How does a spike aerator differ from a plug aerator?

Spike tines push holes into the soil, while plug aerators pull out small cores of soil. Spike aeration relieves some compaction but does not remove thatch the way coring does.

How much weight should I put in the tray?

The tray holds up to 150 lbs. Start with less on soft ground and add weight on hard, compacted turf to push the tines deeper.

Does it come assembled?

No. Assembly is required, and the box contains the aerator and instructions.

Can I drive it over a driveway or walkway?

Yes. The lever raises the tines, and the two tires let you tow it across lawns, driveways and walkways without dragging the spikes.

Our take on the DEXSO 40in Tow Behind Lawn Aerator

The DEXSO 40in Tow Behind Lawn Aerator is a pull-behind spike aerator with a 40-inch working width and 11 independently rotating steel star tines. A built-in steel tray holds up to 150 lbs of weight to push the tines deeper into compacted ground, and a cantilevered lever raises and lowers the tines for transport. The all-steel Q235A frame with reinforced side panels and two tires is built for repeated towing behind riding mowers, tractors and ATVs. It suits larger lawns that need routine aeration without a dedicated walk-behind machine; it is a spike aerator, so it pokes holes rather than pulling cores like a plug aerator.
