The GKB DTA HS: High-Speed Deep Tine Aeration

Built to rival the fastest deep tine aerators on the market, the GKB Deep Tine Aerator High Speed combines faster operating speeds with the ability to adjust how aggressively you aerate. The DTA HS has a two-speed gearbox, allowing operators to work across different applications, speeds, and depths. The lightweight, direct-drive design allows the DTA160HS to be pulled behind a tractor as small as 35 HP.

The Deep Tine High Speed’s adjustable tine pitch controls the amount of heave below the surface. A straighter tine path means cleaner holes with less disruption, while increasing the pitch creates more underground lifting to fracture compacted soil.

One tine holder will accommodate multiple options, including needle tines, ½-inch and ¾-inch solid tines; and ½-inch and ¾-inch coring tines. Hole spacing can be tightened as desired by either slowing down or speeding up the machine’s gear box.

Adjustable front and rear rollers allow more control over working depth, while the direct-drive system provides a more reliable and robust design with fewer moving/wearable parts. Replacement parts are stocked in the U.S., and the DTA HS accepts interchangeable aftermarket tines.
