Frequently Asked Questions Is this a spike aerator or a core aerator? It is a core or plug aerator. Its hardened-steel tines remove plugs of soil rather than simply pressing spikes into the ground. How wide is the aerating path? The machine provides an 18-inch aerating width. How deep can it aerate? The tines can remove soil plugs up to 3 inches deep. Actual depth will vary depending on soil moisture, compaction and the amount of ballast being used. Are the ballast plates included? Yes. Two removable 15 lb ballast plates are included to provide additional weight over the tines when greater soil penetration is required. How fast does it operate? The variable-speed drive provides a maximum ground speed of approximately 3.6 mph, allowing the operator to adjust the pace for different soil conditions. Does this model have U-Turn swivel steering? No. This is the standard BravePro walk-behind aerator with four flat-free tires. The BRPWBA18H is the separate U-Turn model equipped with swivel steering. Can the handle be folded for transport? Yes. The handle folds down to reduce the dimensions to approximately 43 inches long, 29.75 inches wide and 30.5 inches high. How is the aerator delivered? The aerator ships by LTL freight. Free standard delivery is included to an eligible commercial business address with tractor-trailer access and suitable unloading equipment. Residential delivery, limited-access delivery and liftgate service may incur additional charges.
