Compacted soil results in thatch buildup and reduces the amount of water and nutrients your grass receives. If your lawn experiences moderate foot traffic, suffers from a thatch layer of more than ½ inch, or if you have heavy clay soil, you may need to aerate! Aerating your yard with Brinly’s 40″ Tow-Behind Spike Aerator perforates the soil over 2″ deep so seed, fertilizer, and water reach your lawn’s root system.

The durable, heavy-duty spike aerator in rugged gunmetal-tone finish comes with 11 galvanized steel stars and 132 total tine tips to ensure maximum aeration. The innovative 3D shape, with over 12 razor-sharp tips per star, is tested to be two times stronger than flat tines and resists bending, even in compacted soil. Each 8″ diameter star also rotates independently and continues revolving during tractor turns ensuring no area goes without aeration.
The solid steel tine shaft and heavy-duty nylon spacers provide years of dependability so you get a green, healthy lawn season after season. A fully-enclosed, 14-gauge steel weight tray provides a stable platform for up to 150 lbs. of additional weight, maximizing penetration in hard soil. The transport aerator comes standard with never-flat transport wheels -- perfect for crossing driveways, sidewalks, gravel paths, etc. Simply reach behind you and pull the lever to easily engage the wheels instead of the tines.
