Product Description














Pain Point: Soil Compaction Reduces Lawn Health

Problem:Residential lawns and compact turf areas often suffer from soil compaction caused by foot traffic, mowing equipment, and seasonal weather changes. Compacted soil restricts airflow, water penetration, and nutrient absorption to grass root systems.

Solution:The Jade Equipment LA-418 18 inch tow behind lawn aerator creates core holes (plugs) that relieve soil compaction and restore healthy turf growth conditions.

Technical Comparison (≥2 Groups)

FeatureSpike Aerator (Less Effective)**Core Aerator (LA-418)**
Soil Compaction Relief❌ May worsen compaction around holes✅ Removes soil cores to relieve compaction
Root Zone Aeration❌ Limited depth penetration✅ Up to 90mm (3.54") deep core removal
Water Infiltration❌ Surface runoff common✅ Improves water penetration to root zone
Turf Health Improvement❌ Minimal long-term benefit✅ Promotes deeper root growth and denser turf

Quantified Conclusion

Result: Proper core aeration with LA-418 can improve water infiltration by up to 30% and promote deeper root systems (2-3x deeper) within 4-6 weeks after aeration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you buy — answered by our product team.

Can the LA-418 be towed by an ATV?

A: Yes. The LA-418 is specifically designed for ATV towing. Its compact 410mm working width and lightweight design make it easy to maneuver behind standard ATVs and lawn tractors. The tow bar is adjustable for different hitch heights.

What is the difference between core aeration (LA-418) and spike aeration?

A: Core aeration removes soil plugs (cores) from the lawn, which effectively relieves soil compaction. Spike aeration only pokes holes without removing soil, which can actually worsen compaction around the hole edges. For residential lawns with compacted soil, core aeration (like the LA-418) is strongly recommended.

How often should I aerate my residential lawn?

A: For most residential lawns, aeration is recommended once or twice per year, typically in the spring or fall when grass is actively growing. High-traffic lawns (near walkways, play areas) may benefit from more frequent aeration.

What is the maximum operating slope for the LA-418?

A: The LA-418 is designed for operation on slopes up to 20°. For steeper slopes, we recommend using a walk-behind aerator or consulting with our technical team for custom solutions.

Does Jade Equipment offer OEM manufacturing for the LA-418?

A: Yes. We provide full OEM services including private label branding, custom colors, packaging customization, and engine options. Minimum order quantity starts at 50 pcs for OEM orders.

How deep can the LA-418 penetrate the soil?

A: The LA-418 can penetrate soil up to 90mm (3.54 inches) deep, depending on soil conditions and added weight. The core tines remove soil plugs to effectively relieve compaction in the root zone.

What type of maintenance does the LA-418 require?

A: Regular maintenance includes: cleaning tines after each use, checking belt tension, lubricating moving parts (grease fittings on wheels and tine wheels), and inspecting engine oil level. A detailed maintenance schedule is provided in the user manual.
