Billy Goat AE400 Series 19" Core Aerator Accessories

Billy Goat AE400 Series 19" Core Aerator Accessories provide specialized tine options for homeowners, professional landscapers, lawn-care contractors, rental businesses, and property maintenance crews. Designed for the Billy Goat AE400 Series, including the Honda-powered AE401H and Vanguard-powered AE403V, these accessories allow operators to customize their aerator for different turf and soil conditions. With hollow tines, solid tines, and a solid spike tine kit available, operators can select the appropriate configuration for core aeration, soil penetration, and specialized lawn renovation.

KEY FEATURES

• FIVE SPECIALIZED ACCESSORY OPTIONS: Choose from four individual tine configurations and a solid spike tine kit to expand the versatility of the AE400 Series aerator. These options help operators adapt their equipment to different soil conditions, turf treatments, and customer requirements.
• HOLLOW CORE AERATION: Specialized hollow tines are available in 3/8 in (9.5 mm) and 1-1/2 in (38.1 mm) diameters for applications requiring soil-core extraction. The different sizes allow operators to select smaller or larger core openings according to their turf-maintenance objectives.
• SOLID TINE AERATION: Solid tines are available in 3/8 in (9.5 mm) and 7/8 in (22.2 mm) diameters for soil penetration without core removal. These options are useful when operators want to create openings in the ground without leaving extracted soil plugs on the lawn.
• SOLID SPIKE CONVERSION: The optional solid spike tine kit allows the AE400 Series to be configured for solid-spike aeration instead of conventional hollow-core extraction. This provides an alternative aeration method for applications where removing soil cores is not desired.
• CUSTOMIZED SOIL PENETRATION: Multiple tine diameters allow operators to adjust their aeration approach for specific turf conditions and renovation requirements. This flexibility helps contractors select an appropriate configuration for routine maintenance or specialized soil treatment.
• AE400 SERIES COMPATIBILITY: These accessories are listed for the Billy Goat AE400 Series, including the AE401H and AE403V models. They provide additional aeration options for operators using the 19 in (48.3 cm) core aerator.
• PROFESSIONAL AND RENTAL FLEXIBILITY: Multiple accessory configurations allow landscaping contractors and rental businesses to accommodate a wider range of lawn-care applications. Offering both hollow-core and solid-tine options helps operators adapt their existing aerator to different project requirements.

APPLICATIONS / USE CASES

• RESIDENTIAL LAWN AERATION: Specialized tine options allow homeowners and lawn-care professionals to choose an aeration method appropriate for residential turf. The available configurations support routine seasonal maintenance and targeted lawn treatments.
• SOIL COMPACTION RELIEF: Hollow and solid tines provide different methods of penetrating compacted soil. Operators can select a configuration based on whether extracting soil cores is required for the intended treatment.
• TURF RENOVATION: Different tine diameters provide flexibility when preparing lawns for renovation and recovery. Smaller or larger openings can be selected according to the intended treatment and existing soil conditions.
• NON-CORING AERATION: Solid tines and the solid spike tine kit penetrate the soil without extracting plugs. These options are useful for applications where operators prefer to leave the soil in place.
• HOLLOW-CORE EXTRACTION: Hollow tines remove soil cores to create openings in the turf. These openings can improve the movement of air, water, and nutrients into the root zone as part of a comprehensive lawn-maintenance program.
• COMMERCIAL GROUNDS MAINTENANCE: Landscaping contractors and property maintenance crews can use different tine configurations to accommodate varying turf conditions across multiple properties. This versatility is useful for maintaining commercial lawns, institutional grounds, and landscaped common areas.
• EQUIPMENT RENTAL BUSINESSES: Offering specialized tines and a solid spike conversion kit allows rental businesses to accommodate customers with different aeration requirements. Multiple accessory options expand the range of applications supported by an existing AE400 Series aerator.
