Heavy-Duty Core Aeration for Lawns & Turf
Durable tractor-mount aerator built to relieve soil compaction and revitalize turf on lawns, sports fields, and golf courses.
The BEFCO BCA HD Core Aerator is engineered to tackle compacted soil and poor turf conditions on lawns, parks, golf fairways, sports fields, and other grass surfaces. By extracting soil cores up to 4-1/2" deep, it relieves root-zone compression and allows water, air, and nutrients to penetrate deeply — promoting healthier, stronger grass and improved drainage.
With heavy-duty construction, hardened steel spoons, and compatibility with 20-70 HP tractors (Cat. 1 & 2), this aerator is ideal for professional landscapers, golf course superintendents, and property owners who need a robust, reliable solution for turf maintenance. Optional sand-fill tanks (weights) increase downward pressure for tougher soils, ensuring consistent core removal even in hard or compacted ground.
BEFCO BCA HD Core Aerators Key Features
Deep & Frequent Core Extraction
Removes soil cores up to 4-1/2" deep with 8 hardened-steel spoons per hub — providing ~25% more cores per square foot for efficient aeration.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Features high-tensile steel shafts, welded flanges and robust “A”-frame build for long-term durability under demanding field conditions.
Tractor-Mount & Quick Hitch Ready
Compatible with Cat. 1 & 2 three-point quick-hitch systems; reversible hitch allows mounting front or rear — flexible for different tractor setups.
Multiple Models & Width Options
Available in working widths of 60" (BCA-260) and 72" (BCA-272), accommodating small to larger turf areas efficiently.
Low Maintenance Rotor Design
Each rotor runs on two bronze bushings, reducing wear and simplifying maintenance compared to plain-bearing designs.
Optional Upgrades – Spikes or Added Weight
Can be factory-equipped with solid spikes instead of spoons for different soil types, and optional sand-weight tanks boost downward force for tough ground.
