      No-Tool Flip-Up Hoods

      For best in class access to inside of machine plus improved belt service access.

      Water Weight Tank

      Positioned directly over tines for better aeration depth and wheel traction in drier conditions. Full tank capacity is 40 pounds.

      In-Ground Turning

      Provides unmatched maneuverability, ergonomics, ease of turning, improved production, reduced downtime and turf repair when compared to drum aerators.

      Proprietary EZ Lift™ Rear Foot Pedal

      Conveniently lifts and locks tines for transport or when reversing.

      Proprietary EZ Lift n Drop™ Tine Engage & Disengage

      When depressed, the orange lever releases the tines from the lifted locked position and engages the tining action. When released the tining action stops and the tines drag across obstacles in the aeration path for uninterrupted aeration and increased productivity.

      Variable Aeration Density (VAD™)

      Creates 2-10x more holes than drum models in one pass. Eliminates double aerating and offers ability to do patch repair and seed bed prep in one pass. Patent Pending.

      Six (6) Machine Heat-Treated Hardened Thin Wall Tines

      Simple, durable screw-in design makes service fast. In/out reciprocating tine motion produces less compaction on the inner surface of the hole compared to spoon designs.

      Testimonials

      "After two seasons of renting aerators from Home Depot, I saved enough money to buy my own. The drum style machines that I had rented for almost 24 work days were terrible, back-breaking machines that felt like chasing a bull across every property I aerated. After a ton of research and price comparisons, I ultimately went with the PL2501SPH. While it is slightly more expensive than a base machine, it is well worth the investment. Last spring alone, I made equal the cost of the machine in just residential work. The transmission is fantastic, full forward and reverse. The best part is, my back is not broken after a day's work. The only downside is the price of replacement tines, they are a pretty penny... I’m thoroughly impressed with my new machine and The Billy Goat brand."*

      - Jeff D, Salt Lake City, UT

       

      "I absolutely love my Billy Goat PL2501. It’s super easy to operate and aeration is a breeze. It paid for itself in 2 seasons."*
