Billy Goat Plugr PL2501SPH Hydro-Drive Petrol Lawn Aerator

Description

The Plugr PL2501SPH self-propelled hydro-drive aerator from Billy Goat delivers an impressive 4,000 square metres of aeration per hour at an impressive rate of 2.62mph or 3.846 feet per second. The machine is equipped with six reciprocating cam-driven tines which punch core depths to 2.75", even in hard soil.

The tines propel the unit forward with variable three-speed control from 2.5 - 3mph, which allows for a denser hole pattern at a slower speed where needed, ideal for flatter conditions. The proprietary EZ Drop™ tine system has a one-step tine engagement lever from the handle that permits the operator to pass over obstacles in the aeration path for uninterrupted aeration.

The aerator is powered by a 163cc Honda GX160 engine and is easy to manoeuvre without lifting, requires no add on weights, has no chains and is simple to service.

A built-in quick release receiver hitch offers simple conversion to a ride-behind unit when adding an optional chariot. This useful accessory reduces operator fatigue and increases productivity.

NB: Images for illustration purposes only show the PL2501SPV model with Briggs & Stratton engine.

Founded in 1967 as a subsidiary of Clipper Manufacturing, Billy Goat became independent in 1969. Today, the company is owned and operated by two generations of the Coates family. In 1974, Billy Goat moved to its current location just outside of Kansas City, Missouri, USA. Since that time, the company has expanded its facilities three times; the most recent being a 20,000 square foot addition occupied by welding and fabrication.

The company's reputation is one of durability, integrity, and innovation, not only designing for ease of use, but aggressively testing what it designs. It is not unusual to see Goats over 20 years old still in operation.

Since 1993, the company has made significant investments in benefits programmes, training, tooling and equipment, and facilities to make it more competitive in the future. Billy Goat is proud of its heritage, its people, its products, and its community. Rather than rest on its laurels, though, Billy Goat enthusiastically continues to look for ways to make cleaning up less of a chore.
