PLUGR® PL1800 ser Reciprocating Aerator
The 18” PLUGR is ideal for smaller property aeration or rentals. No add-on weights are required and reciprocating cam-driven tines propel the unit forward and drive cores up to 2.75” deep even in hard soil conditions, offering higher quality aeration than traditional drums. The unit can do up to 22,000 sq.ft. per hour, is simple to operate for homeowners, easy to steer without lifting and requires no add-on weights. The new ergonomic handle is ISO mounted for reduced vibration and folds allowing for compact transportation and storage. Only 4 tines and no chains along with a no-tool removable cover makes for easy maintenance. Pictured: PL1803V
