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

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

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.

AE Fast Tine Service

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.

AE Tyres

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.

Inground turning

In-Ground Turning

Allows tight, efficient turning without lifting the tines. Enhances manoeuvrability, productivity, and operator comfort while limiting turf disturbance.

AE Reverse Aeration

Reverse Aeration

The AE1300HEU allows aeration in reverse to maximise coverage without having to repositioning the machine.
