High-Productivity Commercial Aeration with Hydrostatic Drive

The Red Roo PL2501 PLUGR Self Propelled Aerator is a commercial-grade hydro-drive aerator designed to combine high productivity, operator comfort and consistent core aeration.

Powered by a genuine 5.5 hp Honda GX160 engine, the PL2501 features a 635 mm (25") aeration width and reciprocating cam-driven tine system capable of producing cores up to 70 mm (2.75") deep.

Its intuitive variable-speed hydrostatic drive provides fingertip forward and reverse control directly from the handles, allowing the operator to adjust travel speed without changing gears. The machine can aerate up to approximately 3,953 m² per hour in a single pass.

Billy Goat's Variable Aeration Density (VAD™) system allows hole density to be adjusted simply by changing travel speed. Slower operation produces a greater number of holes, making the PL2501 suitable for everything from high-density aeration and seed-bed preparation through to faster general aeration work.

The PL2501 also incorporates in-ground turning, an EZ Lift™ rear foot pedal and EZ Lift n Drop™ tine engagement system to make manoeuvring, transporting and passing over obstacles easier for the operator.

A built-in water-weight tank sits directly over the tines to help increase tine penetration and wheel traction when ground conditions are dry, while no-tool flip-up hoods provide convenient access to internal components for routine servicing.

Features

  • Genuine Honda GX160 Engine: Powered by a genuine 5.5 hp Honda GX160 OHV engine for demanding commercial aeration applications.
  • 635 mm Aeration Width: The 25-inch working width provides greater productivity than smaller walk-behind aerators while remaining manoeuvrable enough for commercial turf and lawn applications.
  • Self-Propelled Hydrostatic Drive: Variable-speed hydro drive provides smooth forward and reverse movement directly from the handle controls, with no gear shifting required.
  • Variable Aeration Density (VAD™): Hole density changes with travel speed, allowing the operator to produce high-density aeration for renovation and seed-bed preparation or increase travel speed for faster general aeration.
  • Reciprocating Cam-Driven Tines: The reciprocating tine system drives the coring tines vertically into the soil for effective core removal and reduced compaction around the inside surface of the aeration hole compared with spoon-style tine systems.
  • Up to 70 mm Core Depth: Produces cores up to 70 mm (2.75") deep to help relieve soil compaction and improve the movement of air, water and nutrients through the turf profile.
  • Six Heat-Treated Hollow Coring Tines: Six machine heat-treated hardened thin-wall 5/8-inch hollow tines use a simple screw-in design for straightforward servicing and replacement.
  • In-Ground Turning: Allows the machine to turn while the tines remain engaged, improving manoeuvrability and reducing the need to repeatedly raise the aeration mechanism at the end of each pass.
  • EZ Lift™ Rear Foot Pedal: The rear foot pedal conveniently lifts and locks the tines into the transport position and allows them to be raised before reversing.
  • EZ Lift n Drop™ Tine Engagement: A handle-mounted engagement system allows the operator to quickly engage or disengage the tine action and pass over obstacles in the aeration path.
  • Water Weight Tank: The integrated water tank is positioned directly over the tines to improve tine penetration and wheel traction in dry ground conditions.
  • No-Tool Flip-Up Hoods: Flip-up covers provide convenient access to the inside of the machine and improve access for belt servicing and routine maintenance.
  • Heavy-Duty Wheel Setup: Large 15-inch foam-filled rear tyres provide traction and durability, while semi-pneumatic front casters assist manoeuvrability.
  • High Commercial Productivity: Capable of aerating up to approximately 3,953 m² (42,550 ft²) per hour in a single pass.
