Agri-Fab 40 In Tow Behind Lawn Plug Aerator with 24 Galvanized Coring Knives and Universal Hitch

The Agri-Fab 40 In Tow Behind Lawn Plug Aerator pulls small soil cores out of compacted yards to help air, water, and nutrients reach grass roots. Designed with a universal hitch, it attaches to standard riding mowers and lawn tractors, making it practical for homeowners with larger lawns who want to handle seasonal lawn care efficiently.

Equipped with 24 sharpened, galvanized coring knives, this unit cuts into tough ground to remove actual plugs of dirt rather than just puncturing the soil. Its 40-inch working width allows you to cover broad lawn areas in fewer passes, speeding up routine maintenance projects.

For smooth maneuverability across uneven yard conditions, the aerator rides on a pair of 10-inch by 3-inch pneumatic tires. A single lever transport handle allows you to easily raise the coring knives when crossing driveways or non-lawn areas, and the handle folds down to save space during off-season storage. Assembly occurs in Sullivan, Illinois, using global materials.

Because this is a tow-behind implement, you must own a compatible riding mower or tractor equipped to pull it. The product listing does not state a maximum tray weight limit if you plan to add weight for extra soil penetration. Verdict: This Agri-Fab plug aerator is a solid choice for homeowners with mid-to-large lawns who want an efficient tow-behind tool to loosen compacted soil. Its wide path and foldable transport handle balance performance with practical storage.
