Efficient, easy-to-hitch aerator — ideal for lawns, parks, and small-to-mid turf areas with 20-50 HP tractors.
The BEFCO BCA-SD Core Aerator is engineered to relieve soil compaction and improve air and water circulation on lawns, sports fields, parks, golf roughs, and other turf surfaces. Its case-hardened spoons penetrate up to 4-1/2″ deep to extract soil cores every ~9″, helping roots breathe, water drain, and grass thrive.
This aerator is built to work with 20–50 HP tractors with a Cat. 1 three-point hitch — making it a great, versatile choice for landscapers, small-farm owners, golf course maintainers, and property managers who need dependable core-plug aeration without overpowered equipment.
Case-Hardened Closed Spoons
Each hub comes with 6 hardened spoons that dig and remove cores up to 4-1/2″ deep, easing soil compaction and improving root zone oxygenation.
Robust Rotor & Frame Construction
High-quality steel rotor shafts, welded flanges, and 8-gauge support panels ensure long-lasting durability under frequent use.
Cat. 1 Three-Point Quick Hitch Compatibility
Standard Cat. 1 linkage makes mounting and use straightforward on compatible tractors — no specialized equipment needed.
Multiple Width Options
Available in 48″, 60″, and 72″ working widths — suitable for small lawns up to larger turf areas.
Front or Rear Mounting
Reversible hitch allows you to mount the aerator at the front or rear of the tractor, offering flexibility depending on your setup.
Optional Spikes Instead of Spoons
On request, the aerator can be equipped with solid spikes instead of hollow spoons — useful for different soil types or maintenance needs.
