Billy Goat AE1300HEU Hydro Series Reciprocating Hydro Aerator 30″ Wide

Description

The Billy Goat AE1300HEU Aerator from the Hydro Series sets a new benchmark for professional aeration performance, combining precision, power, and exceptional speed. With a true 30″ (76 cm) working width and aeration speed of up to 6.9 km/h, this machine can cover 1,600 m² in just 15 minutes — making it 59% faster than traditional 26″ drum aerators.

Powered by a 390 cc Honda engine, the AE1300HEU delivers commercial-grade reliability and consistent power for demanding use. Featuring Variable Aeration Density (VAD™), operators can create anywhere from 8 to 48 holes per square metre in a single pass, allowing flexibility for both deep aeration and precision patch repair. Its hydrostatic transmission provides variable drive speed and enables aeration in both forward and reverse directions, significantly improving productivity and efficiency.

Equipped with FLEXTECH™ arms, the unit produces cores up to twice the depth of drum-style aerators, adapting effortlessly to varying soil conditions. The In-Ground Turning system allows operators to make smooth, controlled turns without lifting, ensuring minimal turf damage and maximum output on every job.

For added practicality, the AE1300HEU features large 15″ (38 cm) tyres and a 35″ (89 cm) wheelbase, offering superior stability and slope capability up to 20 degrees. With only 8 tines secured by 4 bolts, maintenance and servicing take just a fraction of the time required for comparable drum aerators — reducing downtime and keeping productivity high.
