AE400 ser Core Aerator
The Billy Goat AE400 ser Aerator delivers a 19-inch aeration width with a streamlined design that replaces the cumbersome center-wheel and drum systems found on traditional models, eliminating the components most prone to wear, vibration, and damage. By utilizing outboard drive wheels, the unit prevents center wheel slip and protects the tines from damage during ramp loading. In place of bulky steel weights, it features a user-friendly fill/drain water-weight system (adding 50 lbs. when full) positioned directly over the tines to ensure maximum penetration depth. For the operator, the industry-leading soft tine engagement and exclusive Lift n Lock™ system offer unmatched comfort and productivity, while Fold-n-Go™ handles and tilt-up serviceability ensure that transport and maintenance are as reliable as the machine itself.
