Halo - AerWay
HALO AerWay combines Salford’s industry leading AerWay aerators with Salford’s high clearance independent blade mounts, and finishing systems for the best in soil aeration and residue management. This unique machine is designed to run up to 8 inches deep with AerWay’s unique forged Shattertine. The Shattertine’s cut through residue running to a row, spaced 10 inches apart. The tine itself is shaped to bite into the soil and fracture the ground, improving air and moisture storage capacity. The gang angle settings allow the operator to quickly increase or decrease how aggressive the operation is.
The HALO AerWay’s wavy coulter blades run on either side of the tines, further sizing residue and beginning to close the pockets left by the Shattertines. The coulter angle is also adjustable, allowing for straight residue cutting or more aggressive leveling power. The HALO AerWay is followed by double 14 inch rollers controlled by a single point hydraulic pressure system. The new level linkage helps follows ground contours and has a tighter design with fewer parts for easy maintenance and narrow transport.
HALO AERWAY MODEL OVERVIEW
FRONT GANG OF 8 INCH SHATTERTINES, 4 PER ROW
The HALO AerWay’s front gang carries 8 in. forged Shattertines in rows of 4. The tines penetrate deep into the ground improving soil’s air and moisture storage capacity and relieving soil compaction.
Front Row of AerWay Shatter Tines:
- 8 inch forged ag tines, 4 tines per row
- 10 inches between rows
- 3 gang angle settings
REAR ROW OF 22 INCH WAVY COULTERS
The HALO AerWay’s rear row of 22 inch, 13 wave coulters size residue and help to level and close the pockets created by the Shattertines. The combination of tines and blades creates net 5 inch spacing through the machine.
Rear Row of Blades:
- 22” wavy coulters
- 5mm 3 gang angle setting
SHATTERTINE AND COULTER ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
HALO AerWay has 3 adjustments for tine gang angle and 3 adjustments for the blade angle. To adjust the angles, move the rear pin back to the desired position, move the frame back against the pin. Install the forward pin ahead of the frame to keep the frame in place.
5/8 INCH STEEL COULTER ARM WITH RUBBER COMPRESSION MOUNT
HALO blade mounts are 5/8 inch AR400 steel adds to the toughness and abrasion resistance of the HALO.
The blade and arm are on a rubber torsion mount which give the blade up to 7.5 inches of vertical travel for maximum obstacle protection.
5 BOLT HUB
HALO’s proprietary five bolt hub is maintenance free, equipped with a double tapered roller bearing and protected by a multi-lip seal designed specifically for Salford.
The hub can be rebuilt using a special tool for installing the seal.
DOUBLE 14 INCH ROLLER
HALO AerWay comes with a double 14 roller on a new level linkage finishing system. The heavy duty rollers are designed to size soil clods, condition residue and level the field surface.
Roller pressure is set by a single point hydraulic valve and is engineered for continuous even operating pressure.
ROLLER BEARINGS AND LEVEL LINKAGE
The double 14 inch rollers are carried by 1 1/2” bearings. The linkage is a simple, maintenance free system with bushings and hardened pins.
HALO FRAME OVERVIEW
NARROW TRANSPORT
HALO uses a forward folding design for narrow transport making it safer and easier to travel, even on narrow, populated roads.
600/50R22.5 tires
600/50R22.5 tires provide maximum floatation in the field and make for safe transport on the way to the field and between farms.
SINGLE POINT HYDRAULIC CONTROLS
HALO uses single point depth control for the machines operating depth, making for fast, easy adjustments to the tillage action.
The rear finishing system also uses single point hydraulic control to regulate down pressure. This allows operators to quickly adapt to field conditions.
CONSTANT FLOW HYDRAULIC WING DOWN PRESSURE
HALO’s wings can be run with active down pressure. This keeps the machine operating level from side to side and ensures wings stay engaged in tough conditions.
FORE/AFT HYDRAULIC ADJUSTMENTS WITH NEUTRAL OPERATION
HALO’s fore/aft pitch can be adjusted from the cab and set to float or neutral during operation. HALO’s ability to be ran in neutral allows the machine to run level in a greater variety of field conditions for a superior finish.
The fore/aft hydraulic system is protected by a hydraulic accumulator while running in neutral.
MAIN FRAME PITCH INDICATOR
HALO’s mainframe has large pitch indicator that can be easily seen from the cab.
HEAVY FRAME FOR MULTIPLE GROUND ENGAGING OPTIONS
HALO’s rectangular main frame is 6 inch by 6 inch tubular steel, 3/8 inch thick. All frame members are capped for maximum durability and longevity. The front and rear mainframe bars are designed to carry multiple different tillage modules.
HALO’s tongue is 6 inch by 8 inch on 2 piece frame models, and 6 inch by 10 inch on 3 piece frame models.
COLOUR CODED OPERATOR CONVINCE CENTER
Salford implements feature a color coded operator’s convince center that manages and protects the hydraulic hoses and lighting connection. The operator’s manual is also housed here in a weather proof container.
Hydraulic hose grips are color coded to make for fast, easy connection to the tractor

HALO’s tongue is 6 inch by 8 inch on 2-piece frame models, and 6 inch by 10 inch on 3-piece frame models.
TONGUE JACK
HALO 2 piece frames use an 8,000 lb manual jack. HALO 3 piece frame models use a hydraulic jack with a manual ball value.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
High Speed and Highly Durable
Excellent obstacle protection
HALO AerWay’s front gang of Shattertines is protected by a C-Flex hanger.
The second row of individually mounted blades have rubber torsion suspension that are capable of up to 7.5 inches of vertical deflection for obstacle protection in rough and rocky conditions.
Each blade faces rocks and obstacles on their own which lessens the load put on the HALO AerWay frame.
Superior Leveling
HALO uses hydraulic wing down pressure with an accumulator to ensure level operation at high speeds.
HALO’s 13 wave blades help level the pockets left by the Shattertines and condition residue.
Easy to operate
The HALO AerWay is simple to set! Single point depth control, hydraulic fore/aft leveling and a single point control for setting pressure on the finishing tool.
The operator convenience station keeps implement connections protected, organized and at the operator’s finger tips. The color coded hose grips take out the guess work when connecting Salford implements to the tractor.
The HALO’s narrow forward fold design makes the machine safe and easy to transport.
Low maintenance design
The heavy duty trunnion bearings on the Shattertine gang are maintenance free.
Durable, sealed blade hubs make for much less maintenance on the HALO. The blades hubs can be rebuilt to save cost on seasonal maintenance.
The HALO has three easily accessible grease points, the main frame hinges, axles and roller frames.
