Aerators
PL2501SPH Aerator
For the best combination of productivity, operator comfort, superior aeration results, variable hole density and remarkably low maintenance in its class, consider our 64 cm / 25" Hydro-Drive aerator.
The Patent Pending EZ Drop™ tine system has a one-step tine engagement lever from the handle that quickly drops and engages the tines when the lever is depressed or disengages the tines when the lever is released to pass over obstacles in the aeration path for uninterrupted aeration. It also features "in-ground" steering for unmatched maneuverability, ergonomics, ease of turning, improved production, reduced downtime and turf repair when compared to drum aerators.

Features

Variable Aeration Density (VAD™)
Creates 2-10x more holes than drum models in one pass. Eliminates double aerating and offers ability to do patch repair and seed bed prep in one pass.

Water Weight Tank
Positioned directly over tines for better aeration depth and wheel traction in drier conditions. Full tank capacity is 18 litres.

Patent Pending EZ Lift™ Rear Foot Pedal
Conveniently lifts and locks tines for transport or when reversing.

Simple, Intuitive, Hydro Drive Controls
Variable-speed drive with fingertip control for smooth forward motion, controlled turning and improved traction. Reverse (tines up) aids manoeuvring and loading.

EZ Drop™ Tine Engagement
Pressing the orange lever drops the tines into working position; releasing it stops tine action instantly. Allows uninterrupted aeration when crossing small obstacles.
