Tow-behind spike aerator, 40-inch, 11 steel tines

This is a 40-inch wide spike aerator designed to be towed behind a ride-on mower or garden tractor. It uses 11 sharp steel tines to pierce the soil, which helps to relieve compaction across a large lawn. Aerating is an effective lawn care task, often carried out in autumn before applying a seasonal feed to improve nutrient uptake.

The aerator's 40-inch width allows it to cover a significant area with each pass, making it suitable for larger domestic lawns or grassed areas. The unit's weight of 48.9 pounds provides the necessary downward pressure for the steel tines to penetrate the ground effectively, creating channels for air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots.

Designed for convenience, this model attaches to a standard hitch pin on a ride-on mower or garden tractor for towing. The tow-behind operation makes aerating large areas much faster and less strenuous than using manual tools. Its robust steel construction ensures it can handle the demands of regular use on compacted ground.
