Our take on the 40" Tow-Behind Lawn Aerator with Steel Tines

A 40-inch tow-behind lawn aerator with steel tines that pulls behind a riding mower or ATV to open up compacted soil. The wide 40-inch swath covers ground quickly, and the wood-and-metal frame includes onboard storage. It suits large lawns where a tow vehicle is already on hand, and it costs far less than a core aerator or a rental. The trade-off is that spike tines punch holes rather than pull plugs, so it relieves compaction less thoroughly than a true core machine.

Questions and answers

Does it need a riding mower to pull it?
Yes. It is a tow-behind unit, so you need a riding mower, garden tractor or ATV. A walk-behind mower is not suitable.
Does it pull soil cores or just spike holes?
Steel tines on a tow-behind aerator typically punch holes rather than pull cores. That relieves some compaction but does not remove plugs like a core aerator.
How wide is the coverage?
It is 40 inches wide, so each pass covers over 3 feet. A quarter-acre lawn takes roughly a dozen passes.
Can I add weight for hard ground?
The frame includes storage, and adding weight helps tines penetrate hard or dry soil. Keep the load balanced and within what the frame supports.
Is it worth buying over a core aerator?
It is the simpler, cheaper option and needs no engine, but it only spikes holes. A core aerator pulls plugs and relieves compaction more thoroughly, at a much higher cost.
When is the best time to aerate?
Fall and early spring are the usual windows, especially before overseeding. Aerating when the soil is moist, not dry and hard, helps the tines penetrate.
