The Billy Goat AE1300HEU hydro aerator combines true 76cm (30") wide aeration with a speed up to 6.9km/h (4.3mph) to complete a 1,600 square metre area in as little as minutes! That is 59 per cent quicker than a 66cm (26" drum). Other benefits are no more lifting on turns, aerate in reverse, trim and edges with ease and significantly improve hole quantity and quality when compared to a drum aerator. This machine is powered by a Honda GX390 390cc engine.
The AE1300HEU features variable aeration density (VAD™) and creates 2-10 times more holes than drum models in one pass (8-48 holes per square foot.) This eliminates double or triple aerating with drum aerators that have fixed hole patterns as low as 4 per square foot and saves significant time. VAD also provides the ability to do patch repair and seed bed prep in one pass by simply slowing down over bare spots.
FLEXTECH™ arms act independently and are durable and forgiving for unmatched reliability. The arm's reciprocating action drives plug depths up to two times that of drums. Call backs and/or rework regardless of soil conditions are significantly reduced. "In-Ground Turning" offers unrivaled manoeuverability, fatigue-free operation and improved production plus reduces downtime and turf repair when compared to drum aerators. With only eight tines and four bolts, tine service on this unit takes 10 per cent of the time needed to service 40+, 2-bolt drum units.
The AE1300HEU hydro aerator delivers one pass aeration, using one machine and a one man crew, for a one time aeration with no call backs. That's "One & Done Aeration" that sets a whole new standard in aeration productivity!
