48 Tines, or Up to 96

Ensure thorough aeration for healthy, thriving turf with the tow-behind AE36’s high tine count. It has 48 tines with the ability to double up for an impressive 96 tines.

Durability & Uptime Protection

Heavy Cast-Iron Aeration Wheels

Conquer the jobsite with confidence. Cast-iron aeration wheels provide heavy-duty durability and additional weight for more effective tine penetration.

Rugged Design

Bobcat aerators are built to withstand the harsh conditions you work in. The rugged design of Bobcat aerators ensures you can do your best work for years to come.

Serviceability

Open Access to Lubrication Fittings

With open access to the lubrication fittings, maintenance is easy and smooth operation is ensured.

Versatility

Optional Zero-Turn Hitch Kit

Use the optional zero-turn hitch kit to equip your tow-behind AE36 aerator for use with your Bobcat zero-turn mower.

Choice of Electric, Hydraulic, or Manual Lifts

Choose 1 of 3 lift kit options to lower the wheels and raise the tines of the AE36 aerator for easy transport. If you're using the aerator with a Bobcat zero-turn mower or a machine without hydraulic functionality, a manual or electric lift kit can get the job done.
