Our take on the Agri-Fab 45-0299 Lawn Aerator

The Agri-Fab 45-0299 is a tow-behind plug aerator that pulls 3/4-inch soil cores up to 3 inches deep. It has 32 galvanized knives on four spools and a weight tray that holds up to 140 lb for extra penetration. It suits larger lawns and uneven ground where a manual aerator is too slow. Compared with spike aerators, it relieves compaction better, but it needs a rider or tractor to tow and leaves cores on the lawn.

How deep does it aerate?
It can pull plugs up to 3 inches deep. Depth depends on soil moisture and how much weight you add to the tray.
Do I need to add weight?
The weight tray holds up to 140 lb. On hard or clay soil, most owners add weight to get full penetration.
What is included in the box?
The aerator, 32 galvanized knives on four spools, pneumatic tires, a transport handle, and a 3/8-inch hitch pin. Weights are not included.
