Product Round-up | Turf Aerators Billy Goat AE401H
The Billy Goat AE401H aerator completely eliminates the conventional and cumbersome filling of the center drum found on competitive units, which is prone to wear and tear, vibration and damage. In addition, the unit also eliminates bulky steel weights in favor of a simple-to-use water weight positioned directly over the tines for better aeration depth. Operators love the Fold N Go handles, and easy-adjust chains make service and transport convenient and simple. For more information, visit www.billygoat.com.

Harley M Series Power Box Rake
The Harley M Series Power Box Rake by Paladin Construction Group teams with skid-steers to level, aerate and prepare soil for seeding.

The rugged Rhino-Hide barrier adjusts so the operator can choose the amount of material left in the seedbed de- pending on the soil moisture conditions — allowing for faster drying in wet and muddy conditions.
