Aerators
PL1801H Aerator
The Billy Goat PL1801H is a compact 46 cm aerator built for small properties and rental fleets. Its reciprocating cam tines propel the unit forward and pull consistent cores up to 7 cm deep, without the need for add-on weights. The design steers easily without lifting, and the four-tine setup with no chains keeps maintenance simple. A no-tool removable cover and Fold-n-Go™ handles make servicing and storage straightforward. Powered by a reliable Honda engine, the PL1801H is an easy-to-use, low-maintenance solution.
