The Yard Tuff Tow-Behind Drum Plug Aerator is a 36-inch pull-behind unit with 54 replaceable plugs that punch about 3 inches into the soil. Its 39.6-gallon drum takes water or sand for weight, and with the plugs out it doubles as a lawn roller. It hooks to an ATV, UTV or lawn tractor, so it suits larger yards and rural properties better than small suburban lots. Compared with spike aerators it pulls real cores and relieves compaction more effectively, but it needs weight in the drum and several passes to show results.

Owners of larger properties generally find it does the job once the drum is weighted, and like that it rolls as well as aerates. Complaints center on the weight needed for hard soil and on the effort of filling and emptying the drum.
