Rata equipment to work every day.

“It does the cracking down below. It leaves all the clay down the bottom and doesn't bring anything up. I found that to be very good.”

Tim Barry, Cropping farmer, Victoria, AUField Wave owner
