Tow-Behind Plug Aerator, 40-Inch, Universal Hitch Tray

Tow behind plug aerator improves soil airflow and drainage to help grass roots take in water and nutrients with less manual effort. The 40-inch working width covers more ground per pass, while 2-inch tine penetration breaks up compacted soil for stronger, thicker turf. Designed to tow behind a lawn tractor or riding mower, it includes a weight tray for added downforce and more consistent aeration across varied soil types.

• Delivers 40-inch extra-wide coverage to aerate large lawns, farmland, and gardens in fewer passes


• Penetrates up to 2 inches to break compacted ground and support healthier root growth


• Supports up to 120 lb added weight in the tray for deeper, more even results while towing


• Handles tough terrain with 8-inch pneumatic tires for smooth rolling over grass, mud, and slopes


• Includes tools for quick setup; pre-assembled tines help you get started faster

Built for repeated seasonal use, this pull-behind aeration tool uses an iron, powder-coated frame and reinforced hardware to resist rust and outdoor exposure. Universal hitch compatibility makes it easy to pair with most garden tractors and riding mowers, while the strap slots on the tray help secure sandbags or weights so they stay put during turns. If you’re dealing with hard, dry ground or heavy clay, add weight and make clean passes to open the soil and improve drainage. Grab yours today.
