Our take on the Brinly 40-in Spike Lawn Aerator SA2-40BH2-G

The Brinly SA2-40BH2-G is a tow-behind spike aerator that pulls behind a riding mower or lawn tractor. Its 40-inch swath carries a row of steel spikes that punch shallow holes as the drum rolls, letting water and air reach the roots. It has no weights, engine or moving parts, so it is simple and durable, but it only relieves shallow compaction. Compared with plug aerators that pull cores, it is lighter and cheaper to run but less effective on hard, clay-heavy soil. It suits owners of larger lawns who already have a riding mower and want light seasonal maintenance.

Best forOwners of half-acre or larger lawns with a riding mowerLight seasonal maintenance on already healthy turfBudget-minded gardeners who want no engine or maintenanceSpreading before overseeding or fertilizing

Questions and answers

Does this aerator pull soil cores?
No. It is a spike aerator, so it pushes holes into the turf rather than removing plugs. For deep compaction, a core aerator does more.
What can tow it?
It hitches to most riding mowers and lawn tractors with a pin hitch. It is not made for hand pushing.
Do I need to add weight?
On firm or dry lawns, yes. Extra weight helps the spikes penetrate; without it they mostly scratch the surface.
How wide is it?
The working width is 40 inches, so it covers a wide strip per pass behind a riding mower.
When should I aerate?
Aerate during active growth, usually spring or early fall, and water lightly beforehand so the spikes bite.
Does it help with overseeding?
It opens small holes that can hold seed and let water in, which helps a little. A core aerator gives seed more contact with soil.
