Heavy-Duty Build for Demanding Residential and Commercial Applications
Durability is one of the strongest advantages of the BEFCO BCA-SD. It features thick 8-gauge steel side panels that provide full support to the rotors and withstand heavy down-pressure during operation. These panels protect the internal components from bending and ensure stable performance in varying soil conditions.
The machine’s rugged frame design supports intense workload cycles commonly encountered in athletic fields, golf turf, and municipal landscapes. Landscapers who rely on consistent, season-long performance will appreciate the BCA-SD’s ability to maintain efficiency, even with long hours of repeated use. Its commercial-grade components are built to manage tough terrains without compromising on aeration depth or core quality.
Extracts Clean Soil Cores Up to 4.5 Inches Deep
This core aerator removes consistent 4.5-inch plugs to relieve compaction and improve nutrient flow. Ideal for lawn aeration, turf renovation, and deep soil plugging.
Commercial-Grade Steel Spoons for Heavy Use
Features closed, case-hardened spoons that deliver powerful ground penetration. These long-lasting turf aerator spoons resist wear and provide professional core removal results.
Optimized 6.5-Inch Rotor Spacing for Uniform Aeration
Ensures evenly distributed core patterns across the entire working width. This spacing improves airflow, drainage, and soil structure across lawns, sports fields, and parks.
Durable 8-Gauge Steel Support Panels
Reinforced side panels fully support the rotors for long-term strength. Ideal for operators needing a rugged tractor aerator attachment that performs reliably in compacted soil.
Strong 1.25-Inch Rotor Shaft for Better Stability
The heavy-duty shaft maintains perfect alignment during aeration. This provides smoother operation and reduces stress on compact and utility tractors.
Category 1 Hitch for 20–50 HP Tractors
Designed as a Cat. 1 aerator compatible with most 20–50 HP tractors. Easy to attach, simple to operate, and ideal for homeowners, landscapers, and groundskeepers.
Bronze Bushings on Each Rotor for Smooth Rotation
High-quality bushings reduce friction for quiet, efficient performance. Essential for operators managing large turf areas or frequent lawn aeration cycles.
Optional Sand Weight Tanks for Extra Down-Pressure
Add extra weight when needed to maximize depth in tough or clay-heavy soil. Perfect for boosting performance on dense or high-traffic turf.
Reversible Hitch for Front or Rear Tractor Mounting
Flexible hitch orientation allows improved visibility and operational control. Ideal for professional landscapers who switch between different tractors and job types.
Replaceable Steel Spoons for Lower Maintenance Costs
Each spoon can be replaced individually without removing entire assemblies. This cost-efficient design makes the core aerator easier to maintain season after season.
With its rugged construction and advanced turf-conditioning capabilities, the BEFCO BCA-SD Core Aerator outperforms standard tractor aeration tools—providing deep soil penetration, efficient core removal, and professional-grade turf restoration in even the most compacted ground conditions.

Benefits
✔ Improves soil structure
✔ Deep core penetration
✔ Boosts turf root growth
✔ Enhances water absorption
✔ Reduces soil compaction
✔ Promotes healthier, greener turf
A core aerator is used to remove small plugs of soil from the ground to relieve compaction and improve turf health. By extracting these soil cores, a core aerator increases airflow, enhances water absorption, and allows nutrients to reach deeper into the root zone. This process helps grass grow stronger, greener, and more resilient on lawns, sports fields, parks, and other turf areas.
A high-quality core aerator can last 10–20 years or more with proper maintenance. Durability depends on build quality, soil conditions, and how often it’s used. Heavy-duty models with hardened steel spoons and reinforced frames—like commercial tractor aerators—typically offer the longest lifespan. Regular cleaning, lubrication, and timely replacement of spoons or tines help extend the aerator’s service life even further.
Core aeration is widely considered the best aeration method because it removes actual soil plugs, reducing compaction more effectively than spike aeration. By extracting deep cores, this method improves oxygen flow, enhances water penetration, and promotes stronger root growth. It delivers long-lasting results and is preferred for lawns, sports fields, and heavily compacted turf areas.
