Billy Goat’s self-propelled overseeder reduces fatigue associated with pushing and features intuitive forward and reverse operator controls. New to the unit is a blade design that reduces thatch and improves blade life due to its sharpened leading edge and attack angle combined with a new foot actuated height adjust that raises and lowers the reel effortlessly, providing more blade depth. The unit is 22” wide with an exclusive 11-blade slicing reel that floats along contours of yards increasing seed to soil contact and improving germination rates. The unit comes standard with a 30 lb. seed box that is generously elevated above the turf to eliminate any clogging that may occur from moisture. (Pictured with optional seed box cover.) Billy Goat’s exclusive Auto Drop™ system automatically starts and stops seed drop with bale engagement and disengagement conserving seed and preventing end-of-run seed piling. Infinite depth adjustment of the slicer blades promotes longer blade life vs. presets and seed settings are found on board for operator convenience.

FEATURES
- Heavy-duty infinite height adjustment
- Steel guards to protect bearings & pulleys
- Heavy-duty wheels

- Converts to overseeder or vertislicer with optional accessories
SPECIFICATIONS

- Reel: 20” Flail
- Productivity: 13,000 sq. ft/hr
The PR550 efficiently removes matted thatch from turf in 20” passes, and its rugged design withstands the most demanding use. Because the rotation is down sweep, the flails propel the PR forward, making it self-propelled and reducing fatigue.
Additionally, because it weighs slightly more than other power rakes on the market, with steel guards, heavier wheels, premium bearings, and a 10-gauge steel engine base, the PR absorbs much of the vibration before it is transferred to the handle, which improves operator comfort and handling.
The PR comes standard with Honda or Briggs power coupled to a free swinging , heat treated, tempered flail blade reel, mounted to heavy-duty cast iron pillow block bearings with grease zerks. The PR is convertible to overseeder or vertislicer with optional accessories.
