Rata Compost Barn Aerator 7 Leg

Healthier bedding. Healthier cows. Greater confidence.

The Rata Compost Barn Aerator has been purpose-built to help dairy farmers maintain healthier, more comfortable compost bedding while reducing labour and improving barn performance. Designed and manufactured in New Zealand, this heavy-duty implement efficiently aerates bedding material, introducing oxygen into the compost pack to encourage microbial activity, improve moisture management, and create an optimal environment for cow comfort.

Regular aeration is essential for maintaining an active compost pack. The Rata Compost Barn Aerator lifts, fractures and mixes the bedding profile, helping to reduce compaction while promoting faster drying and more consistent decomposition. The result is a softer, drier bedding surface that supports improved animal welfare and contributes to cleaner, healthier cows.

Built to withstand the demanding conditions of modern dairy farming, the Rata Compost Barn Aerator features a robust frame, heavy-duty tines and durable construction that delivers reliable performance season after season. Designed for simple operation and low maintenance, it enables farmers to cover large compost barn areas quickly and efficiently, helping reduce operating costs while improving overall barn management.
