Dabro slitter aerator

[TexelBen]

Recently bought this second hand, seems to be doing a good job.
Replaced some bolts that were worn/loose holding the blades on, But still lost a blade somewhere
I've googled but can't find where to buy new blades, anyone got any ideas?

Measure the hole centres and get trawling kramp till you find one that matches.
They do look pretty worn though

Had a pretty good search around, most similar are M12 holes, mine are M16

I have one in the nettles. Converted it to 3pt. I don't think the blades were ever very long when compared to ag pasture machines.

That's right. They are only really a sports field aerator. Blades resemble oversized combine sections

I've done 2 out of 3 similar fields, it seems to have helped water soak in better, I suppose it friends how deep compaction is?
I'd like a big Richie one, but this was a lot, lot cheaper
