AE401H Aerator

Name: AE401H Aerator
SKU: AE401H
Availability: InStock

The Billy Goat AE401H is a 48 cm mechanical aerator engineered to avoid the vibration, wear, and awkward drum-filling associated with traditional centre-drum machines. Its outboard drive wheels prevent centre wheel slip and eliminate tine damage when loading ramps, while the 23-litre water tank sits directly above the tines for consistent coring depth. Operators benefit from smooth tine engagement and the Lift N Lock™ mechanism, which raises the tines simply by lifting the handle. Fold-n-Go™ handles and tilt-up access make transport and routine servicing quick and easy.
