Product Description
Befco Heavy Duty 3-Point Core Aerator Plugger | 20-70 HP | Model BCA-260 & BCA-272 For Tractor
DESCRIPTION
The BEFCO BCA HD Core Aerators are built to provide exceptional turf maintenance by alleviating soil compaction and improving air and water circulation. Designed for golf course fairways, municipal parks, sports fields, and roughs, these aerators deliver professional-grade results for maintaining healthy and vibrant turf.
With a working width of 60" or 72", these aerators feature 3/4” hardened steel spoons that penetrate up to 4-1/2” deep, removing compacted soil cores and allowing essential nutrients to reach the root zone. The hub spacing of 6-1/2” ensures maximum coverage, while the corrugated depth control roller compacts the soil effectively without causing damage.
Built for long-term durability, the high tensile steel shafts, 3/16” formed steel support panels, and 3/8” formed “A” frame provide the necessary strength to withstand heavy-duty use. The reversible hitch design allows for front and rear mounting, adding versatility for different applications.
For those needing an alternative aeration method, an optional spike kit can replace the spoons, offering solid spike aeration for specialized turf needs.
