Billy Goat says its Next Gen 25-inch PLUGR provides up to 42,550 square feet of aeration per hour in a single pass and an estimated 30-plus percent greater return on investment versus traditional drum units, plus:
- Variable Aeration Density technology to vary hole spacing from 8 to 45 holes per square foot, permitting for the versatility of pulling plugs at the density suited for turf conditions.
- A reciprocating action that drives plugs up to twice the depth of drums.
- Performance in wet or dry conditions, saving time and maximizing productivity.
- EZ Lift n Drop tine engagement/disengagement to gently drag tines across obstacles in the aeration path with the simple release of a lever—all without interrupting aeration.
- An EZ Lift rear foot pedal that conveniently lifts and locks tines for added maneuverability when using the reverse feature or when transporting the unit.
- A 40-pound-capacity water weight tank positioned directly over the tines for better aeration depth and wheel traction in drier conditions.
- The ability to produce 45 holes per square foot at 0.5 MPH for patch repair and seed bed prep.
- Self-propelled rear-wheel hydro-drive and front-wheel casters for ultimate in-ground turning.
- No-tool flip-up hoods to maximize interior machine and belt access for easy service.
- Ideal suitability for commercial applications.
- A 163-cc Honda or 203-cc Vanguard 200 engine.
