Billy Goat Industries’ recently introduced AE1300H hydrostatic drive aerator features variable aeration density (VAD), in-ground turning and Flextech arms.
The 30-in. wide aerator reaches up to 4.3 mph, completes quarter acre aerations in as little as 15 minutes and creates two to 10 times more holes than drum models in a single pass, the company said.
Its Flextech arms give it the ability to provide flexible limb action and drive plug depths up to two times that of drums, even in dry soil.
The aerator’s in-ground steering ensures that operators do not have to lift to make turns, avoiding turf repair and strain on the operator. Its hydro drive controls also allow feathering the speed in both forward and reverse.
The AE1300H is powered by a 390 cc Honda engine, an Eaton Motor, a Hydro-Gear drive and pump, and two #50 chains.
