Our take on the Agri-Fab 45-0544 40 in Tow Behind Spike Aerator

The Agri-Fab 45-0544 is a 40-inch tow-behind spike aerator that pulls behind a riding mower or ATV and punches holes up to 2-1/2 inches deep in the lawn. Ten spike wheels carry 60 one-inch spikes, and a 100 lb weight tray lets you add ballast for harder, drier ground. It is a simple, low-cost way to relieve compaction on large lawns without renting a core aerator. Compared with plug aerators, it does not pull soil cores, so it loosens the surface but does less for deep compaction and thatch.

Best forLarge lawns that need quick surface reliefOwners with a riding mower or ATVLight soils and seasonal maintenanceBudget-minded gardeners who want to avoid rentals
Pros
  • 40-inch working width covers ground fast
  • 60 spikes on 10 wheels give dense coverage
  • Weight tray takes up to 100 lb for harder soil
  • Flat-free 10-inch wheels need no inflation
  • Simple pin-hitch hookup to most tow vehicles
Cons
  • Spikes only loosen the top 2-1/2 inches
  • No core removal, so thatch and deep compaction remain
  • Needs added weight to bite into dry, hard ground
  • Not suited to small or heavily sloped lawns

Questions and answers

Does it pull soil cores?
No. It drives solid spikes into the ground, so it loosens the top layer but leaves no plugs on the surface.
How much weight should I add?
The tray holds up to 100 lb. Add weight on dry, hard ground; skip it on soft soil after rain.
What can tow it?
A riding mower, garden tractor or ATV with a pin hitch. Check that your hitch pin size matches.
Is it better than a plug aerator?
It is faster and simpler, but a plug aerator relieves deep compaction and thatch better. Use this for light seasonal upkeep.
When should I aerate?
Aerate when the soil is moist, ideally in early fall or spring, so the spikes penetrate easily.
