Lawn Aerators & Pluggers

Driven by a premium Weibang four-stroke engine, the Intrepid 51 ARP is equipped with a considerable 51cm (20") solid tined working head designed to work at a depth of 70mm, to penetrate the soil down to the grass root. The 196cc air-cooled engine rates at 4.1kW and employs OHV technology for reduced fuel costs.

Ideally suited to a professional gardener needing to tackle drainage and soil compaction problems, the 70mm slits created by the heavy-duty aeration blades will allow surface moisture to soak into the turf, enabling improved air and vital nutrients to the root system. The clutch allows the blades to be disengaged while the engine keeps running, and the single speed, self-propelled machine utilises high torque belt and chain gearing to cut through the hardest of soil types.

The Weibang Intrepid 51 ARP features a cassette with six 10mm diemeter solid tine sets. It can cover large areas up to 1700m²/h for high productivity on sports pitches, formal lawns, parks and more. The aerator also features three removable bob weights for additional ground pressure in tougher soil. At 2 x 16kg and 1 x 25kg, the bob weights offer 52kg of extra weight to ensure full penetration.

Suitable for contractors, the Weibang Intrepid 51 ARP solid tine lawn aerator is backed by a one year commercial warranty. Optional hollow tines are available.

Experience industry's softest tine engagement and exclusive Lift-n-Lock™ tine disengagement for best in class comfort, ease of turning and productivity withe the Billy Goat AE401H professional aerator.

Powered by a 122cc Honda engine, the Billy Goat AE401H features a 19" working width. The 24 coring tines, with 4.5" x 7" tine pattern, measure .625" x 2.5". The tine stars are a patented design allowing individual replacement as opposed to the entire shaft. The aerator alleviates soil compaction by punching a core plug into the soil promoting deeper root growth, as well as improved air, water and nutrient flow to the turf. It is one of the best ways to enjoy a thick, healthy, drought-resistant lawn.

The Billy Goat AE401H core aerator totally eliminates the conventional and cumbersome centre wheel and centre drum designs found on other machines, which can be prone to wear, vibration and damage. The outboard drive wheels on Billy Goat's AE401H aerator also eliminate centre wheel slip and abuse from ramp loading with tines engaged.

In addition, the AE401H eliminates bulky steel weights in favour of a simple to use water weight positioned directly over the tines for improved aeration depth.

Tilt up serviceability, removable tine stars and Fold-n-Go handles and easy adjust drive chains combine to make service and transportation easy and convenient. The thick 'O'-ring style chain helps long life and better lubrication and stands up to pressure washing. Pillow block bearings with grease nipples reduce wear and downtime for maintenance.

This compact 18" aerator from Billy Goat's Plugr® range is ideal for smaller property aeration or rentals and features reciprocating cam tines that propel the unit forward and drive cores up to 2.75" deep.

Petrol-powered by a reliable 122cc Honda engine, the Plugr PL1801H aerator has a 46cm (18") working width. The unit can aerate up to 22,000 square feet per hour, is simple to operate for homeowners, easy to steer without lifting and requires no add-on weights.

The easy folding handle allows for compact transport and storage. Only four tines and no chains along with a no-tool removable cover make for easy maintenance. Updated wheel bearings prolong the life of the wheels.

For the best combination of productivity, operator comfort, superior aeration results, variable hole density and remarkably low maintenance, look no further than the PL2501SPV 25" / 64cm hydrostatic drive aerator. The unit can aerate at an impressive rate of up to 4,000 square metres per hour.

Best in class controls offer the same intuitive, variable speed fingertip hydro-drive innovation as found on the reliable Billy Goat hydro-drive brush cutter, overseeder and sod cutter.

The EZ Lift n Drop™ tine system has a one-step tine engagement lever from the handle that quickly engages the six tines when the lever is depressed or disengages 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.

This Billy Goat Plugr PL2501SPV self-propelled aerator is powered by a 203cc Vanguard® engine.

The Plugr PL2501SPH self-propelled hydro-drive aerator from Billy Goat delivers an impressive 4,000 square metres of aeration per hour at an impressive rate of 2.62mph or 3.846 feet per second. The machine is equipped with six reciprocating cam-driven tines which punch core depths to 2.75", even in hard soil.

The tines propel the unit forward with variable three-speed control from 2.5 - 3mph, which allows for a denser hole pattern at a slower speed where needed, ideal for flatter conditions.  The proprietary EZ Drop™ tine system has a one-step tine engagement lever from the handle that permits the operator to pass over obstacles in the aeration path for uninterrupted aeration.

The aerator is powered by a 163cc Honda GX160 engine and is easy to manoeuvre without lifting, requires no add on weights, has no chains and is simple to service.

A built-in quick release receiver hitch offers simple conversion to a ride-behind unit when adding an optional chariot. This useful accessory reduces operator fatigue and increases productivity.

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!
