Efficient and Precise Lawn Renovation
The Billy Goat OS552H is a professional-grade push overseeder designed for achieving exceptional lawn renovation results. At its core is a 20-inch (51 cm) VertiCut delta reel, which effectively slices into the soil to create the perfect environment for seed-to-soil contact, significantly boosting germination rates. This model is ideal for professional landscapers, grounds maintenance teams, and homeowners with large lawns who demand a robust and effective solution for thickening turf and repairing bare patches.
Intelligent and Economic Seeding
A standout feature is Billy Goat’s exclusive Auto Drop™ system. This intelligent design automatically starts and stops the flow of seed in direct coordination with the engagement of the blades, which is controlled by a heavy-duty bale handle. This prevents seed spillage when stationary or turning, conserving valuable seed and ensuring a clean, efficient job. The 11.3 kg capacity front-mounted poly seed box is both durable and practical; it won’t rust or dent, and conveniently features on-board instructions under the lid to help you select the correct drop rate for different seed types without guesswork.
Built for Durability and Versatility
Powered by the renowned 163cc Honda GX160 engine, the OS552H offers reliable power and performance. The construction reflects Billy Goat’s commitment to durability, with premier wheels featuring steel rims and roller bearings, a robust frame, and high-quality components throughout. For added convenience, the Fold-n-Go™ handles allow for tool-free folding, making storage and transport simple. This machine’s utility can be expanded further, as it easily converts into a power rake with the optional Spring Tine Reel, making it a highly versatile and valuable investment for any lawn care specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Billy Goat OS552H suitable for?
The OS552H is designed for professional use by landscape gardeners, contractors, and groundskeepers. It is also an excellent choice for homeowners with very large lawns who need a robust and efficient solution for lawn renovation and achieving a dense, healthy sward.
How does the Auto Drop™ system work?
The Auto Drop™ system is a seed-saving feature that links the seed dispersal mechanism to the blade engagement bale. When you engage the blades to start working, the seed box opens. When you disengage the bale to stop or turn, the seed box automatically closes, preventing seed from being wasted on paths, driveways, or areas you are not treating.
Can the OS552H be used for anything other than overseeding?
Yes, the Billy Goat OS552H is a versatile machine. By fitting the optional Spring Tine Reel accessory (Part #350355-S), it can be converted into an effective power rake for dethatching lawns, efficiently removing thatch buildup to improve turf health.
