The Bobcat AE26 is a high-capacity, walk-behind aerator engineered for maximum productivity on larger residential lawns, commercial grounds, and sports fields. With a wide 660 mm aeration width and powered by a reliable Honda® GX120 engine, the AE26 allows you to cover significantly more ground in less time without sacrificing the maneuverability required for complex landscapes. Like its smaller counterpart, the AE26 features innovative Easy-Steer technology, enabling the operator to turn the machine effortlessly while the tines remain engaged in the soil. It utilizes 42 hardened alloy steel coring tines to penetrate up to 70 mm deep, providing superior relief from soil compaction and enhancing nutrient absorption. For optimal performance in varying soil conditions, the AE26 includes two 16 kg removable weights and a water-fillable drum to customize ground penetration. Built with a rugged, welded steel frame and featuring a toolless folding handle, the AE26 is the ultimate professional tool for high-efficiency turf renovation and maintenance.
