Our take on the 40'' Tow Behind Plug Aerator

The 40'' Tow Behind Plug Aerator is a pull-behind lawn tool that punches plug holes in turf to relieve compaction. It uses steel tines and a 40-inch working width, so a lawn tractor or riding mower covers ground quickly. It suits homeowners with larger lawns who already own a riding mower. Against manual core aerators it saves labor but needs a tow vehicle and adds storage bulk.

Questions and answers

What does a plug aerator do?
It pulls small cores of soil out of the turf, which opens the ground so air, water and nutrients reach the roots. This differs from spike aerators, which push soil aside instead of removing it.
What can tow it?
It is designed to be pulled behind a riding mower or lawn tractor. A walk-behind mower is not suited to pulling a 40-inch unit.
When should I aerate?
Aerate when the soil is moist but not soggy, typically in fall for cool-season grasses and late spring for warm-season grasses. Avoid wet ground, where tines clog and tear turf.
Does it work on all soil types?
It works best on loam and clay that hold a plug shape. Sandy soil crumbles and rocky ground can jam the tines.
What is in the box?
The listing describes one piece and includes a cultivator. Check the box contents against the manual before first use.
Where is the 40'' Tow Behind Plug Aerator cheapest?
At Target, for $179.99, as of our latest check.
