The Garvee 40-inch tow-behind spike aerator loosens compacted soil so air, water, and nutrients reach grass roots. It has 11 steel star wheels with spikes that penetrate up to 2 inches, and a 150 lb weight capacity for extra downforce. It suits lawn tractors, riding mowers, ATVs, and UTVs on lawns, gardens, and farms. Compared with plug aerators, it is simpler and faster but leaves larger holes and works best on moist soil.

With a 4.7-star rating from 11 reviews, owners generally find the aerator works well and is easy to use behind a riding mower or ATV. Some mention that it needs extra weight for best results and that the spikes can clog with debris.
The Garvee 40-inch tow-behind spike aerator loosens compacted surface soil so air, water, and nutrients can reach grass roots. It is designed to be towed by lawn tractors, riding mowers, ATVs, and UTVs. It can be used on lawns, gardens, farms, parks, and larger landscaped properties.
Eleven steel star wheels make openings in the soil as the aerator moves forward. It is a spike aerator, so it does not remove soil plugs like a hollow-tine core aerator. The reinforced tray holds up to 150 lb of added weight, such as concrete blocks or sandbags, to improve spike penetration in dry, hard, or clay-heavy ground. Any added weight should be secured before towing.
The heavy-duty steel frame has a protective powder coating that resists rust, abrasion, and outdoor wear. Integrated transport wheels let you raise the star wheels when crossing driveways, paths, or storage areas. A control handle switches between aerating and transport without removing the attachment. A pin-style universal hitch attaches to most lawn tractors, riding mowers, ATVs, and UTVs.
