Aerators
AE1300HEU Aerator
This machine combines true 76 cm / 30” wide aeration and speed up to 6,9 km/h. That is 59% faster than a 66 cm / 26” drum. Plus no more tine lifting during turning, capable to aerate in reverse, do trim and edges with ease and significantly improve hole quantity and quality.
Variable Aeration Density (VAD™) from 8 to 48 holes per square metre in one pass and variable hydrostatic drive for aeration in both forward and reverse.
The FLEXTECH™ arms make the core depths up to 2x that of drums. The In-Ground Turning feature provides unmatched manoeuverability, ergonomics, ease of turning, improved production, reduced downtime and turf repair when compared to drum aerators.

Features

Variable Aeration Density (VAD™)
Generates 8–48 holes per square metre, far higher density than drum models, and lets the operator set the spacing without double aerating. Ideal for patch repair, overseeding prep, or high-density aeration.

FLEXTECH™ Arms
Independently acting arms are durable and forgiving for unmatched reliability. Reciprocating action drives core depths up to 2x that of drums. Reduces call backs and / or rework regardless of soil condition.

Fast Tine Service
With only 8 tines and 4 bolts, servicing takes roughly 10% of the time required for a drum aerator, which typically uses 40+ tines and 2 bolts per tine.

38 cm Tyres
Large 15” / 38 cm tyres and an 89 cm wheelbase provide stability and control on slopes up to 20°, improving grip during both forward and reverse aeration.
