Our take on the Agri-Fab 45-0299 48-Inch Tow Plug Aerator

The Agri-Fab 45-0299 is a 48-inch tow-behind plug aerator that pulls 32 galvanized knives through the soil to relieve compaction. It is built for lawn tractors and ATVs, with a 93 lb frame that adds weight for penetration and flat-free tires that need no air. It suits larger yards, clay-heavy soils and small sports or playground turf where a walk-behind aerator is too slow. Compared with spike aerators, plug tines pull actual cores and open the soil more; the trade-off is a heavier, bulkier unit that needs a tow vehicle and storage space.

Questions and answers

Does it need a lawn tractor or can an ATV pull it?
Either works if it has a rear hitch and enough weight to pull 93 lb through soil. A small riding mower handles it on level ground.
How deep does it aerate?
The tines reach up to about 3 inches, depending on soil moisture and how much weight is on the frame.
Does it pull plugs or just spike holes?
It pulls soil cores. The hollow knives remove plugs rather than punching spike holes, which relieves compaction better.
Can I add weight for hard soil?
Yes. The frame accepts added weight, and many owners use it on dry, compacted lawns to push the tines deeper.
What is included?
The aerator, 32 galvanized knives and flat-free tires. A tow hitch pin is not included, so check your tractor's hitch.
Is it good for clay soil?
Yes. Clay and compacted ground are its main use, though you may need to aerate when the soil is slightly damp and add weight.
