    This machine combines true 30" wide aeration and speed up to 4.3 mph to complete 1/4 acre in as little as 15 minutes! That's 59% faster than a 26" drum! Plus no more lifting on turns; aerate in reverse; do trim and edges with ease; and significantly improve hole quantity and quality vs. drum aerators.

    The AE1300H features Patent Pending variable aeration density (VAD™) and creates 2-10 times more holes than drum models in one pass (8-48 holes per sq. ft.) This eliminates double or triple aerating with drum aerators that have fixed hole patterns as low as 4 per sq. ft. and saves significant time. VAD also offers ability to do patch repair and seed bed prep in one pass by simply slowing down over bare spots.

    Patent Pending FLEXTECH™ arms act independently and are durable and forgiving for unmatched reliability. The arm's reciprocating action drives plug depths up to two times that of drums. Call backs and/or rework regardless of soil conditions are significantly reduced. "In-Ground Turning" offers unrivaled maneuverability, fatigue-free operation and improved production plus reduces downtime and turf repair when compared to drum aerators. With only eight tines and 4 bolts, tine service on this unit takes 10% of the time needed to service 40+, 2-bolt drum units.

    The AE1300H Hydro Aerator offers one pass aeration, using one machine and a one man crew, for a one time aeration with no call backs. That's "One & Done Aeration" that sets a whole new standard in aeration productivity!

    Available for 2015.

    • Compared to traditional aerators, the quality of aeration with the "One & Done" 30" Hydro Aerator blows every other aerator out of the water!

    • I cut my aeration time in half while putting more holes in the ground, pulling deeper plugs, reverse aerating, and never having to raise tines to turn. The "One & Done" 30" Hydro Aerator is a landscaper's dream!

    • Our crews argued about who was going to get to use the "big green machine" when we tested the 30" Hydro Aerator for a Billy Goat Field Test. They all wanted it on their trailer because it was so easy to operate.

    • After a couple hundred aerations, we found this machine exceeded our commercial design expectation, gave us the increased productivity we were looking for and the crew loved it.
