Its ground-driven design provides durability and flexibility with high-speed performance. AerWay has a variety of tine options available to help tailor turf maintenance activities. Quickly replaceable, complete tined roller assemblies and attachments allow the same AerWay platform to be used. All aeration or soil preparation can be accomplished at higher speeds without the costly breakdowns of mechanically driven equipment. AerWay Div. of sAF-HoLLAnD canada Limited Billy Goat renovation equipment Billy Goat offers a full range of renovation equipment. The AE401 aerator boasts the industry's softest tine engagement with exclusive Lift N Lock disengagement for excellent comfort and productivity. The rugged PR550 power rake is designed for the most demanding use; with optional accessories, it converts to an overseeder or vertislicer. The OS901SPS hydrostatic overseeder is a self-propelled unit featuring a foot-actuated pedal to raise and lower the reel for reduced operator fatigue, and it comes with a new blade design for better slicing, reduced thatch pickup and longer life. Billy Goat industries, inc. classen RA-21 reciprocating aerator Classen offers a wide range of turf renovation products, including the RA-21 reciprocating aerator. The RA-21 is designed to aerate as quickly as one can mow. Designed similar to a 21-inch walk-behind mower, the RA-21 is just as easy to operate, maneuver, and turn. The reciprocating tines do all the work for the operator without the bounce and backache. The unit offers a 21-inch aeration swath for excellent coverage in a single pass made possible through an 8-tine bank that penetrates even the toughest soil conditions at a depth up to 2.75 inches. The core tines reciprocate at 450 revolutions per minute. And Classen achieves these results without a complicated and costly hydraulic system or added weight. Classen also offers the TRS-20 hydrostatic self-propelled power rake and the HTS-20 hydrostatic overseeder. classen/schiller Grounds care, inc. Ecolawn Applicator's Eco 200 Based on active research in the topdressing market, Ecolawn has developed the Eco 200. As a whole, the topdressing mar- ket is polarized by 2 products — sand and compost — with infinite blending possibilities. While the Eco 100 was designed specifically for the compost topdressing (lighter bulk materials) market, the Eco 200 was designed specifically for the sand topdressing (heavy bulk materials) market. At the core of the Eco 200 is its reverse-spin, dual-wheel broadcast system, which delivers a uniform spreading pattern with even the heaviest of materials. Additionally, the Eco 200 has a new 4-wheel design for increased weight distribution and stability; it can easily handle more weight without losing any of Ecolawn's popu- lar maneuverability and ease of operation. While sporting the same 1/3-cubic-yard hopper, the Eco 200 has an improved, larger hopper opening. The hopper's support design increases the maximum feed product volume by up to 20 percent and, at the same time, eliminates or reduces the bridging potential of less fluid products. Ecolawn Applicator Exmark 21-inch s-series aerator Exmark's 21-inch S-Series walk-behind aerator features a robust transaxle drive with variable speed and powered reverse. Designed to centralize weight over the heavy-duty, self-cleaning tines, the S-Series aerator is powered by a rugged, single- cylinder, Kawasaki KAI engine. The S-Series can aerate at up to 4 mph, delivering productivity of nearly an acre per hour. The simple, easy-to-use design features straightforward controls for intuitive operation. Exmark mfg. Grasshopper's pto-driven AERA-vator Grasshopper's PTO-driven AERA-vator is now available with 50-percent more tines to loosen soil without disrupting the surface. The AERA-vator provides effective aeration with minimal surface disruption, so turf is available for use immedi- ately after treatment. Available in 40- and 60-inch models, the AERA-vator is ideal for any application: improving (low-spot) drainage in turf areas that tend to pool; reducing the need for chemical applications through improved absorption; lifting and freshening beds without disturbing mulch; and preparing bare ground for seeding or sodding. the Grasshopper co.
