We also appreciate the easy-to-use transport lever that allows you to disengage the plugs quickly when you want to avoid sidewalks or sprinkler components. Since it is a plug aerator, it is perfect for clay soils and has "no-flat" tires to handle different terrain without issues.Īlthough you do need to add the weight yourself, we appreciate that the weight tray holds up to 150 pounds of concrete blocks to ensure adequate soil depth.
We also think this is an excellent option for bigger yards-the 40-inch width and 24 3-inch plugs help cover large areas quickly. We love that it has a universal hitch that can attach to any lawn tractor, UTV, or ATV, so you don't have to manually move it around your yard. The Brinly-Hardy Tow Behind Plug Aerator wins the top spot on this list for its durable, all-steel construction and ease of use. The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board.
