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.
