The Garvee 40-inch tow-behind plug aerator is a pull-behind attachment for riding mowers and small tractors. It pulls cores of soil out of the lawn so water, air and fertilizer reach the roots, which relieves compaction better than spike or drum aerators. Its 40-inch working width and weight tray suit larger yards and owners who want to aerate in one or two passes. It is a heavier, wider tool than the 36-inch plug aerators many rivals sell, and it costs less than pro-grade units.

Owners rate it well overall, with most saying it pulls easily behind a riding mower and pulls visible cores. Complaints center on needing extra weight and on plugs left on the lawn.
This is a 40-inch tow-behind lawn aerator with an all-steel frame. It has steel plug tines and an adjustable bracket built to resist bending. The galvanized star tines break up compacted soil to a depth of up to 2 inches, which helps nutrients reach the roots.
A steel weight tray with solid side panels sits on the frame. Cement blocks or other weights can be added to help the tines penetrate in different lawn conditions. Large inflatable wheels give a smoother ride over uneven ground.
The aerator attaches with a universal hitch to a lawn tractor, ZTR mower or ATV. Double tow bars add rigidity for steady, straight tracking.
